This is mainly aiming for my coolermaster rgb case fans airflow 120mm. They are not turning nor they are lighting up. I got some saying that I have yo check my BIO for it but IDK what to look for.

My motherboard is a AX370-gaming k5
 
If these fans are true RGB fans, then they will have 2 cables coming off each. One for fan power and one for lights. If they came with the case, then they may connect to some kind of hub. The connections are fairly simple. If they are connected properly, then they should come on ... unless there is some kind of hardware fault.

You are correct that some motherboard's BIOS can control the RGB and fan speed. On others it is done through software. But, as long as it is connected correctly, you should be getting the fans spinning at some speed or some light.

Did the fans come with your case or did you get them separately? How did you connect them to the motherboard? Pictures help.
 


I forgot that its connected to an Coolermaster rgb controller and that's being connected to the motherboard USB
 
No problem ... it's easy to forget stuff when you're frustrated.

If the the controller is like this one : http://www.coolermaster.com/cooling/cooling-rgb-accessories/rgb-led-controller/ then you will have a USB plug, but also a SATA power plug (for power). This will control the lights only. There should be another cable from each fan for fan speed. This will plug into your motherboard or some kind of fan hub.
 


All three are connected in a 4 pin splitter cable and that's plugged into the rgb controller. But they're not turning on still.
