You're unsure about connecting your CPU cooler to your motherboard. It seems the cooler uses a 3-pin 12V connector, while your motherboard has a 4-pin RGB header. You might need an adapter to match the pin configuration or use a different cooler that fits your setup.

Are you certain the voltage is 12v? A 3-pin RGB connector typically operates at 5v, which might not be safe. Physically it could damage the component. It seems the board also has a 3-pin 5v ARGB header. Updated July 25, 2020 by TofuHaroto

At 19:15 he mentioned that. The display isn't RGB, it's just one white LED.

Do you have an adapter ready for use?

The video confirms compatibility with a PWM header. You can simply connect it to a pump header if needed. It functions identically to a CPU fan header.
