Hello everyone,
I’m planning to assemble a new mATX build and have selected the Jonsbo d30 case paired with a Ryzen 7 7800x3D and an ASRock B650M Pro RS WiFi AM5. I’ve got everything ready in my cart online.

As someone new to PC building, I’m trying to figure out how to connect the liquid cooler. I have the CoolerMaster 240mm model, which has two aRGB fans that link to the radiator. Should I connect the liquid cooler directly into the water pump fan headers, or would I need both the water pump headers and one of the aRGB headers for each fan on the radiator? Also, I want a rear case fan that’s also aRGB, plus additional 240mm fans at the bottom. There are three aRGB header pins listed in the manual, but since the water pump might need to use one, the rear fan would have to connect to a single header. The two radiator fans could each be connected to their own header, or would they all need to go through one?

I’m not sure how this will work and I’d appreciate any guidance so I can order everything correctly. Daisy chaining is an option I’m considering but it’s unclear if it’ll fit. Thanks for your help!

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
Which Coolermaster AIO are you asking about? Their manual explains how the ARGB/RGB parts must connect to your platform's motherboard or ARGB/RGB header. If not, you should use an in-line ARGB/RGB controller.
Keep in mind, ARGB and RGB follow different protocols.
We'll need details about your build, such as:
CPU
Cooler
Motherboard
RAM
SSD/HDD
GPU

My apologies. I've noted the specifications below. I'm checking if all five ARGB fans can be connected to the motherboard despite only having three RGB headers available. I might be mistaken on this point, though. My understanding of RGB/ARGB isn't very strong at the moment.
