Hello! I recently upgraded several parts of my system and chose a stylish case along with some fans for the new configuration. I went with the DarkFlash DK180 but ended up using the Aerocool Skribble model. I changed the case at the last minute because my new GPU wouldn’t fit in the DarkFlash chassis, but I kept the three ARGB fans (DR11 set) in order. After assembling about 80% of the components, I started setting up the ARGB LEDs and fans for the case and the DR11 unit. I connected the six-pin fans to the hub, but I’m still unsure how to link them to my motherboard (Asrock B450M Pro4-f 2.0). The manual suggests using a SATA cable for non-addressable RGB modules and a 4-pin connector for the PWM socket on my board. I don’t recognize the LED slot that looks ready, and I’m worried about damaging anything. Also, with the DarkFlash fans, I got a matching hub and remote—should I consider using that instead? I’ve attached some photos of the current build to help clarify. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. I’m happy to provide more details. Sorry if this seems a bit silly; I usually build PCs myself but have no prior experience with RGB setups.
