You're having trouble assembling your PC and need assistance with cables.
You're having trouble assembling your PC and need assistance with cables.
Let me help you figure out the best path for those cables. Could you share more details about their location and purpose?
The correct setup involves connecting the SATA power from your power supply (the same cable used for hard drives, 2.5" SSDs, optical drives, etc.) to a cable with several connectors. The left side has RGB lighting, but to determine the proper connection point, you need to know your motherboard and the case you're using.
the left side is a 3-pin ARGB 5v unit meant for RGB use, just don't connect it to the 4-pin header. the other seems like a SATA power adapter, though i'm uncertain due to the angle in the photo, so maybe i'm mistaken.
It appears the motherboard features a 4-pin RGB connector, not a 3-pin one. The cross-compatibility claim is incorrect.
You can obtain an RGB controller that fits a 4-pin, 12V connection.
The SATA connector fits into your power supply unit. It provides electricity to devices like a fan controller or fans mounted inside the case. The RGB connector likely powers the RGB lights on your fans or LED strips on the case. You might keep it unplugged now, as the LEDs won’t turn on. In the future, you could purchase a fan controller that supports this connector (such as digital RGB 5V) and use it.
