I have recently purchased the following case, motherboard, cooler and fans:
- MSI Z790 Gaming Plus motherboard
- Lian Li Dynamic XL case
- 7x Coolermaster MF120 Halo2 fans
- EK Nucleus AIO CR360 Lux D-RGB

Annoyingly, the motherboard only has 6x SYS_FAN headers and I have 7x fans

What is the best solution for adding 7 fans and still maintaining control of the fan speed and RGB lighting from the motherboard?
Doing some googling suggests something like the Artic Case Fan Hub - 10 PWM fan distributor. But it is not clear whether I will be able to control the fan lighting through this.
Others suggest something like the Corsair Commander Core XT. But this seems to be seperate to the motherboard and require yet more RGB software installed.

Is there a simple solution that will allow me to plug these 7 fans into something, then plug that something into the motherboard and keep control of the fan speed and lighting through the motherboard software?

Thanks for any help
