Where do I put the LED/RGB SW in my mobo?

The LED/RGB SW is for the front panel RGB ON/OFF button. It's not connected so I can't turn off the LEDs of the case fans.RDT_20240127_1033441048002714310198238.jpg

Does your motherboard (which one is it?) have switchable RGB effects? I assume it doesn't and the switch isn't needed. Check its manual to make sure.

Usually those types of switches are to be wired to RGB hubs rather than the motherboard itself. If you don't have an RGB hub or just want to use software control for anything RGB in your system, you have two options: connect it to the clear CMOS header if you're doing anything overclocking related (unlikely) or just leave it unplugged.

As I said: If your motherboard doesn't have RGB you can turn on/off, that switch is useless for it. And since you haven't told us the motherboard model, which is what my question referred to, there's no way for us to confirm.

 

As @RONOTHAN## said, if you have an RGB hub, the switch likely can be connected to that one.

Then you'll have to connect it to whatever is controlling the RGB on those fans, assuming they are designed to be switchable
