Can someone help me with this RGB madness.

 

I have a H500 ARGB Cooler Master Case that has these 200mm ARGB cooler master fans and 3 Lian Li Unifans and a Corsair AIO which has RGB for the block as well.

Motherboard is a B550F Asus Strix

 

How do you connect all of these when theres only 2 addressable headers and 2 non addressable headers?

 

Any help would be appreciated

There are splitters that you can buy, but know that this will make anything connected to them do exactly the same thing.

1 argb splitter wont affect it?

1 argb header for the Lian Li and 1 ARGB header split for the corsair AIO and 2 Cooler Master Fans?

Use splitters for sure. From my count you should have 3 separate argb cable ends, so you only need one Y type splitter to add 2 of those to one header. Just put what lights you want to control as a group on a single header so if that means you need a 3 way splitter go that way instead. Personally wish the boards came with a couple, but no such luck

My concern is the clash between the brands

A single Y splitter for a corsair AIO and the Cooler Master fans

Both ARGB

Can I still control these separately by software? iCue and whatever cooler master has?

You can use a splitters or a hub.
