Hey, i just bought corsair ll120 rgb lights, but now i see i need a hub also..
I connected them to the pc, and i only have
1 x CPU Fan connector(s) (1 x 4 -pin)
2 x Chassis Fan connector(s) (2 x 4 -pin)
in my mobo. My motherboard: https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/Z170-P/specifications/
there is 2 wires from the corsair fans, 1 to fan, and 1 to rgb light.
Can i use any other ports on my motherboard to get power to the rgb? :D

I don't need the feature so i can switch the lights, the whole fan in rgb mode is okay for me.

No, you can't. RGB didn't even become popular until around Z270, and your board doesn't have any kind of RGB or other lighting support at all. You need a third party controller for any RGB control AND it needs to be compatible with the type of connector and addressable/not-addressable, depending on the model of any specific fan.

So, TLDR, nope, you can't. Not natively. Not on that board. Get a controller.
