Right, first time posting here (if I'm posting in the wrong part of the forum, then I'm sorry), and first time dabbling in RGB so I got absolutely no clue what the hell I'm doing.

Basically, I'm upgrading my PC (except PC and graphics card, which are fairly recent).

Gonna be slapping a 10700k on an ASUS Prime z490-P, with 2x16GB sticks of Corsair Vengeance LPX ram and sticking a Noctua NH_D15 on the CPU, in a Fractal Design Meshify C Light TG case.

Now my idea is to essentially throw RGB fans in everywhere, 2 140mm in front, 2 140mm on the back, 2 140mm on the heatsink, 1 120mm on the bottom and 1 120mm on the back.
Thing is, what way would be the most ideal to connect them up? I was thinking to just use fan splitters, the two CPU fans on 1 splitter on the CPU header, front ones on a splitter on one header, top ones similarly, and then the back and bottom one on a header.. But would that blow out the headers? or just not work with aura sync for some baffling reason?
I'd kindof prefer things to run with aura sync if possible, and try to keep things as simple as possible because I'm a moron and I don't know what I'm doing.

Also, any recommendations in regards to what RGB fans to get?

Once again, sorry if this is the wrong place for this kinda thread.
And sorry if my phrasing is a bit odd, not a native english speaker.
Any and all help/feedback is appreciated, thanks in advance guys.

Get a fan kit that comes with a powered Hub.

My kit came with 3 120mm fans and 2 hubs, 

one for the RGB one for the fans

 

one wire goes from a fan header into the hub and the hub is powered by a sata connection

i think mine can fit 8 fans on one hub, or maybe 6 i dont quite remember. but this way you're not overloading fan headers by attaching too many in one header.

Wait, so the fan has two cables? or how exactly does that work?

ya one is for rgb/argb and the other for powering the fan. there are some generic fans that do have both in on connector that you will have to use that controller it came with. also thermaltake dose this as well.
