Is that a powered hub or just the usb header connection? realistically speaking hub and splitter in this case appear synonymous. Is there some type of equation to find out if the usb devices are going to draw too much bandwidth for all four of the headers to work?

I highly doubt addressing some RGB lights are requires anywhere near 480 megabits of bandwidth. They'd all probably run just fine on 12 megabit USB 1.1 if they had to.

 

Don't sweat it.

Ive never done this before but the 1000D needs so many fans and im pushpulling now for rads
