Mixing ARGB / RGB with Case

Hey!

I've got an Asus X370-F Gaming Mobo which has 2x RGB Headers, 1 is occupied by my Wraith Cooler. The other is not in use as it stands. My case came with 4x ARGB fans which obviously don't connect to the RGB headers. The fans work (power wise) but I want to connect them all up so they're in sync (Aura?) with my CPU Fan.

How do I go about this in the best way? I could buy the Cooler Master 3 in 1 and run that as an independent set up with 7 fans. OR buy a new Mobo such as the B450 Aorus Elite?

They're both similarly priced but one is obviously easier to do than the other, unless there's another way?

Ideally a set up which syncs everything I have a steelseries mouse and headset and a corsair keyboard.

Thanks
 
I believe I can daisy chain the ARGB connectors which isn't a problem. I thought there ma by a converter to attach them to the RGB header so they can all run in sync but looks like that's not possible.

I won't be updating the whole PC for a while as it's decent enough for what I use it for (Tarkov at 90FPS, Destiny at about 120 etc) so just trying to figure out which way to go.

I have space for 3 120 Fans in the top of the case which then makes me think hooking up the cooler master 3 in 1 (https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/coolers/case-fan/masterfan-mf120r-argb-3in1/) means all 7 fans (4 existing + 3 new) can all connect to the controller and run that independently from the CPU Aura Sync and would be easier the swapping the motherboard out and effectively setting it all back up, but on the flip side, I don't mind doing it even if it is a ballache.

I'm not massively into the RGB /ARGB, I literally all my set up in Red or responding to game effects / music.
