Pin 1 is your reference point with any motherboard jumper-pin layout. The first diagram should always show how the header is physically oriented on the board itself. (The pin layout / definition is just in case you need to re-wire the attaching connector)

So the bottom diagram shows Pin1 as being the 12v pin. The top diagram shows Pin1 at the bottom, so on your motherboard itself, the 12v pin should be at the bottom.
Looking at pictures of that motherboard itself, the header is located just below & to the left of the CPU socket, and is directly right of the audio jacks. . There's a 4pin PWM fan header just above it. And based on this diagram, Pin1 is the bottom pin, farthest away from the FAN header. 

 

And yes you're right - based on the picture Newegg has of that motherboard, Pin1 is not labeled on the board itself.

Help, I can't locate the 12 volt pin of the led strip header of my motherboard since there is no indication where it is located, I tried to look at the manual, it confuses me more. Does the 12v starts at the bottom? or top?

LED_CPU, it's located at the bottom left corner of the CPU socket. It's not an addresable RGB header.

If you look at the picture, the 12V (1) is located at the bottom of the connector.

Main System: Ryzen 2700, Asus Crosshair VII Hero, EVGA GTX 1080ti SC, 970 EVO Plus NVMe, Crucial Ballistix 3200mhz CL14, CM H500, CM ML240L cpu cooler.

Second System: Ryzen 2400G, Gigabyte B450 DS3H, RX 580 Nitro+, Kingston A400 SSD, Team T-Force 3200mhz CL15

If it ain't overclocked it ain't good...

Thank you so much, now I can insert it without any doubts.
