Lights from my current 12V RGB strip is fading out and wish to switch to the 5V ARGB strip. However, I do not have enough 12V ARGB connectors on my motherboard. If I get a pair of ARGB strips, can I connect it to the ARGB fan hub? The hub still has 2 pairs of unused PWM/ARGB headers. Will it work or will it blow the header?

ARGB is 5vDC so must be your light strips.

Why not pick up an ARGB hub? You will need to be specific on your ARGB devices and their power consumption since there's a limit on how much you can daisychain off of one header.
My CPU air cooler is connected via a 3 way daisy chained ARGB cable meant to plug into the +5V ARGB header on my motherboard and another cable powered by SATA. My motherboard only has one remaining ARGB header left which was used by the cpu cooler. I am thinking of adding an ARGB strip. I would need to get a ARGB controller hub for multiple ARGB devices.

Since the ARGB from my cpu cooler is directly powered by SATA, will the lights still work if I plug it out and connect both the SATA cable and ARGB cable into the hub?

Do not wish to waste my money getting a hub and find out later that the lights from my cpu cooler do not work with it.
