Gigabyte rgb connectors

Hello,
I am trying to connect argb connectors to my motherboard. It's a Gigabyte b550m Aorus elite rev 1.3. I am trying to connect my thermaltake pure duo 12 argb fans but according to the manual provided in the fans I am suppose to connect vdg three pin

to three pin header on the motherboard. Well my motherboard doesn't have the exact vdg connector rather It has one similar to the ones found in asus, msi.

Should I connect the other argb connector to the vdg?

Did you look in the motherboard manual? Page 17. Your board has 5 and 12 V RGB headers.

You will need an adapter. Either look with the cooler goodies, or there is a chance it is in with your motherboard goodies. No garantee.

Looks to me that that connector from Tt is proprietary for their controller that comes with the multi-pack fans.

I had the rev 1.0 of that same board and indeed it didn't have that connector, just the standard ones.

And it didn't include an adapter either.
