How do I run 9 RGB fans in the 5000D case?

I will have the following in my new Corsair 5000D airflow case:

 

Front mounted 2x ML140 RGB fans (intake)

 

Side mounted 3x ML120 RGB fans (intake)

 

Top mounted 360mm h150i Capellix AIO w/ 3x ML120 RGB fans (exhaust)

 

Rear 1× ML120 RGB fan (exhaust)

 

So I'll have 9 fans total, 1 Commander pro to run 6 of them, but I'm not sure how I'll control the last three. My mobo is a Tomahawk X570 for reference. 

 

Any thoughts?

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

Would it be a fan splitter that connects to the commander pro? Is it safe to have 9 fans in one hub that's meant for 6? Safe to have a single hub for 9 fans connected to one CPU fan header on the mobo?

Any thoughts?

im guessing you have a commander core? and not the commander pro? the commander core comes with the aio.

 

did you buy single fans? because all 3 packs of fans should come with a lighting node core.  i also thing you cant have the aio ll fans with the other ll fans as there different. so i would test one non ll fan and one aio fan on the commander core first.

 

 

as for the fan power form what i read having multiply tacs hooked to one fan header can make the rpm readings off so best would be to use a powered hub and have 1 pwm to one fan header off the commander pro and it can do 4 pwm fans.
