PC Case Cable Help.

[BeadyRoller]

Hi guys, I'm building a PC for my cousin who has an RGB case (Lancool-II) and I've never dealt with RGB before so I'm unsure on where some of the cables are meant to be plugged in.

Motherboard used is a Gigabyte B550M DS3H mATx.

I've looked through the manual and watched YT videos but still not confident where they need to go. Heard some stories that if you plug RGB stuff in the wrong place it can ruin the board so a bit nervous

Here's the pictures of said cables:

Any help would be appreciated, cheers!

Thanks for the help Haz. Yeah I'm very confused by it all haha. All the cables shown are coming from the case itself which you were correct in saying is Lian Li.

So I can't just plug the first one in to one of the D_LED sockets in the motherboard?

Still a bit miffed about it, not gonna lie

Any further suggestions? No one seems to 100% know. Shall I just plug stuff in and hope for the best?

So an update on this. I've built the PC. PC itself is all good but the front panel RGB isn't working (suprise suprise)

Anyone else got this case and know where you connected the above cables I posted?

The bottom pic is a 4 pin. So unplug lead in pic 2 from the mother board and plug it in to pic 4?

Try plug the top pic in to the white empty socket in pic 4?

Hit confusing all this ain't it

Just found this:

Lian Li Lancool II Mesh RGB LED I/O connectors

So my case is the Lian Li Lancool II Mesh RGB. Below are 3 pics from the manual (pic1/2) and from the website (pic 3) regarding the I/O connectors for the fan lighting. When I built the computer I connected both the 5V ARGB header, and the SATA cable (circled in red in pic 1). However, now I am w...

Not my case but same connectors apart from the illusive top pic and same brand.

Thank you Haz!! It ended up that all I needed to do was connect the small white cable to the white socket in picture 4! Was that easy.

Sorted, cheers mate.
