Not Enough Fan "Headers"?

I got the MSI Tomahawk Max motherboard that only has 4x4 pin fan headers. I need 7 of them.

My fans are Corsair ll120 RGB. What should I do?

You can get some simple PWM fan splitters.

What RGB controller are you using for the fans?

The Corsair Lighting Node Pro.

Ah alright. I asked that because if you got the Commander Pro, you can plug 6 fans into there and the last remaining one in your mobo.

Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/4-Pin-Sleeved-Power-Cable-Splitter/dp/B01DD1I5BI/

 

You would need three splitters to connect 7 fans to 4 headers.

Ya. I am most likely going to get the Commander Pro. Its simile.

I personally prefer fan hubs controlled on one header so I can set all the fans in 1 click - another option compared to getting splitters (and a hub can be tucked behind motherboard area, in a case basement, HDD cage, etc to hide it and its wires better than multiple splitters)
