Im trying to add extra LEDs to my pc (PC SPECIALIST Tornado R5 AMD Ryzen 5 RX 590 Gaming PC - 1 TB HDD & 120 GB SSD) It came with a 4-Pin adaptor but I would like to know where I need to plug it in and if it would work.

When you say 'it came with a 4-Pin adaptor' do you mean the PC or the LED strip?

Can you post your full specs?

The PC came with the 4 pin adaptor and here's a link to my pc https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/compu...ming-pc-1-tb-hdd-120-gb-ssd-10195687-pdt.html

Do you happen to have a photo? I'd imagine its a fan connector so doubt its meant to control LEDs (but I could be wrong ).

Do already have the LED strip you want to install?

that's the end of the wire

Do you have a link to the LEDs you bought? The new ones look to be specific to a manufacturer's controller

This this is the box for the LEDs

Do you know where I would attach this in my pc?

I could be wrong but I don't think you can connect that to your PC. It looks like a separate kit, more for home rather than a PC.

Standard PC RGB cables look like this (ARGB addressable) or would have four holes for standard RBG.

There is also manufacturers own styles of RGB cable but they generally go into their own hubs and then go to the motherboard with an ARGB cable.
