Questions about the compatibility of these upgrading parts

mqmqmq

So I'm planning to increase the aesthetics of my pc by buying a Phanteks Vertical GPU Bracket, Phanteks Neon Digital RGB LED Kit (1m), and either one or three Aerocool Mirage 12 ARGB 120mm Fans. I just wanted to make sure these parts are all compatible with my current build https://au.pcpartpicker.com/user/DiVidz/saved/7bMbLk.

  1. Will my motherboard have enough connectors for three additional rgb fans?

  2. Will a vertical 2080 strix even fit in the lancool 215?

  3. Could I install two fans at the bottom of the case; will the vertical gpu block it? One fan will be to replace the rear fan of the case.

  4. Are these fans any good or loud? These were just like the first ones I saw, and they're very cheap.

  5. What's this with the rgb hub for the fans? Are they supposed to connect to the motherboard or the hub?

  6. Will the vertical gpu be blocking anything essential?

  7. Will I have to use different RGB software for the fans and rgb strips?

  8. What else could I add to my pc?

Addiciton for question number 1, If somehow your Mobo don't have enough Cha Fan Connector you can always buy a Fan Splitter/ Fan Hub.

Yes you are right but would it be enough power? For example my mobo allows 12 volts to each fan connector so if you split multiple fans onto one connector would the fans have to be underpowered to work?
