How to control case fan RGB and cooler/radiator/MB RGB from same place

Hi,
I received the machine below from PC Specialist a few months ago and am loving it. I was never bothered about RGB lighting and the PC sits behind my monitor, sideways on so it is only a tiny issue. I can control the lighting on the MB the cooler and the radiator fans (in the roof) via iCue and the front case fans via Armoury crate. Is there a way I can control them all from one place, so that they coordinate with each other, or indeed can be truned on and off in the same place?

Thank you.

In theory it's possible but in reality, iCue and Armory Crate still don't play nicely together, but the process to try and get it to work is below:


You'll see once they're configuring the motherboard in iCue, one of the headers is the RGB header which would control the case fans.

Thank you - will give it a look.

iCUE will only be able to control RBG for fans connected to the 12V RGB header (as stated in video above). If your fans are connected to the 5v ARGB, then you will need to use Crate or similar to control them. This is the issue I faced on my Asus B550 MB so I'm replacing the case fans with Corsair ones next week so I can control them all via iCUE, as Crate is not good

Check your MB manual to identify where your RGB and ARGB headers are and see what's plugged into each.
