What case do you have? Can you take a picture of what you’re working with?

vast dust
#

(which I would love to get help with)

#

The case itself is an phanteks XT pro

#

And the mobo is a eagle ax

#

There should be several 4 pin fan headers on the bottom, side, or top right labeled something to the effect of “cha_fan_#” that you can plug it into. Any will work. Avoid cpu/cpu_opt

vast dust
#

(the back one, aka the one that came with the case, is using it)

I also noticed it has this connector, am I supposed to connect it to this instead or.?

Theres an ARGB V2/V3

#

F-USB and so on

#

SYS fans and so on are at the top

#

@vast dust you have at least 1 header here

Wait are daisy chains possible?

#

(however, the case fan has no rgb so idk)

dusty frost
#

No. Fan headers can only power a certain number of fans and they are all forced to the same speed. So you can daisychain some but intake/exhaust should be separate

#

Anyway, I have to go now but I’ll check back later

vast dust
#

(these are both- okay take care!)

dusty frost
#

A 3rd is probably between the cpu and the io cover/vrm heatsink

#

Here are the 3 locations

I actually got everything to work!

#

I used daisychain anyways, it works fine and I checked a few sources

dusty frost
#

Yeah it will work, at least to a point

#

the main thing is how you want to control them
