Help rgb sucks

Where do I plug this in

Yes.  Yes it does.
 

 The problem with modern rgb is there’s all kinds of proprietary systems made by each manufacturer that are specifically designed to not work with each other even though they use the same dang bulbs.  Tried not buying a controller from one company because theirs was clearly overpriced? Too bad. The companies overpriced it on purpose while making their fans a good deal for exactly that reason.  They know no one can use the fans without the controller.   that looks vaguely like an argb plug which may be less proprietary that most systems. It might go into an argb connector unless it doesn’t.

The problem is these RGB fans  are pre-installed

Get an rgb fan instead of argb

From my experiece the rgb fans dont come with those plugs, only thing is you cant change the colours

There is rgb,argb, and lighted.  Are you talking about merely lighted fans? With a lighted fan there is only one color of bulb, no second cable, and there is basically no control.  The light goes on when the fan spins and can’t be changed in any way, except maybe by painting the bulbs, which people have actually done.  I don’t recommend it myself. Color is weird and a lot of paints can’t take heat.  Research on the right paint would be required.  An rgb fan can have its color adjusted because it’s kind of a 3 color lighted fan but where the power of the 3 lights can be controlled to make various colors. I’m not sure exactly what the difference is between an argb and rgb fan is other than rgb is 12v and argb is 5.5(?). They apparently have more control.  Both can do unicorn poop.  Argb might be able to do pulsing unicorn poop too.  Not sure.  A lighted fan can’t do unicorn poop unless it was set up that way and then could only do that particular unicorn poop and nothing else.

Lol.  Of course they are. There is no controller for them I take it that was also preinstalled? Then You have a choice between uninstalling them, and throwing them away or buying the parts they are compatible with.  One of those parts will probably be very expensive for what it is.  If there is no adaptor then They sold a case that they sold a case as ATX that actually wasn’t.  RGB and argb aren’t part of atx
