Do 10 A-RGB fans work with my motherboard???

[KristaJ]

Hello all!!! I'm curious as to if my motherboard will work for using 10 fans total. I've come to the understanding that it should work, but as every human does, we make errors. The motherboard I am looking to use is the MSI PRO Z790-A MAX WIFI ATX LGA1700 Motherboard. This motherboard has the following: 1x CPU fan, 1x pump fan, and 6x system fan headers. I will be using a MSI MPG CORELIQUID D360 liquid cooler and the fans I will be using will be 6 Arctic P12 PWM PST A-RGBs and a Arctic P14 PWM PST A-RGB in a Hyte Y70 case. My main question is: Will this work? And if this does work, will I require an A-RGB splitter or A-RGB fan hub??? Any help would much appreciated.

Yes, preferably a powered one.

Okay cool. I saw it came with a Y splitter for PWM, but I hadn't seen that the A-RGB connectors also had Y splitters until now. Thank you so much for the help!!!

To clarify why Kris is correct, you have 6 channel fan headers, each able to power up to 1A. Those Arctic P14s draw up to .17A, so you can safely run 5 on one header. If you want refined zone control, spread them across all 6 headers instead. Getting a hub would be a waste.
