So i got a ,,AsRock z690 Phantom Gaming ITX/TB4” and Arctic LFIII ARGB 360. I don’t want to do the all in one cable because as i believe connecting every cable individually gives you much better control. So on my motherboard i have: CPU_FAN1, CPU_FAN2, CHA_FAN1. And correct me if i’m wrong but i think this AIO has 3 cables to connect: Pump, Fan, VRM (and argb ofc) . I thought about connecting Pump to cpu1, Fan to cpu2 and VEM to cha1. So you guys think it’s fine? I got other fans on my nzxt controller connected via USB 2.0. Oh and also are the fan cables already daisy chained or i have to do it myself?

If you cannot tell by looking, you really should let someone else install it for you.
I don’t physically have the aio yet. I ordered it 2 days ago. Of course i can recognise it but i couldn’t find any youtube video showing it well. I’m not so dumb

No one thinks you are dumb. "I got" infers to me that you are already in possession of it. I will not presume next time, but it could have been more clear.
Any PWM fan connector is fine. There are only 3 on the motherboard, so those are the ones you'll be using.
Since the manual, install guide, etc. (all available documentation) says nothing about you having to connect the radiator fans to each other, one can assume that it is already done for you. You'll know very quickly once you receive it.

Have it in your hands first and take it from there.
I have an LFII nonRGB 420 and connect it to board with all-in-1 cable on the CPU_OPT header, and set a curve through Gigabyte's software.
When I first connect it to CPU_FAN the pump wasn't working. All of my board's FUN/PUMP headers (7) are 4pin PWM capable but not all can work a pump.
Keep that in mind.
If your board doesn't have a CPU_OPT header then either CPU_FAN1 or CPU_FAN2 is a pump capable if not both.
Maybe this can help you
I will keep an eye on that. I will try go with seperate cables but if i will have any issues i will go with the all in one. But i don’t think this issues will happen because a lot changed from LFII to LFIII. But we never know, thanks for info
