If it's argb, then the cooler will have a little 3 pin plug you have to plug into your motherboard.

 

Whats the make/model of the cooler?

Nevermind it is DEEPCOOL GAMMAXX GT BK, CPU Air Cooler, SYNC RGB Fan and RGB Black Top Cover, Cable or Motherboard Control Supported, 4 Heatpipes, 120mm RGB Fan, Universal Socket Solution

Okay, that cooler appears to be regular RGB rather than ARGB.

It should come with a controller that you can use to control the lighting, or you can plug the 4 pin plug directly into the 12v RGB header on your mobo, and control it through the lighting software of your motherboard brand (Asus aura sync, MSI mystic light, etc)

Hmm did you buy it used?

It should come with a controller that is powered by sata.

If new, double check your packaging.

 

If you still can't find it, then locate a 4 pin 12v RGB header on your motherboard and plug the 4 pin female connector into it.

Hello VFern,

 

As @Tech87 mentioned, the Gammaxx GT models should come with an inline RGB controller; unless you have the GTE model that does not come with a controller. You would need to wire it to the 4pin RGB header on your motherboard (you can also do this with the GT model). If you need more in depth assistance, you can submit a support ticket at http://www.deepcool.com/support/index_ticket.shtml
