What are you having trouble with?

The wiring, I believe.

 

That's 6 fans in total, all with RGB and fan headers, as well as another of each for the pump. That's 14 wires in total, so I can understand the confusion.

 

The RGB cables have the larger plug on them, and three or 4 pins. Molded in to them is also an arrow, you will want to line up the arrows when plugging them in to the controller. Between the 2 cables is a male-male adapter, which has gold pins on each side. Use that to join them. You may not have enough RGB headers on your motherboard and controller, in which case you should buy something like a Corsair Commander Pro.

 

As for the fan headers, they plug in to the keyed 3 pin headers on your motherboard. The only one that matters is the water cooler pump, which has a special header on the board that outputs more power. It is labeled, and near the socket. Plug your pump in to this. You CAN use it as a normal fan header, but there is no reason to.

Brands I wholeheartedly reccomend (though do have flawed products): Apple, Razer, Corsair, Asus, Gigabyte, bequiet!, Noctua, Fractal, GSkill (RAM only)
