I'm planning to buy a fan splitter so i can add or replace the daisy chained rgb molex type fans that came with my case. My question: is it safe to use this splitter hooked to a single motherboard header? I don't know the amp output of the header (msi b450 mortar max) I looked up the motherboard's website but can't find detail about the amperage. So, using 3 or 4 fans connected to a splitter that is connected to the header of the motherboard is safe? 

Also, if used a non-rgb fan do i need a four-pins splitter?

Thank u in advance 🙂

That is an ARGB cable. From my own testing, going past 1A-1.2A per channel can result in fans shutting down abruptly at low RPMs. If you are asking if its safe connect 4-5 ARGB devices together, I believe there is a limit on how many LEDs can be addressed but I am not sure about the current limit.

 

I am sorry for the confusion, I am currently sleep deprived.

So, i'm going for the 3 pins splltter? The fans i have installed are 0.25a but those are connected via peripheral connectors. Thank u for the reply 🙂
