Question Included case fan controller...what cables should I purchase?

[mediumpotato]

I recently completed my first pc build since 2004 and everything went smoothly thanks to advice on here and elsewhere. One thing that still remains incomplete though and is driving me crazy is the included fan controller in my Rosewill Spectra X case.

There were no included cables and the manual has been zero help. Essentially, before I go and buy any cables to get my case fans up and running with rgb lighting, I was hoping someone here might have some advice.

For the power, from what I can gather i need a female 4 pin PWM to connect to the hub....and then does that go to a sata connector to my psu? Can I go to a fan header on the mobo? Sorry for the novice questions, literally haven't done this since 2004

For the RGB, assuming it's just something like this:

which i assume goes to my available RBG header on the mobo?

Any help appreciated!

The RGB fans that came with your case do not connect to MoBo in any way. Instead:

10 LED Modes: The SPECTRA X is equipped with 4 pre-installed 120mm double ring RGB case fans (3 front, 1 rear) capable of 7 static colors, 2 effects and 1 rainbow RGB mode, conveniently controlled via top panel LED button

Meaning that when you connect the RGB fans to the RGB hub; connect SATA power to it and the fan 4-pin wire to fan header to your MoBo; then fans follow the fan curve of that single fan header (which you can set from BIOS) while all the RGB is controlled from the LED button on your case's front I/O.

Thank you for this help, I really appreciate it. So if I understand your reply correctly, the power connector goes to SATA power. I am still unfamiliar with what type of connection point it on the controller for the power. Do you know what end connector I am looking for? Specifically I am looking for connection point #1 in this attached image. Is this a PWM connector or am I looking at something else. Sorry, total novice and all.

Did some digging and you need to have additional wire which has SATA power connector on one end and that proprietary 4-pin connector on the other end that plugs into that "Power" slot.

Also, as seen from image, the 3-pin slot next to Power slot is used to connect RGB hub to MoBo, again, with specific cable.
