What @Demonic Donut said.
to expand: The issue is total on the motherboard not per header. The worry isn’t blowing out the header it’s overloading the whole board. A single header can easily take 3 regular non rgb case fans. If you do that to every heade and there’s a mess of them and there’s a pupmpnamd rgb involves and whatnot you could hit the motherboard power delivery so hard it could be buckled.

Look at your Mobo specs for max wattage of the header and compare to fan wattage.

I don’t think so. It’s not totally impossible if you’re already straining te power output of your motherboard with a bunch of. Other stuff. I don’t know much about rgb though so if that’s in the mix it could change the dynamic.
the phrase “two more” gives me some pause though.
how many of what kind of fans and what else is plugged into motherboard headers?
