Hi all. I have 9 140mm Lightwing fans and 1 RGB strip and only one ARGB slot on my mobo. I have a 6 slot argb hub that came with the triple pack. Can some of my fans be daisy chained into the 6 slot hub so everything works off one?

I know motherboard connections directly its about 4? But this is off a hub powered via Sata so won't be an overload issue?

Should be fine, generally the limitation is the number of LEDs, I just brought a Razer Chroma RGB Hub which is also SATA powered, it supports 240 LEDs, im running:

3 x 120mm fans off port 1 (RGB Splitter cable)
2 x 120mm fans off port 2 (Daisy chained)
2 x 120mm fans off port 3 (Daisy chained)
2 x 140mm fans off port 4 (Daisy chained)
2 x 140mm fans off port 5 (Daisy chained)
and finally my water block and pump res combo off port 6 (RGB Splitter cable)

13 devices, 11 of which are fans.

a total of 154 LEDs, plenty of headroom for more.
