Question How do i change the RGB on my case fans?

[vibesck]

SPECS:
Motherboard: B660M DS3H AX DDR4

Case: Aero One (AeroCool)

I cannot figure out how to change the rgb on my case fans.
All of my fans are plugged in a fan hub. Which is connected to my motherboard trough a cable, which splits into 3. The first one (M/B Gigabyte With VDG) (CABLE D) is not connected to anything. The second one (M/B ASUS/MSI/GIGABYTE WITH XWD) (CABLE B) is connected to D_LED. The third one (PWM CONNECTOR) (CABLE A) is connected to SYS_FAN3. What do i need to do?

This is whats written on the fan hub manual:
For ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, and GIGABYTE RGB Fusion Motherboards
1. Connect (A) to motherboard's PWM socket
2. Connect (B) to motherboard's Addressable RGB socket
3. Connect (C) to PSU's SATA connector

For GIGABYTE RGB Fusion Motherboards
1. Connect (A) to motherboard's PWM socket
2. Connect (D) to motherboard's Addressable RGB socket
3. Connect (C) to PSU's SATA connector

For Non-Addressable RGB Motherboards
1. Connect (A) to motherboard's PWM socket
2. Connect the 2-Pin reset switch connector (E) with your hub.
3. Connect (C) to PSU's SATA connector
4. Use the RGB fan connectors (F) to connect the Addressable
RGB fans with your hub.

Thank you for your help!

Per your description, since all connections from the hub are made to the board and PSU,
i.e,
A -> any PWM fan connector on the board, preferably chassis fan header
B -> goes onto D_LED header on the bottom of the motherboard
C -> an available SATA power plug/harness stemming from your PSU
you should be able to manipulate the lighting using RGB Fusion which is available for download off of your motherboard's support stie;

first listing in the link provided. Once you've got the app downloaded and installed, press and hold down the rest button(if it's wired to the ARGB/PWM hub)for 3 secs and that will allow the motherboard to manage your lighting, meaning you can set them to your liking within RGB Fusion app.

I forgot to mention that my reset button is wired to my motherboard and not the fan hub. Unplugging the cable is really hard since its small and my gpu is in the way. Do you know if it'll it break if i pull it from the cable itself and not the socket?

I managed to unplug the reset cable and plug it in the fan hub and now it works. Thank you.

Lutfij said it right above. MANY hub boards like this use that trick: press and hold the front -panel RESET button to turn over control to a signal fed to the board from a mobo ARGB (or D_LED) header, then use the mobo-supplied utility (RGB Fusion) to control lights. This setting MAY not "stick", so you may have to do this every time you reboot.

To get this to work you MUST remove the cable from your front panel "RESET" switch from the mobo Front Panel header and plug it into the LED_KEY 2-pin connector on the top corner of your hub board. Then that button is NOT a Reset button anymore. I can be used with repeated presses to step through several pre-progamed lighting displays that the board can do. OR you can use it as above to turn over control to the (better) system on your mobo.

If you cannot reach that connector easily to unplug from the header, it is VERY likely that you CAN simply pull on the cable. The connector simply slides onto two pins with limited friction, so the connector should slide off easily.
