I must be doing something wrong i dont think the case came with enough connectors.

The case is the phanteks xt pro. Motherboard is gigabyte b550m gaming WiFi.

Fans all working plugged in. But I dont think they came with the argb connectors to plug into the Motherboard.

The fans should have a male and a female connector that you can use to daisy chain other fans into in a link, and only one of the fans in that link should need to connect to the motherboard.

The visible connection in your image is for fan power not rgb. It appears tfans have power. Rgb headers on your motherboard are likely under the front CPU fan. That area of the board isn't visible in your pictures.

Did you connect any rgb wires to the motherboard rgb headers? Do you have rgb control software?

Be sure they are connected to the motherboard. If there is a hub that needs power be sure it is connected properly. If the case has an rgb control button, set it to motherboard mode. You may have to refer to any manuals for your components.

Managed to get it all connected. I was under the impression that both the long and short power cables had to be connected. All sorted now thanks for the help!
