Can you try running 6 in a 1 fan splitter on the Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite Ax DDR4 without any issues? I’ve heard it depends on the motherboard and its fan header voltage. Will that work?

Which fans are you aiming to activate? It's the current—consistent across all fan connectors—rather than voltage, which remains uniform, or power, which depends on current.

There’s a slight adjustment needed depending on the motherboard, the fan header’s current capacity, and the actual fans. Each fan has a specific current rating, so check the total draw and compare it to the header’s limits. For example, six fans at 0.25A each would total 1.5A—safe for that header. If using higher-rated fans like server models at 0.4A, the total would reach 2.4A and could overload it. Most consumer fans sit between 0.15A and 0.33A, making 6 to 1 splitters generally safe unless you use a hub, which often has its own power setup.

Corsair ll120 fans operate at 0.3A, meaning six units draw 1.8A each, which is below the 2A capacity of the header. Therefore, it's feasible to install six fans on one header (though using seven would require a separate SATA power cable).

Your fans are each drawing 0.3A, which is within the typical range for Corsair RGB hubs. That should work fine.

Confirming your setup: you're considering connecting fans via the motherboard and powering the RGB with the Corsair RGB LED Fan Hub and Lighting Node Pro. Both are SATA-powered, which should work well. Happy to assist!
