So I bought a Corsair Crystal Series 570x which comes with 3 RGB fans built in on the front and it has these connectors

And I also bought an EVGA GQ Series 750watt PSU as well which says to use these molex cables for fans that has the exact same head on them to where you can’t connect the fan to the molex cables at all for connecting to the PSU. So how am I supposed to connect these fans that came with my Corsair Crystal Series 570x?

There isn’t room for 3 extra fan connections on my motherboard since on is commected to my liquid cooling fans as it is. So I have no place to plug these RGB fans.

Also my motherboard only has this place to connect audio

When the connection for audio in the Corsair Crystal Series 570x is this

In which it’s not the right amount of pins or right places so it doesn’t fit.

I looked at my motherboards user manual and there are no other places to connect this HD audio connection.

For the record I don’t know the exact model number of my motherboard as it is some propriatary one from a Dell Inspiron 5675 Gaming Desktop of which I am in the process of moving all it all from the stock case it came in to this Corsair Crystal Series 570x. But after doing research t says it is similar to the AMD x370 chipset so I don’t know if that helps. So I apologize for that.

Any help here is greatly appreciated.

And this is your problem. Dell and other OEMs are notorious for having their own proprietary connections that don't play well with standard stuff that you can purchase off-the-shelf. It'd directly competitive with their business model to do so.

The RGB fans will have two connectors - one is already set up in your case (that's for the RGB LEDs). The other ones will require a fan controller or connection of some kind. There are plenty of these around but you may have...

There are plenty of these around but you may have challenges getting it working with your motherboard. Again ... it's a Dell.

Honestly, your best option is to get a standard Ryzen motherboard and go from there.
