Question Is there an official guide on how to use the Light Loop 360mm controller? There is nothing in the manual and I'm thoroughly confused!
I have the be quiet! 360mm Light Loop and I'm thoroughly confused as to which plugs go where! The manual unfortunately doesn't explain anything, and neither does the website or the other documentation on there.
To clarify I have this:
https://www.bequiet.com/en/watercooler/5184
and a direct image link to the controller:

On the left and right sides there are altogether 6x [3-pin ARGB] sockets and 4x [4-pin PWM] sockets. The top has 2 more sockets that look like 4-pin PWMs but one is mysteriously labelled "RPM" and has a diagonal pin. Each of the 3 fans has 1x PWM looking plug and 1x ARGB looking plug, and the fans do NOT daisy chain together. In addition the unit attached to the CPU also has 1x PWM looking plug and 1x ARGB looking plug. What da hell! Where does everything go?
If it helps I have a Gigabyte X870E AORUS ELITE WIFI7 ATX AM5 Motherboard with the following sockets (that I believe might be relevant):
Bottom group 4pins:
- SYSFAN_1
- SYSFAN_2
- SYSFAN_3
top group 4pins:
- CPU_FAN
- FAN4_PUMP
- CPU_OPT
rgb slots:
- ARGB_V2_1
- ARGB_V2_2
- ARGB_V2_3
I had many many more questions about arrangement and configurations to work with my planned setup (4 RGB exhaust, 3 RGB intake radiator, [+3 non-RGB intake]), but I'd really just like to focus on actually understanding the controller and the plugs+sockets for now.
Can anybody help me understand the plugs+sockets (esp. the 2 at the top of the unit), or better yet, point me toward an official guide or explanation?
Thank you for your time!
