You need something like a Corsair Commander Pro.

Just not 100% sure if the RBS connectors will be compatible, as I think Corsair use a proprietary connection. However, the front fans are daisy chained, so you only actually need 5 connectors.

Thanks. I think this can work. Is there any cheaper option maybe?

Honestly, for the cost of 3 fans and an RGB controller, just get yourself an AIO. They come with the fans, and only require 1xRGB connection. I have the Lian-Li Galahad 240mm, but the P500A will take a 360mm either at the top or the front. I have mine mounted at the front with the pipes coming from the bottom.


 
Any difference between these coolers ?


and


The fan on the first one is 92mm. The other one has a 120mm fan. That's s big difference in cooling power. Which one is best for you would depend on the cpu that you are using and how hard you push it.

If you want better cooling, pretty lights and don't want a water cooler, then this is also nice

Thanks don't care that much about rgb and wont really overclock my cpu just don't want it to thermal throttle (i5 11400f)

I really like this idea but I was just trying to avoid the AIO, I have seen some people recommending air coolers over AIOs, they complained about having to clean them now and then and the leaks that might damage the components.

If I end up taking the AIO which one is better between these two?

Coolermaster I reckon. Lian Li is predominantly a case company anyway.
 
So you don't recommend the 360mm AIO?

It's your money ultimately but 360mm AIOs are meant for processors using 175W of power and more (overclocked top-end CPU's).

There is value in slightly overdoing the cooling so you can run a quieter system but not to that extent.
