hello there ! just got gifted a pure base 500 so i thought it would be smart to get a AIO to make it look fancier than with my wraith stealth ... just forgot my b450 bs3h does not have a pump header or anything like that and.... only one sys fan... so i know they kindly grant you with a fan splitter in the coolermaster masterliquid ML240L but... not sure how i gotta hook it... can somebody explain me how the hell i am gonna connect these ? not sure at all (got a deepcool fanhub btw if it's important to know ... yeah one sysfan is a hell of a knightmare but when you are poor ...)

Then why even consider buying a aio if money is tight.. (besides making it look fancier)

The 2 fan headers on your board are enough to power and control the AIO pump and radiator fans (fans used the splitter). If you have more case fans, then you'll need to use the HUB you mentioned. To use the HUB, you usually plug the HUB into your CPU header on the board, then power the HUB with whatever power it's designed to accept (usually SATA or molex).

Your board also has a RGB header, according to the manual, but it's unclear if you have the RGB model of the ML240L? If not, then you're golden. Otherwise, RTFM (in either scenario) because they have some handy wiring guides. Here's the wiring guide for the RGB variant, but if you don't have RGB you can ignore the O, N, P connections below:
