and it would be nice to also do the rgb header for the motherboard fortunately we have a corsair specific header on this motherboard so that will greatly ease in uh integrating everything together and connecting that all up so it's all recognized properly by the iq software but then we also have these units and these are what came with the case this right here is essentially just a pwm fan splitter it's got one cable that'll feed over to the motherboard so you can plug it in for controlling all these fans and then power to control up to six fans at once no problem there but we're probably going to bypass this so we can control everything with corsair's iq software this unit right here is for rgb leds and this has another state of power coming off of it and another usb NUMBER_TOKEN header so that would give us three along with the two for the aio and that means we're not going to use this we're actually going to remove that and instead use the iq commander core xt and there is one key reason for that like we could just use that on the board if we had three usb NUMBER_TOKEN headers on the board or we used some other kind of splitter but this one actually has a pass through so that allows us to plug one end into the motherboard to control up to six of the rgb led functions there the other can go to a pass-through over to the aio and then the second one from the aio can plug directly into the motherboard and that should allow us to plug in all of our fans and all of the rgb and move on with our lights i just explained all that rgb stuff but before i go and install it move on with the aio i want to plug as much stuff into the motherboard as possible while i still have easy access to it so that means these extension cables from the power supply these are very nicely sleeved and they come with some cable combs already and then you can buy additional ones and i wanted to show you guys how they work because i've never seen cable combs that work like this before maybe this is common i just never seen it i'm not sure but basically each one has three pieces one for each side and one in the middle it's got two metal posts that stick out like that the posts have some textured area up towards the top so they will grip when they are compressed together and basically it's just a matter of us laying the bottom one in inserting the middle one in between all of these cables and pushing those posts through for our first step and then the top one is going to go on top and then of course i need to actually get all these cables into their appropriate grooves all right so they're all lined up properly now this is still a little loose though and i've tried to compress this by hand but i found the easiest way is just grab yourself some pliers squish it down that compresses and holds it in place and now we have two cable combs and and while these are a little bit more on the bulky side they're sort of large and squared off they do slide very easily across cables to sleeve them out and hold them in place so i'm going to pop a couple more of these on there so that we can properly train the side that's going
