Question Connecting 6 ARGB fans to the motherboard

[silent_control]

Hi, I would like to get 6 such fans for my case:

P12 PWM PST A-RGB | 120 mm A-RGB PWM-Lüfter mit Kabelsplitter | ARCTIC

ACFAN00231A | ARCTICs Semi-passive A-RGB Lfter mit 0-Dezibel-Modus. Ab jetzt in den Farben: weiß und schwarz sowie im Value Pack erhältlich | Kostenloser Versand in Deutschland | Schnelle Abwicklung im ARCTIC Webshop | ARCTIC Store

www.arctic.de

Current/Voltage:
0.4 A | 5 V

My motherboard has 2 ARGB (JRainbow) headers. According to the manual:

"The JRAINBOW connector supports up to 75 LEDs WS2812B Individually Addressable RGB LED strips (5V/Data/Ground) with the maximum power rating of 3A (5V). In the case of 20% brightness, the connector supports up to 200 LEDs."

So... if I make 2 pairs of serially linked 3 fans and connect each pair of three to its own JRainbow connector, will that work? Will it be safe? (according to the specs/manuals of course, because nothing can be guaranteed to be safe)

The electrical intensity (amperage) in each header will be 3*0.4 = 1.2A, so lower than the 3A of the header, right?

What is the make and model of your motherboard? Since you mentioned JRainbow, I'm assuming it's an MSI motherboard.

Quite right, no problem. In fact, the electrical load for lights only is low enough that all six could be connected to one JRAINBOW header: 6 x 0.4 = 2.4 A, less than 3.0 A. As an aside, the same goes for the motor power connections. Those are 0.11 A max per fan, or 0.66 A total, and the mobo fan header limit is 1.0 A. So you are free to make connections as you wish.
