I am having a bit of trouble with the corsair LL120 you see I am trying to do this

 

AIO on the front with 6 fans push pull

1 fan on the rear

& 2 fans on top

the problem is I will be getting the corsair commander pro and it only has 6 fan slots so i was like well I should get a fan splitter ... BUT there is a 4,5 A limitation on the unit and I want to know how many amps will the fans need if I set them to the max.

you can read that from the back of the fan's hub at the center

No what i am basically trying to say is what is the Amperage if the fans were at max

Power = voltage multiply current, and it's known that voltage iis 12V

Even though I wrote it I still did too,

I would just get a fan hub instead of a splitter.

The LL-120 Fans:

I assume you are using a Corsair H150 as your CLC which has the 3 fan headers coming from the block. You can add (2-way) splitters to that to allow the 6 fans to remain under the control of the AIO. The total amperage draw for the fans (excluding LEDs) will be 6 x 0.3A = 1.8A. On a side note; employing push-pull on a thin radiator won't really see an increase in performance but of you're doing this for aesthetics, go for it.

 

In addition, you don't mention whether all your fans are LL-120's. If they are (a total of 9), you'll need a second Corsair RGB Fan LED Hub as each hub can handle a maximum of 6 fans. (Both the Lighting Node and the Commander Pro can handle 2 x RGB Fan Hubs.)

 

The Commander Pro:

Just a word of caution regarding the Commander Pro. Although each port may be able to handle the amperage of more than 2 fans connected via a splitter, limit yourself to a maximum of 2 fans per port (or put simply, don't use 3-way or more splitters) even if your total draw remains under the 4.5A ceiling. There's no official Corsair documentation to this effect but it was mentioned by a Corsair employee on their forums to not place more than 2 fans on an individual fan port of the Commander Pro.

 

I ran into this problem when using a couple of 3-way splitters for my push-pull fan configuration on a 420mm radiator. Essentially, one of the fan ports (that had 3 fans attached) simply expired. It wasn't actually dead because I was able to factory reset the unit (instructions are on the Corsair forum but you'll need 3 hands to execute the steps) and the port performed a Lazarus (came back from the dead). It seems that some sort of logic problem may arise with 3 or more fans on an individual fan port.

Yeah that is what I am going to do.

No,I am going to be using the Asus Rog Ryujin 360.

Okay, Same deal, just more expensive. The Asus 360 has 3 fan headers as well but they're just ganged so doubling the fan count might present a strain on the header.

 

@Vented_Swing_6295 Edit: One point to note: CLC's should be basing their fan curves from the coolant temperature rather than the CPU. I'm unsure if the Commander Pro (and the software ICUE) will be able to see the coolant temperature from the ASUS CLC so you may run into a snag there.
