I'm facing an issue with my 870e ASUS crosshair or Strix motherboard for the 9800X3D. They only have ARGB 5v headers. I need to use the 14 LED case fans I already have on my two RADs in my 5900X build (480mm and 360mm in push/pull), but they're old-style 12V 4-pin RGB fans. The new motherboard doesn't support both headers like my X570 crosshair does. I really don’t want to purchase new fans just for lighting. Can anyone suggest a solution? Thanks.

RGB LED Controller offers full management of your system’s illumination, letting you elevate its performance. Explore a wide range of color schemes and effects, from ready-made presets to complete custom settings. Achieve the desired PC lighting without any hassle. Download the Coolermaster RGB LED controller software at the end of this link:
https://www.coolermaster.com/en-global/p...=tech_spec

For additional options, consider using a 1-to-3 splitter such as this:

This will allow you to connect 12 fans via a header, though you’ll end up with lighting groups and miss out on two fans from the total 14.
