Their RGB system is not inter-compatible. You have to use Lianli hub (included in the box if you buy the three pack) to adapt it to the standard 4 pin RGB header or USB 2.0, and for NZXT Kraken you need to use the USB header on the pump and connect it to a spare USB 2.0 header.

 

As for the fan controls and power, the pump use 12V while the fans use PWM. connect the pump header to CPU_FAN or CPU_PUMP or whatever the Watercooling Pump header is named. After that, plug the AL120 fan header to CHA_FAN header, you'll need to adapt it to the hub.

 

If you bought the AL120 fans individually then you need to use the breakout cables that are in the box to adapt it for PWM and RGB. From there youll need to buy RGB and fan splitters, to merge both to one. Though my experience with RGB splitters are mixed bag.

That's why I hate those nice and expensive proprietary Corsair/NZXT/LIanLI fans and AIO, they're incompatible and you need as many hubs and softwares than brands you use

If you add to that the also proprietary RGB stuff from Asus, MSI etc you end up with a bloated mess, most of them being malware level of access

So I only get stuff plugged on the board (PWM/aRGB) headers (Arctic, Noctua, BQ..) and manage fan curves with FanControl and RGB with  OpenRGB 🙂 , I've installed 0 branded malware
