This is my first ever pc build, and I’m trying to connect the fans to the motherboard. The fans are what come with the Asus GT501 Mid-Tower case and I have a B550 Tomahawk. All of the front case fans connect to these two ends. I’m guessing one is for power and the other for rgb. One of them says “TKG” on it. My motherboard doesn’t have anything to plug these into, and I’m not sure what to do. Any help?

One is MOLEX the other is a SATA connector. Both should connect to the power supply. You need to connect only one for power. I am guessing that they are connected to the hub which you plugged all your fans. Those are controlled by the case not the motherboard.

Okay, thank you. Also, the fans daisy chain into just one connector each at the end that are just regular 4 pin fan and rgb connectors. If I were to plug those directly into the motherboard would it mess everything up or not? I’m worried if daisy chaining them will make the header require more voltage or not.
