Do I need to buy two lighting node pros to control three Corsair rgb fans?

Corsairs LL140 series of fans come in at most 2 fans in a pack with a lighting node pro that only has 2 led control plug ins. I want to control 3 LL140 fans so do I have to spend money on another lighting node pro to get those 2 extra led control plug ins or can I just plug the third rgb header into my motherboard and still be able to use the same Corsair software as the other two fans plunged into the lighting node pro?

The fans should plug into an RGB hub that plugs into the LNP. That hub controls up to 6 fans.

The rgb hub only has 2 rgb connectors not three so I can only plug in two rgb fans not three so do I need to buy another lighting node pro?

Just connect one of them to mobo PWM.  As for changing RGB that is the issue.

No. That's not how it works unless he has an MSI board with the proprietary JCORSAIR header.

Right, but there is an RGB hub box that should have come with the 3 LL fans if you bought them in a pack. That hub is what you need to plug into the LNP, not the fans themselves.

 

It would look something like this:
