First build in some time and decided to have a go with lighting effects in a new chassis.
Relevant parts are:
Case; Lian Li Dynamic XL (Black) Mobo: Asus Maximus XI Code CPU: 9900K
Misc: Koolance Cpu 380 block, XSPC 360rad, DDC 3.25 pump intergrated into Heatkiller Tube 200 with short stand.
And the issue, 6 Lian Li Bora digital LED fans.
Trying to wrap my head around powering and controlling the fans and the multitude of headers on the board. There are, best I can tell 4 headers on the board of 2 different types. Two 5v 3-pin headers that are RGB addressable for LED control on fans and two12v 4-pin labeled RGB AURA which are I believe for controlling LED STRIPS.
So powering the fans has been relatively easy so far, the issue is making connections with the motherboard. There a multitude of adapters included with the fans which allow you to daisy chain both the power and RGB connectors into a single connector. There is also a LED lighting strip in the front of the Dynamic XL which according to the instructions has to be plugged into one of the 5v mobo header; so i need 3 5v mobo connectors but only two - at least afaik.
Is there a simple fan controller hub out there that will solve this issue? The ones I have found are for power only. Any help or suggestions appreciated!
