My friend’s new build

[5ang]

Hello. So I’m building my friend’s PC. Sadly I’ve never built with cases with integrated RGB. So the case she chose is an NZXT H510i with an ASUS PRIME Z390-A motherboard. I was wondering where I plug the case's RGB connectors to? Also, the NZXT H510i case has a USB-C on the front panel and I was wondering where I plug that connector to. The connector comes with the case, but I don’t know where to plug that onto the motherboard. Also, the motherboard comes with 2 NVMe SSD slots. The 1st which is closest to the CPU, and the 2nd one which is on the bottom of the motherboard. I read somewhere that if I use the 1st one, one of the SATA ports won’t work? She wants to use an NVMe SSD, SATA SSD, and a hard drive. Thoughts?

 

Case: NZXT H510i

Motherboard: ASUS PRIME Z390-A

This motherboard?  https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/PRIME-Z390-A/

I believe the usbC connector might be 15

 

its not unusual for nvme slots to turn off sata ports if used. It’s a factor of how the chipset works

From the sound of things only two ports area actually needed.  It’s pretty unusual to come even close to needing all the sata ports these days so simply figuring out which ports might be turned off and avoiding them saves future problems.  I personally don’t think nvme has any useful advantage over a sata SSD atm.  That could change though.

Did oyu buy that case yet? If no then do not. That is really bad case for the price. Bad airflow. There are better cases liek p500A,  P400A that cost less and beat the h510I by miles.
