Question Need help with installing new fans

[Irilya96]

Hi all,

New to the forum so I'm not entirely sure if I'm posting this in the right channel.

I recently bought some new pc fans (a set of 5 Deepcool RF120 RGB Fans) for my computer as it was having a bit of an overheating problem.

I have an Asus Z270-A Prime motherboard and a CiT G(e?)-Force case (plan on upgrading to a Deepcool Matrexx 55 at some point), which came preinstalled with 3 120mm fans (2 on front, 1 on back). My question is... where do I connect them all to? The chassis fan headers? Does the ARGB header come into play? I'm sorry if I sound like a total idiot. Thanks for all the help you can give.

You'll need to plug the fans into fan power so the motherboard headers or if you don't have enough motherboard headers then buy a a fan splitter (but your motherboard has enough headers), and for the RGB you will need a 5-way splitter as your intalling 5 rgb fans, you plug all the ARGB connectors in as well as the normal fan connectors

These are the 3 types of cables connected to the fan + what the inside of my PC looks like atm

I think I managed to get them to work but they're pulling air in the wrong direction...
