I have an ASUS TUF z370 Plus motherboard and it only has one RGB header. I have two RGB strips and I need to find a way to connect both of them and still have them both work with Asus aura sync. How would I do this?

Are your RGB strips digital RGB with individually adressable LEDs or the regular analog strips?

That is the amazon link to the rgb strips.

 

You can use a simple splitter as long as the total amperage of the lights don't exceed your headers capability.

well, according to the instructions that came with your strips, you can just daisy chain them together.
