Hi can someone tell me how many phantek rgb fans can run off 1 rgb header this is just the lighting part not the fan itself thanks
 
If you use a hub then possibly as many as you like. I wanted to tidy up the wiring in my case mainly down to the ARGB cables so I bought a ARGB hub. I now have 4x 200mm fans and 3x 120mm fans all having their lighting supplied from just a single 5v ARGB header and controlled by OpenRGB so I don't have to install multiple bits of software to control lighting.
 
Thanks pastymuncher that's a route I was looking at to be honest which hub have you got mate ?
 
Thanks hyburnate I've done that at moment but worried it'll be to much overall

I have a "Multibao 5V 3pin RGB 10 Hub Splitter 50cm SATA Power 3pin ARGB Adapter RGB Fan Extension Hub Controller Gaming PC desktop" that I got from Amazon for less than £7. It seems well put together, neat soldering and it's been problem free. It comes with a decent length cable to connect to the motherboard at one end and the other end requires a sata power plug which is probably how it can control the lighting on 10 fans.

Holy crap those are expensive fans. I could get 5.7 packs of three of my Thermalright ARGB fans or 8 of my ARGB 200mm fans for that price and my pc is silent.

You are very welcome. The sticky pad on the bottom of the hub is a 3M one so make sure it's where you really want it to be before sticking it down as once it's stuck it isn't coming off again in a hurry!!
