How do you connect aio fans?

[PolishGod]

I don’t remember how you connect these deepcool ls720 wh fans, there’s only 1 cpufanslot on my motherboard and I connected all these fans to that slot before, I have these three cables on each fan, do I plug them like on the second picture?

Yeah for the Daisy chained RGB you, well, daisy chain them then plug it into a 3 pin rgb port in your motherboard, the fans themselves then should either; daisy chain power, need to be plugged in seperately either to the motherboard or a splitter, or come with a small fan hub

I remember unplugging a white cable from the cpu_fan, that should’ve came from a fan, I don’t think there’s a fanhub.

Yeah the 4 pin will be fan power, is there one of these per fan though, (in the image below the middle one touching your thumb)

 

The 3 pin ones are for RGB

Then how did I connect all these fans to the cpu?

Are there 3 of the 4 pin fan headers?

Do you mean any three fanheaders on the motherboard?

You can do that too, but on the AIO fans themselves, does each of them have a 4 pin?

Can I? Will they blow the appropriate amount of air when the cpu gets hot? Each fan has a 4 pin female, 3 pin male and 3 pin female.

Yeah, thats perfect then, you can get a 3 way fan splitter if you dont want to take up too many of the headers but you can control the fans no matter what.

 

Plug all 3 of the 4 pin female into the motherboard headers and fans should spin, then plug one of the female 3 pins into the motherboard and the other fans female 3 pins into the previous fans male 3 pin for rgb

But don't I want all the fans to be connected to the CPU_FAN?

No, tis fine, theres no difference between fan headers other than some motherboards wont run if theres nothing plugged into cpu_fan. Other than this fact, theyre functionally identical

They are? Now that sounds intentionally misleading, but I'll plug two fans into normal headers and the bottom one into the CPU_FAN.
