HELP! Plugging Stuff In (Uni v2)

[Altcoinist.eth]

I just got all my parts and I am seconds from beginning my build however I need help deciding where everything will get plugged in.

 

Let me set the stage in terms of equipment!

Case: Lian Li 011 Dynamic EVO

Motherboard: MSI z790 MPG Carbon WIFI

Fans: 10 Lian Li 120mm Uni v2 Fans

-I'm swapping 3x v1 fans on Radiator for V2

AIO: Lian Li 120 Galahad 360

 

My strategy: I want to utilize all of the Daisy Chain advantages that I can with v2; therefore, my end goal is to wind up not using ANY USB hubs and 1 single fan controller. I was going to Daisy Chain 3x Fans on the Radiator (set to exhaust) and utilize the cord that comes with Lian Li Univ2 Single Fan Boxes to plug them into the CPU_Fan Header (to allow CPU thermals to self regulate control). Then take the other side of that cable back into the controller SYNC 2 slot. (The controller has (2) JST 3 PIN ARGB Sync Ports labeled "SYNC 2 & SYNC 4). After that, I was going to install the AIO (which has 2 cables). I was going to plug the 3-pin JST into "SYNC 4 slot" on the Controller, and plug the other cable into the Motherboard AIO Pump Header. Then I was going to Daisy Chain (x3) Uni V2 Fans on the Side (set to intake) to (x3) Uni v2 Fans on the Bottom (set to intake). The Daisy Chain will be through the proprietary single cable for linking groups of V2 Fans. Then I was going to run a single cable from the bottom fan group to the Controller Port 1. Following that, I was going to install a SINGLE v2 fan on the REAR of the case set to Exhaust. I was going to use Lian Li's single cable and plug that fan into Port 2 on the controller. (At this point we are now occupying all of the 3-PIN JST ARGB SYNC ports on the controller (#2 & #4), and only 2 of the 4 ports on the controller using Lian Li's Proprietary Connector. Now I was going to run the controller to 2 seperate tails of SATA Power (to get maximum power from PSU) and plug the main USB 9-PIN into my USB 2.0 Header on the motherboard. Furthermore, I was ALSO going to plug the controller into the 3-PIN ARGB Header on the Motherboard and plug the 4pin connector into the Motherboard 4-PIN SYS_FAN Header. I believe this will give me the ability to SYNC all my Fans and devices to the Motherboard software and control them that was as well. (So I am not stuck just using L Connect 3 for everything).

 

Here is where my question comes in, I just noticed my CASE has a 3-PIN female connector for RGB. Do I need to split one of my 3-PIN JST Sync connections and get that CASE RGB into my controller Port somehow using an adapter? Or should I just plug the case RGB into the Motherboard? Will I be able to control my CASE RGB only through Motherboard software? I'm curious what I should do. I'm good at making custom cables, so my thought was to create a Y-Cable that merges 2 of those JST connections, that way I can plug the case into a SYNC RGB port. However, if plugging it directly into the MOBO isn't an issue and it's controllable later in L-Connect due to the Controller being plugged into the MOBO, I won't even bother. 

 

Any advice, tweaks, suggestions is GREATLY appreciated here. I'm new to this community and I'm hoping somebody else who has built something similar can chime in and help. Thank you all!

Your description is hard to visualize.  Can you upload photos or images to show your plan?

 

Also, how many pwm headers will you use to run all those fans? If only one, you will likely discover that they'll all run, but the header will probably show as empty in BIOS. You'd have to ask Lian Li how many amps the header can handle safely and calculate the number of fans to connect. I wouldn't recommend trying to over-draw as it might have consequencesbeyond the BIOS thing.
