Manual pages 39 and 40 detail the positions of RGB and ARGB headers. The board features a single 4-pin RGB header near the base and two 3-pin ARGB headers—one at the top and one at the bottom. https://download.msi.com/archive/mnu_exe...56v2.1.pdf Typically, RGB fans include an inline splitter, allowing you to link multiple fans together by connecting just the final unit to the header. This approach has the drawback of broadcasting the same signal to all fans, which restricts the variety of lighting effects possible. The manual notes that the header can handle up to 75 LEDs with a maximum current of 3A; verify your fan LEDs don’t exceed this limit to avoid overloading the header, though three fans should be sufficient.
Yes, my board can take care of the 3 fans and the water cooler. I don’t worry about the lights, I just want everything to work!
The board should manage the setup well, similar to most RGB enthusiasts who use in-line splitters for daisy chaining. For optimal performance, consider connecting the AIO fans to one header while directing the case fans to another, ensuring even distribution of load between the two headers.
