Do i need an ARGB Fan Splitter; If so Recommendations?
4 hours ago, PlainPencil said:Hi everyone,
I just built my first ever PC a short while ago and recently upgraded it with a new MB (ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING II) and three 140mm ARGB Fans from Alpenfoehn.
For now everything works perfectly fine and i am able to control the RGB LED's from the fans via Armory Crate/AURA Sync. But i managed to get my hands on a Alpenfoehn 240mm AIO Liquid Cooler and now i am not entirely sure if i will still be able to control all of my fans over the single 5V 3 Pin header of the MB. All five fans have 3 Pin connectors for the RGB lighting and use 0.57 A LED current.
Now my Questions would be:
Can i put all 5 fans on the same header on the MB or will i have issues regarding power for the LEDs? Sadly i couldn't find any helpful information on this and i am not really thrilled about going with trial and error.
If i can't, is there some fan splitter/controller/hub i could use to connect all the fans to? Sadly Alpenfoehn doesn't have one for their products and it would be great if the third party product would be able to work with AURA Sync.
Any solutions i was able to find were either not available (like the XS-PC 8 way splitter hub) or had really doubtful reviews and since my experience is pretty limited i really need some advice.
Thanks in advance for your help!
