How many 4-pin RGB items can you daisy chain together per header?

I have two 4-pin RGB headers on my motherboard, and currently I have 6x RGB fans daisy chained (3 each).

 

Would I be able to daisy chain another two strips (below)

To be clear, it would be 3 fans + 1 strip per header. Is that too much for one header?

remind me.. 4-pin RGB is non-addressible, correct?

 

in that case, it's basicly "until you overload the header". as for how much that is.. that depends on the header's capacity, and how much power each item draws.

Right, they are the basic ones.

 

This is my motherboard :

And I'm using 3x120mm Deep cool RF120s each at present.

Okay, I think I discovered something.

 

I also have 2x3pin headers.

 

I'll just buy these

This should work right

 

Wait, they are 3 pin Digital RGB Strip - they look different than argb 3 pin.

EDIT: it seems Gigabyte used a non-standard 3-pin ARGB header and needs an adapter to get the standard 3-pin ARGB to work, like this one:

Does anyone know what D_LED 3 pin is for?
