i have 11 argb peripherals(fans,ssd cover,gpu cable,gpu holder.) , could my phantom gaming 4 b550 handle it?

so im planning to put about 5/6 more argb peripherals in my pc a led bar, rgb fans , ssd cover, argb gpu cable, argb gpu holder and i wonder how many of them can i link up to just one chain link of fans or do i have to plug it in straight to the mobo? so it doesnt take too much power from only one argb 3 pin. im quite new to pc's so i dont really know alot about em 馃檹馃徎

Okay, so to answer your question I'm going to need the model of the motherboard, and likes to all of the individual ARGB and RGB products. Then I can calculate the current requirement on your motherboard. 馃檪

I might be experienced, but I'm human and I do make mistakes.Expand for common PC building advice, a short bio and a list of my components and other tech.聽I edit my messages after sending them alot, please refresh before posting your reply. Please try to be clear and specific, you'll get a better answer. Please remember to mark solutions once you have the information you need.

Common build advice: 1) Buy the cheapest (well reviewed) motherboard that has the features you need. Paying more typically only gets you features you won鈥檛 use. 2) only get as much RAM as you need, getting more won鈥檛 (typically) make your PC faster. 3) While I recommend getting an NVMe drive, you don鈥檛 need to splurge for an expensive drive with DRam cache, DRamless drives are fine for gamers. 4) paying for looks is fine, just don鈥檛 break the bank. 5) Tower coolers are usually good enough, unless you go top tier Intel or plan on OCing. 6) OCing is a dead meme, you probably shouldn鈥檛 bother. 7) "Bottlenecks" rarely matter and "Future-proofing" is a myth. 8) AIOs don't noticably improve performance past 240mm.

I'm a PhD student working in the fields of reinforcement learning and traffic control. PCs are one of my hobbies and I've built many PCs and performed upgrades on a few laptops (for myself, friends and family). My personal computers include 3 windows (10/11) machines and a TrueNAS server (and I'm looking to move to dual booting Linux Mint on my main machine in future). While I believe I have an decent amount of experience in spec鈥檌ng, building and troubleshooting computers, keep in mind I'm not an expert or a professional and I make mistakes.
