Confused about the RBG lighted fans? Montech doesn't explain much about them.
The case fans have their own controller, they are all plugged into it when your case arrives.
First unwrap the velcro ties that hold all the wiring and find the wires that all the fans are connected together with.
1. There is a wire that comes with the case that plugs into the bottom of the fan controller hub on the case, and the other end plugs into the 3 pin RGB controller at the bottom of your motherboard. This is how you gain control with your motherboard.
However, the lights have a seemingly endless number of effects that can be controlled by the reset button on the case utilizing the case mounted controller. Notice the reset button is plugged into the top of the RGB case mounted controller. Simply pressing the reset button changes the patterns and colors of the RGB lights in the fans. To change control of the lights between the case controller and your motherboard, hold the reset button down for 3 seconds once you get everything hooked up and working.
2. There is a black power connector on the fan leads that plugs into a connector on a standard SATA power cable. This is what powers the LED lights.
3. There is a single white fan power connector attached to the fan leads that plugs into the #1 Aux/Case Fan connector on your motherboard. This is what powers the fans. All the fans spin at the same rate together off the one plug, they are all wired together.

If you hook it all up as outlined, everything will work with about 20-ish different LED patterns and colors you can cycle through with your motherboards RGB controller software, or by simply pressing the reset button on the case. You switch between the 2 methods of control by holding the reset button down for a few seconds. You will see all the fans flash when the setting is changed from the case controller to your motherboard controller. (you will need to install the RGB controller software for your motherboard to make the motherboard controller work)

Question 2

Will the case support this motherboard https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/b09qfsbr8x/ref=ox_sc_act_image_3?smid=ahg2mi785yuy7&psc=1

Accepted Answer

Yes it is plenty big enough to support any size mother board. I feel like I should add the "usb 3.0" ports on the case are actually usb 1.0.

Question 3

How much power does the fans take

Accepted Answer

I'm not sure but case fans  usually use 1.8 watts but should be in a range of 1-4 watts.
