Hi. I have a general inquiry. When ARGB fans are linked to the motherboard through the hub, do they draw power from the hub or directly from the motherboard? The hub also connects to the PSU via a SATA cable. I'm wondering if connecting more than three fans is possible, as I plan to add six, given only one 3-pin header from the hub to the motherboard and the power requirements of three ARGB fans exceed what a single header can supply. Case: Gamdias Talos M1 Lite Motherboard: Gigabyte B450 Aorus Pro Wi-Fi

You link your 5v fans to the hub The hub supplies energy for them The hub receives power from the sata power port

You can link all six fans to the hub safely because the power source is through the hub, not the mobo. The connection for synchronizing the RGB is only needed on the hub side.

All these enthusiasts won't exceed 15 to 20 watts (though that's pushing it). SATA offers significantly more capacity.

again, thank you so much. I was afraid that maybe the power is going through mobo to the fans and that would max it out Take care TofuHaroto
