Where does these I/O connectors go?

Kappawideharder

Where do these go? One says fan with 2 pin holes but mobo has 4 pin not 2 pin connector. And vdg dosent appear in case manual or mobo manual. the vdg cable and the one with it beside it both have 3 pin holes. Pls help. The mobo manual says “if u have a 3 pin fan hole Connector use mobo pin connector 1-3” dosent mention 2 hole one. Should i just connect the fan to mobo pin 1-2 connector? And i dont know where to put the vdg cables on mobo? Its not mentioned in manual.

The VDG cable connects to a 3-pin ARGB header.

Not all motherboards have these, but if you do, you should see a 4-pin array with one pin blocked out. Connect the other port to that.

For the FAN one, I'm not sure.

What motherboard do you have?

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.

I put the fan 2 hole cable on 4 pin fan mobo connector pin 1-2. didnt conmect any of the two vdg cables. Turned on pc and it booted up normally the fans are working and are displaying red color but wont change color prob because mobo dosent have vdg connector??

 

I found these pins in the mobo https://imgur.com/gallery/OVUBsR1 but the mobos manual doesn't mention it ? it has some writing below it says "UART1" the thing is I think it fits the cable on the second pic on my post above but I just don't know what those pin connectors are for in the mobo?

Your VDG cable looks like it only has 2 wires physically connected. To change colors, you need 3 wires. For the VDG LED's you might be able to control them with a separate 5V 3 pin RGB controller or connect them up to an Arduino with a neopixel sketch. But again, you need 3 wires. If your fans only have 2 wires on them for LED's, it might be Red LED Fan and not RGB Fan.
UART is Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter, which is a communication protocol that conveniently Arduino utilizes to read and write. It's hard to say for sure, but a 3-pin Motherboard UART1 would strike me as 5v, Transmit, ground. Which very well could be the header you're looking for, but I would do a little more research to be sure.
