My CM COSMOS 700P case came with factory fans and a RGB/Fan controller. I have not been able to figure out how to connect the supplied 4-pin RGB connector to my Z790 Dark MB. The RGB connector is a single 4-pin female connector and right now with no place to properly fit. The supplied CM 'Master fan Control Panel' already had the case RGB Lighting installed, out of the box. Then, the only two remaining connectors coming out of the fan control box is the SATA socket connected to the PSU and THE RGB single 4-pin female connector as described on the fan control Box as RGB-In. This feed connector in my mind needs to be connected to the MB somewhere? FYI: I am not inclined in operating any of my (non RGB) regular case fans with the controller and will be using the MB instead. With this the fan controller will only be responsible for the RGB surround case lighting. Thoughts anyone?

    4 pin has pretty much been replaced by ARGB/DRGB, which is a 3 pin. You may need to find an external RGB connector to be able to use the old style connections.

    Page 14 and 15, #33, ARGB LED controller. The dark can not connect to the header properly.

    Your best bet is likely to pick up a Aquacomputer Farbwerk360, and a few extra led strips from aqua computer, and install them into the case. The farbwerk360 can connect to USB and control all of the lighting as well as daisy chain. I loved my Farbwerk 360, although it did take me a little bit of time to get use to it.
