Powering NZXT LED strip

As the title says how? What cable do I need? I can see it's a 3 pin but what would I plug into it?

Which LED is it? You may need the LED controller, I'm not sure

The LED sleeves are molex and the Hue is SATA. The 3-pin connects to the provided PCI controller and 5.25" controller, respectively.

Can you plug it into a 3 pin fan header on your mobo?

No idea if you can with the NZXT leds. Might work (some other types do), just wouldn't be able to use brightness options on the sleeve, or the brightness and modes options on the Hue.

It has its own brightness settings and power switch it goes in an expansion slot in the case. It has 3 pins on it it doesn't connect to s 3 pin a 3 pin connects to it.
