My son got a new fan for Christmas. The above. We are trying to fit it now. It all seems completely compatible except for the rga plug. The fan has a 3 pin slot and requires 5v and the pins on the board rga is 12v and has 4 pins. Is there an adaptor I can buy to get this working? Please help. Struggling to find a solution. Many thanks in advance.

The 4 pin needs to go to the CPU fan header marked on the motherboard to make the fan spin.

The 3 pin needs to go to a 3 pin ARGB header on the motherboard, what motherboard does he have ?

the cooler spec says "Addressable RGB" so it should be a 3pin,
what motherboard dose the boy have?

There isn't a 3pin argb. It is b460m-a. It has a 12v rgb header 1. I know its just for the lights but is there a way of getting an adaptor.

no there is no adaptor but you can get a jonsbo argb plug for £5er I’ve used a few in builds they work good
