I'm building my first PC and just installed a 360mm Liquid AIO cooler, specifically the THERMALRIGHT FROZEN NOTTE 360mm ARGB. The problem is that the fan cables are a mess and I'm unsure how to organize and connect them. I see three sets of different plugs, and I'm confused about how to connect the fans to the PWM connector. Also, I need guidance on where to plug them into my GIGABYTE B850 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 motherboard to ensure everything works properly. Any help would be appreciated!

Your AIO cooler should include a 3-to-1 cable to connect all the fan cables together. You’ll use it to plug into the CPU fan header on your motherboard. As for the ARGB cables, those have 3 pins each and can also be daisy chained. The final cable from your ARGB setup should connect to the 5V 3-pin ARGB header on your motherboard.
If you're struggling to plug the cables in properly, make sure you’re aligning the pins correctly; they can be a bit tricky with different connectors. Sometimes, gently adjusting the orientation helps. Also, double-check that you're trying to plug the cables into the right headers on your motherboard.
