So recently I upgraded my PC. With the upgrade I also bought a new case.

 

But I have one problem. I can't find any connector on my motherboard where I can put my fan in.

 

On my old case each fan got there own connector but with my new case all 4 fans are connected to a small board on the back which ends in 1 connector.

 

Anyone can help me with where to put this connector in?

Forgot to add the case and motherboard.

Thats an RGB connector, not the fan power/RPM/PWM header.

Ah but then I don't know what the power is because the only other connector I have is this One.

Thats an RGB daisy chain off your fan. Sounds like the old case likely used proprietary connectors on there stuff, so that may be a proprietary connector and not an RGB header as I first though. What was the old case you had?
