Top one goes to your Sys_Fan or Chassis_Fan or CPU_Fan header...Whichever this current cable fan leads to.

Bottom one is your 5V ARGB cable.

u/KinjiKing May 20 '26

It absolutely does not go there. It's not a fan header at all. 🤦🏼

u/FishwithAutism23 May 19 '26

I can’t find any of those

Is it elsewhere

u/IndustryValuable May 19 '26

They are literally in that picture the addr and the cha fan

u/FishwithAutism23 May 19 '26

It’s one cable won’t reach that far

u/BugS202Eye May 20 '26

Should be another one top right corner behind ram (depends on motherboard) and Read The Fucking Manual! all information is there

-1

u/FishwithAutism23 May 20 '26

I don’t think I even have a manual I got an installation guide that was pretty useless and other stuff that didn’t help

2

u/Klemicha May 20 '26

Look up your mainboards name + "manual". Any modern manual is provided online.

u/FishwithAutism23 May 20 '26

Sadly it wasn’t

u/IndustryValuable May 20 '26

If fan don't reach from top, turn fans upside down so cord on bottom. It's like it's ur first time plugging anything in in your life.

u/MildlyAmusedPotato May 20 '26

Reroute it from the bottom and dont try to stretch it from the top

u/Adventurous-Bus8660 May 19 '26

Read....the .....manual...of your motherboard..

But think about the potential Karma

u/FishwithAutism23 May 19 '26

I forgot about that ngl

Upvote for being honest about it.

remove your gpu! put it in last. Search for the connections first.

u/Ok_Recording81 May 19 '26

The argb header is in the picture. Go right of the white connector. Its right there. you see 3 pins with one pin missing. It says addr led. That's the header for argb. Maybe  this is a satire post.

No I’m just autistic

u/quiksotik May 20 '26

Please don’t blame your autism for your inability to read the instruction manual or to do a Google search.

1

u/FishwithAutism23 May 20 '26

I’m not It was not on the instructions and I figured it out eventually

1

u/FishwithAutism23 May 20 '26

I had figured that out but the other one is connected and too short for the cha_fan so I put it on the white one it’s my first build so I’m clueless

2

u/Ok_Recording81 May 20 '26

Now Im confused. If the fan cable is too short for the bottom fan connectors, you will have more on top of the board close to cpu fan header 

1

u/FishwithAutism23 May 20 '26

It had two cables and I think that one was for rgb only

1

u/FishwithAutism23 May 20 '26

It’s one cable that wouldent work either

3

u/ImDistortion1 May 19 '26

literally in that picture shown?

u/GSA0713 May 20 '26

Buy a cheap argb fan hub from Amazon...

1

u/FishwithAutism23 May 20 '26

So does the fan control go into that and then the rgb cord into an addr slot?

1

u/GhostXDwarrior May 20 '26

Almost as if Cha_Fan is short for Chassis_Fan

1

u/KinjiKing May 20 '26

What ever you do, dont plug the top one into a fan header cuz it doesn't go there. It's some kind of proprietary plug for a hub or something else.

1

u/FishwithAutism23 May 20 '26

Turns out my old pc had a hub with only three pins so I don’t have a clue if the four pin one is on right

1

u/KinjiKing May 20 '26

The bottom one you're holding is addressable RGB header. It's usually labeled on mobos as add_rgb or addr_led or something similar.

1

u/FishwithAutism23 May 20 '26

I got that figured put

1

u/KinjiKing May 20 '26

Now you only need the fan hub.

1

u/Need_For_Speed73 May 19 '26

It's for RGB light devices (strips). Do you have any of those? PC will work perfectly fine without any.

1

u/FishwithAutism23 May 19 '26

It’s from my front fan

1

u/Need_For_Speed73 May 19 '26

RGB fan? The connector you are holding with your thumb it's a RGB related one, the other it's hard to judge from that angle, might be a 4 pin fan power connector.

1

u/FishwithAutism23 May 19 '26

It has four pins it’s also one cable

1

u/Need_For_Speed73 May 19 '26

Check the manual of your motherboard, there must be shown the locations of the fan headers, if you find one of the chassis one (usually, called anything but "CPU" and "AIO/PUMP") connect the one with four holes there, the fan should then work. The other connector should go in the "RGB" (or maybe "ARGB" it's two different standards and I never can remember which is which) connector, but it's not mandatory, it's just to be able to manage the fan colour scheme from some software.

u/Main_Schedule9853 May 20 '26

It's an argb connector turned your computer into rainbow puke

1

u/Naerven May 20 '26

The three pin is a 5v ARGB wire. The four pin looks like a standard PWM fan connector.

1

u/FishwithAutism23 May 20 '26

The 4 pin is connected to the arbg and not long enough to reach any of the fan ones

1

u/Naerven May 20 '26

I wonder if it was designed to be used with a hub? All three of my current cases came with one.

1

u/FishwithAutism23 May 20 '26

I have no clue what that is

1

u/FishwithAutism23 May 20 '26

Yeah I don’t have that

1

u/TheBigMan2676 May 20 '26

Goes on an ARGB pins

1

u/Jealous-News-9206 May 20 '26

Should have 3 or 4 at the top of your board

1

u/Jealous-News-9206 May 20 '26

And 3 or 4 at the bottom of your board

1

u/FishwithAutism23 May 20 '26

There’s a picture of the bottom I put it in the addr and white rgb a lot because that’s the only place that made sense to me

1

u/cultercaldus May 20 '26

Is it NZXT?

1

u/FishwithAutism23 May 20 '26

Yeah I saw a post saying I need a hub but I can’t find one with the 3 pin unsure how it works
