Hello, welcome! I’m new to setting up and sharing my projects. I’m trying to locate the placement for three connectors on my Asus B450M-Pro motherboard. I’m unsure if it’s impossible or just not the right setup. Please help me out, and feel free to share photos of the connectors if you can.

The first connection uses SATA power from your power supply, while the second links to a 3-pin RGB header on your motherboard. For an ASUS board, you should find a white header missing a pin and connect it there. Note the third option that doesn't match the 4-pin setup and skip it.

Sadly, the only white headers available have four pins. It's unclear what choices would be with that setup... maybe connect an adapter or run all fans individually to the board one by one.

These connectors are designed for RGB only. You can find adapters that change 3-pin to 4-pin connectors, but I haven’t used one before and don’t know their reliability or where to purchase them.

You can simply remove the second and third plugs and insert the SATA cable. That should work perfectly! Thanks for your assistance. Appreciate it!
