Diagrams show radiator and fan mounting options at the front, top, and rear of the case.
Step 8: Connecting ARGB Components
Connect the ARGB fans and other ARGB components to the ARGB Hub (H) and ARGB Controller (G) using the provided cables (I).
Diagrams illustrate the connection of ARGB fans to the hub and controller, and the controller to the motherboard and power supply.
ARGB Controller Connections: The ARGB controller (G) can connect to various motherboard ARGB headers (e.g., 3-pin Gigabyte, 3-pin ASUS/MSI/ASROCK) and receives power via SATA from the PSU. Diagram shows the ARGB controller with connections for motherboard ARGB headers and SATA power.
Fan Connection: Connect the fans to the ARGB Hub (H) via the provided splitter cables (I). The hub connects to the ARGB controller. Diagram shows multiple fans connected to the ARGB hub, which then connects to the controller.
Step 9: Final Connections
Connect the ARGB controller (G) to the motherboard's 3-pin ARGB header (if applicable) and to the PSU via SATA power. Connect the reset switch to the controller if desired.
Diagram shows the ARGB controller connected to the motherboard and PSU, with an optional connection for the reset switch.
