Hello, I bought a DeepCool CC360 ARGB case but haven’t managed to connect the fans properly. I’m confused about what I’m doing wrong. I don’t see a fan plug in the back and I’m not sure which connector to use. My exact mainboard model is listed here: https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-b450m-ds...6813145164
You connect fans to the motherboard. The headers in a PC case act like fan hubs—just an extension or splitter. It’s unclear if your case includes a fan hub; the manual doesn’t mention it. Your motherboard only has two fan headers: one for the CPU cooler and another for the system fan, which is marked with a blue rectangle. If you need more headers, consider a powered fan hub—affordable options are available unless you go for premium brands. Edited September 1, 2024 by Poinkachu
It seems the issue only became apparent recently, though I saw the instructions before. They suggested connecting them to sys_fan, which is now functioning. However, because the main wires run through my AIO CPU block, I’ll definitely need to get extensions.
