Hello, your recent purchase of the ASUS Prime B460M-K motherboard seems to have come with four ARGB fans for good airflow. However, you're wondering if these fans are compatible with your current setup. The manual mentions PWM control, but it doesn't specify fan types or configurations. I found a Hyper 212 RGB 4-pin CPU cooler in the details, which might be useful. If you need guidance on matching fans to your board, feel free to ask!

You can purchase a 4-fan header splitter and link them together in the suggested arrangement.

Are you sure you can link them to your PSU? It just came to mind.

It's also possible but not ideal since you won't manage the fan speeds. I suggest using a PWM Splitter header for all your fans so you can control them collectively. This way, even though they run at the same speed, you'll have better management than with individual fans.

No worries, most of the answers focused on chassis fans, which should help you link the CPU fan easily. You can split the four chassis fans using a splitter, and this should clarify things better.
