Just checked you board and you only have 12v 4pin vs 5v 3pin addressable headers. You gonna have to get an adapter. Something like this.

I did. I picked up a Cooler Master SickleFlow 120 V2 ARGB for like $13 on Amazon. It comes with 2 front fans that I'm pretty happy with so far. The SickleFlow is a little wobbly, but I think I maybe just got a bad one since I have 2 of the standard RGB V1 fans on my AIO and they seem to be perfectly fine.
One thing to note is that the fans on the P360A (as well as any ARGB or D-RGB fan) have a 3 pin 5V connector, not the standard 12V 4 pin RGB connector. Make sure the mobo has a 3 pin connector on it. Otherwise you will need to get an adapter like this one that I had to use on my rebuild. It... doesn't really work. All the fans will light up the same color, but I can't control them or even really set the color. I'm probably going to go to all 4 pin RGB SF120s at some point so I can get true RGB effects.

I found this https://www.amazon.com/RGB-Convertor-Convert-Motherboard-Compatible/dp/B08CT9R8FR
But before you buy anything are you sure you don't have any headers that say jrainbow or argb5v?

There's this, not sure if it'll work but you can try.

That poses and issue. Double check on your board for a 3 pin connector. Failing that I used this in my build to use 12v

Even with something like this?

Wait until you build and get everything together before you buy products to solve problems that might not exist. If everything is plugged into the mobo headers it should sync ok. but I really hate 90% of the effects - I just leave mine on static colors.
If you have some rgb controlled by mobo and some by a separate controller it may not sync.
Deep cool does make an rgb converter (I have one, works well). https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08CT9R8FR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_QS0BFbJ8X283D
I think cooler master and others also sell larger hubs that will accept a variety of inputs?

What about this? https://www.amazon.com/RGB-Convertor-Convert-Motherboard-Compatible/dp/B08CT9R8FR But still it won't really be arg so its kind of a waste

Sooo let me get this straight. The case has 3 pin ARGB, but your Mobo has 4pin ARGB? I'm sure they make adapters for this type of situation. The 3pin connectors are for 5v and the 4pin are for 12v.
This might help https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08CT9R8FR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_6lBqFbN7H5R5Q
If I understood correctly your Mobo only has 12v but you need 5v. That little device seems to be made for that.

This is what I ended up using for my x470 Asus Prime with 12v 4pin only:
Gives you support for 12v 4pin and 5v 3pin controllable via motherbaord. Make sure you buy some 5v 3pin splitters so you can accommodate all the LEDs you want.

12V to 5V RGB adapters run around $20+ USD
