The motherboard lacks sufficient fan and RGB header connections—need assistance!
Hi! Because of overheating and weak power supply, I chose to replace my PSU and case. (The builder helped me assemble it, so I’ve never handled it myself.) I got the NXZT H7 Flow to swap in for my H510i, and everything worked until we needed to connect the motherboard. You’d think I’d be surprised when I noticed my other case didn’t have a built-in fan hub—this one did. Plus, my motherboard only supports two fans next to the CPU ones. That’s why only two fans were active at first. (ASUS Rog Strix B550F Gaming Wifi) Now I’m unsure how to fix this. I don’t have an RGB hub and don’t have enough headers for the fans. I’ve bought fan splitters and am wondering if getting both a hub and a fan hub makes sense or if it’s just the same thing. My computer is in trouble, help would be great!

can't you just transplant the fan controller from your old pc? if you can't mount it, just use 2 sided construction tape and tape it in the back where it's space. depending on how many fans that have RGB, you get rgb splitters cheap. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=rgb+splitter+..._sb_noss_1
Both RGB and fan splitters are offered. They enable several connections. If you're comfortable, you can link them together. Soldering expertise is required.
Each connection has a limited current capacity, which is why a powered hub makes a big difference
