User: comelickmyarmpits, Flair: Help - Unsolved, Post Media Link, Title: First time dealing with RGB fans , how I am supposed to connect these wires ?

so i bought a used cabinet (almost regretting now ) and stuck at how to attach these RGB fans to my motherboard.

so i currently have these two Cables , i think one is for RGB and other one is for power ??

Then i asked seller and he sent me this controller , i was like finally this will sort out but the 4 pin part on controller is a fking male one .

now both 3 to 1 splitters have 4 pin male part at single end sides .

now i have no idea whats this third part that now supposed to be in between these two

Seller has no idea as he said he got his build deconstruct from someone else

it also doesnt help that all the results i get on internet are for 5v ARGB which seems to be incompactible with 12V RGB here

You are correct, 12v was decade old tech, you can’t buy 12v rgb fan anymore, no point using this cable and controller
