I have just re-built my pc in a new Phantek P500a case, my last case being a cheap piece of Chinese.....metal.

I have a MSI B450 Tomahawk Max mother board with 2x JRGB headers

The case has a connector for DRGB, am i right in thinking that I can use the Phanteks RGB LED adaptor cable to bridge the connection between the JRBB header and the case DRGB connector and will then be able to control both motherboard and case lighting from the same point?

Next question; the case has 3x 140mm front fans, i have each connected to the 'sys fan' headers on the mother board, can these be linked using a y-cable so I can add more fans?

Finally, has anyone heard anything about the Phantek AIO? no reviews as of yet on this site
 
What about fitting a fan hub?

▷ Phanteks Universal PWM Fan Hub - Black | OcUK (overclockers.co.uk)

Thatb way you can tidy the board up and fit more fans if needed or not.

No. I have this board. The RGB headers on the board are 12 volt & 4pin. The DRGB fans in you case are D or ARGB which are 5 volt & 3 pin. Both are incompatible with each other.

Sorry I wasn't clear there, when I asked about the fans i was referring to power rather than DRGB. Presumably the fans can be daisy chained and controlled by the case RGB controller?
