I'm curious if every motherboard out there has ARGB connectors. And if they don't, are there alternative places to plug in an ARGB connector?

True, many modern motherboards include ARGB connections, but also keep an eye out for cases that come with their own RGB controllers. You could use a case's controller alongside your motherboard's software for more options.
Nope, it’s not a given. If your motherboard doesn’t have ARGB connectors, you can buy a separate USB ARGB controller. Brands like Razer offer them, so you'll have alternatives to get your lights going!
Most motherboards made in the last few years come with ARGB connectors, but that's not a universal rule. It's definitely something to check before buying if you're planning on using RGB components.
Not all motherboards come with ARGB connectors. For instance, my B450 motherboard only has a 12v RGB header, which isn't compatible with the newer 5v ARGB systems. If your board lacks support, consider getting a USB-based fan hub for your RGB needs.
