Do I need to connect the NZXT H510i case to a 5v rgb header?

I was looking at getting a NZXT case because of how sleek the red design looks and saw the H510i varient came with leds installed. They reffer to them as addressable leds so for on thing, are these argb? Then I also want to know how the fans and leds connect to the MoBo. Will I need a rgb header or is it usb, and does it all connect to the included Smart Device V2?

As far as I remember the lighting is controlled with the NZXT Cam software and the Smart Device V2 is connected to the systen via an internal USB 2.0 header.

Please mention or quote me if you want a response. :)

NZXT's lighting ecosystem is proprietary to NZXT. You need to use their cam software and hardware control it. To the best of my knowledge,this means you cannot use the 5V ARGB header on any motherboard.

So it plugs in via usb header?

Yes the H510i will come with a "smart hub" which will plug into your motherboard via USB 2.0 motherboard headers, and your NZXT fans and lights will plug into that controller.
