Building a PC have a few questions

[Starkerz]

Hey, So I'm building a my 2nd ever pc and I'm running into issues I didn't have during the first. I suspect its due to me using budget components this time.

My first question is. My case and fans all have 3 pin rgb connectors however my Asus mobo has a 4 pin header for rgb. I just can't figure out how to piece it all together am I missing an adaptor of some sort or am I just being silly?

My second question is. My mobo Asus Prime H610M-E D4 only has two case fan headers so I've bought a splitter allowing me to plug 3 fans into 1 header but I cant find the amp limit for each header on my mobo so I'm unsure if I can use all three fans on that one header. Does anyone know or knows a way I can find out this information please?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Stephen.

Edit: I used two fan splitters and put 0.70 amp into the one nearest to CPU fan and 0.30 in a different one and they both seem to be running fine touch wood.

Basically you cant fit the 3 pin to the 4 pin at all. You will need to by a 3 pin d-rgb controller to make them work. It seems bizzare they fitted the older rgb on a modern motherboard.
A cheap option is this controller.

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x Jonsbo RC-01 Addressable ARGB (3pin) Controlller - Black (SKU: CM-000-JB) = £3.95

You could always add a multi rgb and pwm controller to control all your fans like this one as its powered itself no issues with indivual fan power headers. OC is out of stock but they are available elsewhere. I have many fan headers on my board but just find it easier to put all of my fans on one hub and control them from that.

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x Lamptron SP901 ARGB PWM Fan and RGB Controller - Black (SKU: FG-00U-LP) = £14.99

Total: £23.69 (includes delivery: £8.70)​

I dont know exactly how you would find that info out unless its in the technical information in the manual for the board.

Thank you for your reply. I've now ordered an RGB controller

Fingers crossed i should be all sorted now. PC turned on first try and went through a benchmark pretty well so again fingers crossed my girls are all set for Xmas!
