Hey everyone! I recently got a Cooler Master water cooler (240L Core ARGB) and I've been having a tough time connecting the 5V ARGB cable to my motherboard. My motherboard is a Gigabyte Aorus Ultra Gaming 2.0, and it does have a 5V connector, but for some reason, I just can't seem to get it to fit. Am I missing something here?

It sounds like you might be trying to connect to the wrong pins. The vertical connector with a blank pin is typically where the 5V ARGB should go, so ensure you're not forcing it into a different slot. If it still won’t go in, examining the manual closely might help clarify where the ARGB header is located.
Make sure to check your motherboard's manual for the right connector pin layout. Sometimes the 5V ARGB connector looks similar to other connectors, so double-check you're aiming for the right one. The 3 horizontal pins in a row are common, but there are also vertical pins nearby that might be the right fit. Just give it another look!
