Hello everyone, I recently replaced my RGB fans with two sets of DEEPCOOL 120mm. I tested the first one to confirm compatibility with my PC (it worked fine) and then installed the remaining units in my case. I didn’t notice at first that each set needed a 3-pin, +5V connector on the motherboard to power them. I only realized this issue when I saw my motherboard (X570 Chipset ASUS) only had one such port. Are there any solutions or adapters available to work around this? It’s not crucial for me right now, but having that flexibility would be nice, especially since I invested in these fans. Any advice would be appreciated! Link to the fans: https://www.amazon.com/DEEPCOOL-CF120-3i...NrPXRydWU=

You can obtain a 5v RGB splitter or connect all the fans to a single controller, as the site states it accommodates up to six fans.

Certainly, they can be linked together seamlessly on a single connector.
