You have two 4-pin RGB headers and six fans already connected. Adding another two strips would bring the total to eight fans, which fits within one header. It should work without exceeding capacity.

Yes, 4-pin RGB is not addressable directly. In that scenario, it essentially means you reach the limit of the header's capacity, and performance relies on managing power consumption. The exact limits depend on the header size and the power drawn by each pin.

Right, they are the basic ones. This is my motherboard : https://www.gigabyte.com/us/Motherboard/...-rev-10#kf And I'm using 3x120mm Deep cool RF120s each at present.

I noticed a few things. You have 2x3-pin headers and are considering a product for RGB lighting. The item you linked appears to be a 3-pin digital RGB strip, which is different from the standard ARGB 3-pin headers. It seems a Gigabyte adapter might be needed to convert it properly. Regarding the D_LED 3-pin, it’s likely a connector for RGB LEDs, possibly used in expansion cards or motherboards. Let me know if you need help identifying the right adapter or pinout.
