Do fan splitters sync with RGB?

I want to add 3 RGB fans that sync with Gigabyte's RGB fusion however my board only has 2 fan headers on it. If I connect a fan splitter or a fan header to one of the headers on my motherboard, will I still be able to control RGB via software?

An rgb hub would be better but If you can find a splitter with 4 pins on each side it should work

The RGB is separate from the Fan headers. The fan headers are just for that, controlling the fan rotation.

So the fans will have 2 cables: fan and RGB. You can use a fan splitter for running the fans.

But you will need a RGB hub for connecting extra RGB's (model will depend on type of RGB, aRGB or 12v RGB)
