Question Not Sure where to put my 3 fans connectors

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

The addressable RGB header on your motherboard is located towards the bottom left corner of the motherboard;

Page 1-1, header labelled as ADD_GEN2. You hook your 3 fans off the splitter and the splitter goes onto the header on the motherboard.

ARGB Fans really are two devices in one unit - a fan MOTOR, and some LIGHTS in the frame. You will have seen now that each fan has TWO cables - one for the motor, one for the lights. Your post does not specify which of these you are asking about, but for now we'll concentrate on the lights.

Lutfij has pointed out the exact mobo header you use. Many makers sell ARGB Splitters. This MUST specify for ARGB, not for plain RGB. ARGB has connectors with THREE pins looking like it had 4 but one is missing. Cooler Master sells two models. One has five outputs


which is more than you need unless you have other units to add. If you use this, just put a bit of tape around the pins of the unused outputs to avoid short circuits.

Their other model has only three outputs, but also has an extra input arm for use with a different mobo header style you do not have.


This model also has a slightly different connector design for the outputs, like many other competitor products. The cables end in female connectors, but the unit includes three adapters you plug into those to convert them to males. Beware some competitors do NOT include those adapters!

Both your fans and your mobo header have the newest Ger2 version of ARGB lights so you CAN use them together for best effects. The earlier version is a little more limited in some display types. When you get it all set up, look inside the software utility Aura Sync that comes with your mobo for lighting control. Look for an option to set it to use either Gen1 or Gen2 version of ARGB, and ensure it is set to the more advanced Gen2 so you can use all your lights' capability.

IF you ever add more ARGB lighting devices try to get them with that Gen2 design. If you try to mix the two design versions on one circuit (and you have only the one mobo header to connect to) you will need to set the software tool to use only the simpler Gen1 version. If all your lights are Gen2, then set that way.
