I am looking to buy 2 RGB fans for my NZXT h510. My MOBO is an msi b460A pro. How can connect i connect RGB fans without an rgb header? Do i have to get fans that come with a controller?

you can just not plug in the rgb cable, but they wouldn't have rgb, which would defeat the purpose of getting the rgb fans.

I could use some help with this!

You can always just place the RGB cables in a daisy chain (I think??)

 

Of course I am OLD and I don't use RGB as much as my kids do.

He's asking to check what kind of controller you need... Because that is what you need if you don't have RGB header on mobo. And if you buy 3 fan kits, those come with small one included.
