Hello.
Not long ago, I bought a new CPU Tower fan with 4 heat pipes.
The Fan is great at keeping the CPU at decent temps from 36-55ish.

However, The only problem is that I'm out of wires to plug in the LEDS of the fan, Is there a way to fix this other tank buying a whole new powersupply for only LEDS?

Is there a safe way, Or stripping wires is dangerous?
Is there any other solution.

I don't know what are these cables called, But it has connector of 4 pins. Same connector you use to connect the GPU to the powersupply.

We're going to need more information. Please include your system's specs like so:
CPU:

Also, please include the fans for the system that you're working with(and a image of the connectors) so we know you're not misinterpreting what the connectors are.

u dont have connector for cpu rgb...on motherboard
The fan connector is connected to the motherboard and it is working, The fan is spinning nicely.

However, The LEDs require a different connector, The one I showed you.
Which leads to my main problem, I don't have any spare connectors, That fit with the Fan's LED connector.
I only have 2 cables and used it for the GPU 6 pin connector.

The fan has 2 connectors, One on the motherboard, and one for the powersupply.

Damn, Though I could have some of that lovely LED lights.

Thanks alot!

Edit: When I connected the LEDs to the powersupply by removing the gpu my fan lights worked fine.
So now the LEDs are connected to psu whule fan connected to motherboard
 
the connector you've shown is a 4-pin Molex, they can be daisy-chained or you can add a Y-cable
