Where do I plug these in?

[StoryVFX]

Where do these connectors go? I'm assuming somewhere on the mobo but idk where, it's corsair h100x aio and I'm using asus rog strix b650a

The one with 3 holes goes to motherboard CPU fan header
The other one goes to Corsair hub, or if they did provide you with a converter cable, to converter cable then to motherboard ARGB header.

Is that an H100x or an H100x RGB Elite? Either way the manual covers it.

Thats a H100x RGB Elite based on the looks of the pump enclosure.

I have 2 one says cpu fan and other is aio pump but both are 4 pins ? Should I plug both cables there ?

Reread what I posted above

Also, just in case you're going to ask

Where does this plug in on the mobo? And what does it mean by tach cabel? Is it the one with 3 or 4 pins? 

[StoryVFX]

And I'm confused the cpu fan header has 4 pins on my mobo and the cabel on the aio only has 3 pins

Yeah bro the 3 pin connector from the aio dosnt go in the cpu fan header marked as C on the pic

Thats normal. Back in the day 3 pin fans were most common. 4pin fans came later. They are intercompatible. There is a latch to prevent you from plugging them in the wrong way.

 

The 3 pin you have is for your aio pump as this h100x is a older model using a simpler pump.

 

The other headers is for rgb. Did you get a rgb hub with your cooler or not?

The cable in the pic you first posted, the one with only 3 holes and 3 wires. See that it says 3-pin in the manual.

The 3 wires are for : 12v, Ground, and Tachometer.

Because the pump doesn't need a PWM pin.

It does go in, just that it only has 3 holes instead of 4. Which is fine.

Refer to what @jaslion said about it for details.

Ah ok bro, so I should plug the 3 pin to the connector labeled A in the picture? It says AIO_Pump

Ok I see I just plugged it in the connector labeled A on the picture it's correct right? The one with 3 holes its connected to the AIO_PUMP header now is it correct?

Fine.

 

Connect 3pin pump connector to AIO_PUMP header

 

Connect the 4pin Corsair RGB connectors to the RGB adapter cable, then plug the motherboard's end of the adapter cable to Addressable Gen 2 Header on your motherboard. Refer to AIO manual picture to find out which one is the motherboard's end.

 

Connect all AIO fans 4pin PWM connectors to PWM Y-splitter cable, then connect the female end of the splitter cable to CPU_FAN header.

Or alternatively, don't use Y-splitter, connect 1 of the PWM connector to CPU_FAN, and the other fan's PWM connector to CPU_OPT
