So i am upgrading my outdated gaming pc. I am struggling to get the following figured out. I bought the Corsair 3500x pc case, to get good airflow in my case I went with 6 Corsair RS120 ARGB fans and with the Corsair nautulis RS360 ARGB AIO.

 

Now I didn’t think about the fact that it might be hard to get all these fans and the AIO to work with my current outdated gaming pc. I need to connect everything to my Asus prime H610M-k D4 motherboard. I only have 2 PWM headers and a RGB header (not ARGB). Also I can’t figure out if I need a pump header and if my AIO including fans can get powered by just 1 fan header.

 

How can I get everything to work with my current MOBO or should I get a new MOBO instead? Ideally I don’t want to spend too much money here because of the fact I bought the new case, fans AIO and I’m planning on getting a new GPU.
 

Extra information:

- CPU: i5 12400f

- GPU: RTX 2060 (planning to get the RTX4070 or RX 9070 XT)

- PSU: A550BN 550W (planning to upgrade based on GPU requirements).

So from my understanding using a fan hub will have all fans go on max speed all the time? Also, does this solve my issue with ARGB connection.

 

if you could help me with names or links to these hubs I would really feel helped.
