Ok, I've been out of the component side of things for a while now, but i think its time for me to upgrade the cooling and fans in my Rig. So turning to you lovely lot with way up to date knowledge

The case I've got, can fit 3 120's in front, 1 rear direct inline with the CPU cooler, 2 top could also fit a rad up there i believe. Currently only have 2 total, 1 front and 1 back, elcheapo uphere rgb 120s with their own little control box that's tied to the reset switch, for colour modes.

Same with the CPU cooler, its an uphere AM4 cooler, with 2 120mm rgb fans (push-pull), not the best but idles at 31 loads at 58c ish

So basically I'm after more RGB fans but with the ability to hook them to my M/B and have it all controlled via that for speed as well as colour, as i don't have speed control at present.
I understand there is different types of RGB, like aRGB and all that, but i think i got standard RGB headers nothing fancy i think.

CPU- Ryzen 5 1600x (i know its old)
M/B-GA-AB350-Gaming 3
If you can help it would be most appreciated.
 
Either or on the cooler side of things, and yes im thinking of upgrading and keeping with the Ryzen family, i know it will need a board and cpu combo - AIO is probably best as it will be more silent.

As for the fans, from searching around on my board i cant plug in aRGB fans as they are 5v? where as my board is 12v headers and only RGB, so another controller job similar to what ive got with the cheap uphere fans ive got now.
