Phanteks 400s Tempered Glass Fan/RGB Connections

Hi, I have a Phanteks Eclipse P400S Tempered Glass case, and I'm not quite sure how the fan connectors should be used. They both come connected to what seems like an RGB header, which I then plugged the included RGB strip into. However, it doesn't seem like there is a spot on the motherboard to directly plug the other end of this strip into. Does anyone out there have experience with this case?
Thanks

Asus and Asrock have the same RGB header pin layout, so the above adapter will work for Asrock:

It's an ASRock AB350 Pro4 https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/AB350%20Pro4/ . There is an RGB header connector, but it doesn't fit the Phanteks cable.
 


Gotcha, I thought that might work. The only concern I have is, do you know if that one connector will be able to power both fans as well as the RGB strip, since the case fans are both connected into a Y-connector, which is connected to the RGB cable?
 
Yes! RGB header for case fans supports up to a total of 36Watt (3A on 12V), an RGB strip (2.5m) = 7 watt for 50 cm led strip,
The fans led power consumption is almost negligible ( as they are spinned by the mobo fan headers)
(note inner RGB fan header clearly labeled is designed for AMD CPU cooler wraith RGB supports only 12 watts but still might suffice to drive RGB for 2 fans and short strip)
