How do I add (connect) addition RGB fans?

Hi all,

I have a Coolermaster H500p case and a Asus Hero motherboard. As you will like know there are two big fans which connect to a three way splitter - so that gives me capacity for one more fan.

If I want to add 4 more RGB fans, what do I need to do? Do I buy some cable splitters? and daisy chain them together to plug them into the board header?

(I mean't to type additional in the title btw!)

I'm confused!

Thanks all.

Yes you can split the headers, you can split both the Static RGB and the addressable (if you have it)

Yep bear in mind that you may need some 4 pin male to male adapters which can be had for a few pounds, these can then also be adapted for the addressable header by pulling out the third pin.

Also you can not daisy chain addressable strips but you can the static strips.
