Hopefully soon I am going to be able to build my and planning it has been pretty easy except for one part: RGB.

Im building a Ryzen system on a Asus ROG Strix B350-F motherboard in a Phanteks Eclipse P400 Tempered Glass Edition. The cooler I chose is the DEEPCOOL Gamer Storm Captain 240EX RGB that comes with two 120mm RGB fans. Im also planning on getting an extra Deepcool 120mm RGB fan. now the problem I am having is trying to figure out how i get all of the lights to sync up with the Asus Aura Sync with only two RGB headers on the motherboard. The header closer to the socket I am planning on using for the RGB on the pump and i plan on using the header on the bottom for everything else in the system. The P400 TGE comes with a rgb strip i plan on using and as far as i know it is the normal style of connector i have seen, but the power button and logo rgb is controlled with a rgb controller but with an adapter for each of them i can make them use the normal four pin connector. Now the thing i need help on is how the heck do i connect the three rgb fans, the led strip, power button, and logo all to one connector. Im perfectly okay with them all being the same color, i just need to know how i would be able to connect them all. Any help would be AMAZEBALLS!

For the RGB header you can use splitters on them for multiple devices as long as you do not exceed it's max rating. The RGB fans if they have the ability to interface with Aura sync just needs to 4 pin RGB headers plugged in as for the LED strip you will need to get an adapter for it to work as Phanteks uses keyed JST connectors.

The P400's RGB controller accepts the strip as well, so only 1 connector for everything Phanteks
