In the G connector I only found the power switch, reset, and LED power +/- wires. The HD, speaker, and chassis intrusion header wires aren’t present. I’m wondering where the remaining wires are since it seems the connector needs all those connections to be complete.

The G connector simplifies the setup process. When you lack these connectors, they stay empty. Connect the wires to the G connector and then insert it into the board's FP pins.

Hey, I see what you're asking about. The 3-pin fan connector is a bit tricky with your Corsair RGB fans. You have three fans on top, three in front, one back, and another at the bottom. All are connected through the hub, but the rear fan with the 3-pin isn't clear. You tried plugging it into the 4-pin LED connector on the motherboard, which is a common workaround. If you're still unsure, double-check the fan's manual or look up the specific model for exact placement guidance.

They'll take the other person's turn. I prefer CFM over RGB.

No, I haven't checked that yet. Could you confirm if you've connected all the chassis fan connectors on your motherboard?

I linked every fan in my Corsair hub but now I have a back case fan with its connector dangling, man. I don’t know how to attach that 3-pin connector since I plugged it into a 4-pin LED connector on the motherboard.

Make sure the motherboard includes chassis fan connectors. Check if they’re all functional. If missing, connect it properly.

Consider an alternative explanation for the issue. The CPU cooler might be using the RAM slots labeled B1 and B2.
