Hello, I plan on replacing a lot of the stock fans from my computer and replacing them with new ones, If given the option I would love to have RGB fans my my pc. However when I took a look at my pc I could not fin any ARGB headers of any kind on the mother board. My motherboard is a Hana motherboard, with an ID: 8876
My question being, is there a 3 pin rgb connector on the motherboard, if not then do I have any options moving forward to get RGB fans set up for my pc? While I would prefer to be able to control them in a similar way to how the gaming hub works at this point I'm just trying to find out what my options are.

Welcome to our HP User Forum!
Yes, you have options. I have a number of 5V (3-pin RGB) and 12V (4-pin RGB) integrated computer parts.
If your motherboard doesn't provide these power/control source(s), you can use an RGB lighting effect controller, either a 5V 3-pin or a 12V 4-pin adapter with remote controller, such as these examples: https://www.amazon.com/Computer-Controller-Equipment-Brightness-Adjustment/dp/B08ZKN5VZG/ref=sr_1_21..., or: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3256802793804060.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.0.0.21ef1802KAZz4i&gatewa....
This is the RGB 12V 4-pin control model, which I have in use. This model plugs into a 4-pin MOLEX power connector from your PSU, there is also a model that uses a SATA 15-pin power connector from your PSU.
Hope this was helpful.
