So let's talk wiring, as here it gets a bit more complicated. You can see above that we connected the pump towards the CPU OPT header. The CPU fan header cable goes to ... yep, the fans, for this you need to use a Y-split cable, included, next photo:

So here we have all the RGB goodness, dark looks, and great aesthetics, and then Cooler Master includes a 10 cent y-splitter cable with one brown connector and exposed color wiring. That just baffles me. Cooler Master come on, insert an all black y-splitter cable okay?

So we have hooked up our pump and fans, but hey now, each fan has an RGB cable, but that pump also. Here is where we land at the RGB controller. Now unfortunately for some reason, all the connectors are female, including the ones on the controller?? So Cooler Master included small gender changer inserts, the small 3-pin block you can see on the upper photo.

You will need to apply a female to male converter on all connectors, and then you can connect it towards the RGB controller.

So yes, it is a lot of cables to work with alright. The good thing, at the CPU cooling block there's only two wires. BTW you need to calculate one more wire in, as the RGB controller is powered by a SATA connector.
