Connecting new fans to motherboard

[Kanna]

Hello, I have just found 2 A-RGB 120mm fans and I'm wondering what would be needed to hook both up to my motherboard gigabyte aorus x570 elite. I have 2 fans connected atm excluding the CPU fan. And one of the connected ones are a fan hub for my now discontinued A-RGB fan which uses proprietary plugs (looks similar to corsair)

Get splitters (one for fan headers one for RGB) to plug both into 1 fan header and 1 RGB header, there's many fan headers on a X570 Elite, and a couple RGB ones

Thank you for the answer, was looking at something like that, I'm assuming then my old current A-RGB hub goes into the splitter too (so I have space for connection)

If you only has a pair of fans a splitter is ok, now if you have 4+ rather get a fan hub

I will tell my setup a little more detailed and maybe you can decide what's best. I'm currently running 2 case fans, one of them is a better model and is non RGB and sits in the back, and in the front I have this A-RGB fan that is connected to it's own fan hub which uses the A-RGB port and a fan port on the motherboard, in this scenario I want 2 more A-RGB fans of different brand since this one is discontinued, what stuff should I get, is splitters enough or would you advice I maybe save for a whole new set of fans?

Mmm, where do you want to put the new fans ? Top ?

Simpletest solution should be to use a fan hub to rule them all  , a 6 port one costs like $10 (but don't do RGB)

Then either use splitters for RGB or a RGB hub ($20)

I want to put them in the front, but reading this I might just save for a new entire set of fans to avoid having a lot of hubs in my case

Beware most sets still require plugging every single fan !

Exceptions are daisy chainable like Arctic PST (and maybe some others), with the best setup being the new LianLi that just clip together and require only plugging the last one

I thought sets just made you hook it up to the fan hub no? the fan hub only uses one plug to my knowledge

No, most sets are just a box of X fans and that's all

Oh most sets I find for sale are bundles with a controller, rarely see sets without controller on the site I'm on
