I have a x370 Asus rog wifi motherboard with 2 rgb headers. One of the headers has been connected by ryzen 2700x CPU cooler. I have 4 rgb led strips daisy chained and 11 enermax rgb fans with 2 control boxes. Using a Y splitter on my second MB rgb header, can I connect my 2 control boxes? Each control box supports upto 8 fans and 2 led strips each. Also both these control boxes comes with it's own molex psu connector. Will this brick my MB?

Recommend to read the MB manual page 1-28 https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/ROG-CROSSHAIR-VI-HERO-WI-FI-AC/HelpDesk_Manual/
and enermax rgb fans manual too ( control box max current = 6A) https://www.enermaxusa.com/product.php?pid=98224255#!/T.B. RGB 12cm/p/98224255

Then you should contact either company to see what they say. And for now, you may just connect the rgb strips into the MB ( make sure they will draw less than 2Amp), and use the remove control to control the RGB fan light, don't use the MB sync yet.
