I recently put together a build, and by happen stance of the parts picked out, there's lots of RGB to get control of. 

 

I have an ASUS Maximus XI Hero board (putting that here in case it's relevant), and currently, on the two addressable RGB headers on the board, I have my CPU Water Block and Distro Plate plugged in. The fans I have on my radiator are EK Vardar X3M fans. Currently, their RGB is unplugged. I have three of those fans, and EK says they use a "Standard D-RGB" connection. For some additional Chassis fans, I have two Corsair RGB fans, which also have their RGB unplugged as well. It's not really the end of the world if these don't get plugged in, however.  Finally, for additional case lighting, I have a Corsair Lightning Node Pro with LED strips plugged into it. 

 

My question is basically, what can I do/get to plug all of the RGB into, and kind of consolidate control a little bit?

 

(Also sorry if this is the incorrect forum section, this seemed like the best area for the question, but if there's an even more appropriate section I'd be happy to remake the post there)

 

Thanks for any help and recommendations.

You can try to plug the EK vardar fans into the mobo rgb headers. You might be able to find some rgb splitter cables to expand how many can be plugged into a header. Just don't plug too many into a single plug or you'll overload it. The manual will probably tell you the max amount of leds you can plug into one header. Plug the Corsair fans into the lighting node. Then look to see if you can run it all from the iCue software. https://www.corsair.com/us/en/blog/iCUE-Now-Supports-ASUS-Aura-Ready-Motherboards
