help me hook up all this rgb

[JoHeJo06]

hello,

this is everything i need to hook up: 10 rgb fans, cooler master ones with each a 5V 3-pin connector (daisy chainable).  i will also have the rgb pump from the cooler master masterliquid ml360 illusion and a powercolor rx 7900 xt red devil card, which requires a 3-pin connector to control its rgb (i know, its odd).  and lastly, i have the rgb strip on the lian li o11 dynamic evo.

 

all the ports i have to hook stuff up to: my motherboard has 3 3-pin headers, the gpu apparently has 2 3-pin headers and included with the aio and fans, i will get 3 rgb controllers with each 3 argb connectors. (i can only use 2 because my mobo has 2 usb 2.0 headers)

 

how should i hook this up?

Get a 6+ fans RGB fan hub, using the daisy chain feature to group your fans by location so it's cleaner

It's around $15

The motherboard has 3 A-RGB (5v) and one RGB (12v) headers. You should check the motherboard user manual for the loads that each header can handle. I suspect most if not all of your lighting can be controlled directly from the motherboard.

oh alright ill check it right now

the header supports up to 3A, and the fans are 0.5-0.8A each, according to cooler master.  i could get 3 fans daisy chained on a single header (3A/0.8A=3.75), and i have 10, and the pump.

this isnt enough, should i buy a controller?

What fans are you using? The MF120R A-RGB specs list the RGB current as 0.34A. As the user manual says, you should be able to control lighting for up to 500 LED.

 

Rather than a controller, use a hub if needed. Cooler Master has https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/coolers/rgb-accessories/masterfan-argb-and-pwm-hub/. It uses SATA power, interfaces with a motherboard A-RGB header and can run up to six fans, both PWM and A-RGB power.

yesss i do.  i looked at some controllers and i found a 10 port PWN hub and a 8 port argb hub.  

the zalman argb hub can give 4A combined so i could hook up 5 argb connectors to it, the pump and 3 other argb fan to a spare rgb connector and the last 2 fans and the case rgb to the gpu connectors.  what a mess hahahaha

edit: by the way the cooler master fan controller isnt available in belgium, i need to order it from germany and i would rather not do that...
