Hi I am currently building my gaming PC. I'm almost done but I couldn't find one cables slot. 

I use Msi Forge 100R and B450m Mortar MAX , case has ARGB fans and a controller at the back but controller's output cable doesn't fit anywhere on the board. Doesn't Mortar support ARGB ?

This cable should go to motherboard, pins you mentioned are for fans I already connected the fans, cable I showed is ARGB controllers output 

The picture is to bad to really see, but im about 95% sure the connector i pointed at on motherboard is aRGB connector (output). 😉

 

 

And according to the manual (ALWAYS RTFM) they are here:

The thing you points is ARGB controller, which is at the back of the case. Sorry for the photo quality my hand shaked I think

Yeah my bad i only just realized that.

You might need adapter cables to make them fit, but its as easy as putting right cable to right spot and there are only 3. 😉

Documentation on this case is scarce, luckily someone showed the needed manual page in their review:

As we can see here, the case needs a JRAINBOW connector, which the Mortar B450M MAX does not have.

In this scenario, you can only use the LED switch on the front of the case.

They would fit, in the same way this fits:

This hub in the case is only acting like a 'splitter' for the RGB fans, but the needed connector is not on the motherboard.

There is a JRGB on the board but it has 4 pin, all of them has metal thing, probably I need an adapter.

I'm closing the case then, I will order a cable later thanks
