Hello Everyone, I need assistance with two problems I'm encountering.
1. The GPU arrived late due to limited availability, and it has an LED strip on it. My motherboard is an MSI B650 with Gaming +Wi-Fi, which has used up all its slots for the front case fans and the three AIO fans. If the motherboard no longer has a 3-pin ARGB header, what can be done about this?
2. My monitor takes 1 to 2 minutes to load and doesn<|pad|>, during which it shows the Windows home screen instead of the startup or BIOS screen. It also keeps the CPU and DRAM LEDs on continuously. I ran a memory test and found no issues, but the problem persists. The RAM model listed is 16x2GB G.SKILL Trident, a Ryzen 5 7600X with updated BIOS. Everything works normally afterward, but I’d like to fix it just in case it could cause any issues.
Thank you in advance for your help. It’s been nearly 10 years since I built this PC, and the build time was long mainly because of the first AIO liquid cooler.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
GPU arrived late due to stock issues, and I just spotted that it includes an LED strip.
Before connecting anything, you might want to share a link to this GPU.
You can explore an ARGB hub similar to this:
MasterFan ARGB and PWM HUB
The latest MasterFan ARGB and PWM HUB supports connecting up to six sets of Addressable RGB (3-pin) headers and PWM headers at once. This boosts cooling options and enhances overall system performance. Its compact design lets you manage PWM ARGB fans more efficiently.

or this option:
https://www.deepcool.com/products/Access...6141.shtml
I also mentioned a PWM fan paired with an ARGB hub to simplify wire management. Standalone ARGB hubs are available if you only need the ARGB functionality.
If you're just seeking an ARGB hub, there are alternatives to consider...

Welcome to the forums, newcomer! The GPU arrived late due to stock issues, and I just observed it has an LED strip built in. It might be wise to share a link before you connect anything to or from the GPU.

You can explore an ARGB hub similar to this:
MasterFan ARGB and PWM HUB
This new model supports up to 6 sets of Addressable RGB (3-pin) and PWM headers at the same time. It boosts cooling options and enhances overall system performance. Its compact design lets you manage PWM ARGB fans more easily.
www.coolermaster.com
or this one:
https://www.deepcool.com/products/Access...6141.shtml

If you prefer a standalone ARGB hub without the PWM section, consider this:
https://www.deepcool.com/products/A...-1...6038.shtml

For ARGB hubs in general, you can check:

A video that might help: https://youtu.be/kqeLNaDph5M

Please note, I’ve compiled all your ARGB devices and links to assist you better.

Thank you very much. I will create a new thread for the monitor delay, GPU component, and PC details as requested.
