Hello,
I have an Asus PC equipped with an Asus G11CD-K motherboard and I would like to replace the fans (case or CPU) with RGB fans. Is my motherboard compatible?
Is it also compatible with RGB RAM?

Thank you in advance,
Have a good day.

Configuration: Windows / Edge 94.0.992.50

Hello.
This is not the motherboard reference you are giving but that of your PC.

  Hello,
  My PC is indeed an ASUS G11CD-K, but when I check the motherboard tab in CPU-Z, it shows this reference.

Hello,
no motherboard information is provided by Asus. It's impossible to know without opening it up and looking at the motherboard if there's an RGB connector.

As for the RAM, generally, RAM powers the RGB directly through the RAM slot, nothing special on that side.

As for LEDs on a case without a window, I don't see the point, but do whatever you want.

  Hello,
  The fans are currently not RGB, but I will inquire about compatible RGB connectors.
  Thank you for your information.
  
  Have a nice day.

  I slightly modified my comment, I doubt there is an RGB connector on this motherboard, need to check on it.

  Here is my motherboard, in my opinion, I think the CPU fan connector is indeed 4-pin (which is the required connector if I looked correctly) and the cha_fan (being the case fan connector) is also 4-pin.
  Am I right?
  Thank you.

  Yes, but the 3-4 pins are just for the fans' operation.
  
  As for the LEDs, there are 3 JLED connectors at the bottom right, which are normally intended for LEDs, not necessarily RGB, and since there seems to be an empty pin in the middle, a standard RGB connector will not fit. Without documentation, it's impossible to know for sure.
