[SOLVED] MSI B350 bazooka fan questions

[KeyMB]

I am newer to gaming pc’s and wanted to see if I could get some questions answered. I have a CP, Ryzen 5, 1060 6gig, the dreaded 450w psu, etc. had 2 stock fans and an LED strip connected to the board of the LED color changing button up front. My question is I’m wanting to upgrade to some rgb fans and somewhat understand the jled/sys fan headers. I see my 2 fans running but with only one system fan header being used. How is the second powered? And only having one jled 12v pin set on the MOBO, does this mean only one color rgb fan may work. I’m wanting to remove both stock fans and replace with rgb fans. What is the best way to go about this. I appreciate you reading this and helping. Thanks again.

You could get a fan splitter like this EKWB...or connect the fans to a Molex connector from the PSU.
Your motherboard does not have RGB headers, so make sure to get fans that do not need the RGB power to be drawn from motherboard.

Thanks for the response. Another question is if not rgb headers, what purpose is the JLED1 pin set on the board next to sys_fan? I see some videos with rgb fans using that and a system fan header. I could be misunderstood though of course

You are right the JLED1 is a LED/RGB header.
You will need a RGB splitter if you want to connect more than one LED device.
Make sure to align the cable properly...you will see a little arrow to match it to the 12v pin.
