Hi!
I'm building a PC and the motherboard is an MSI B560M PRO-VDH, which has only one RGB 12V connector (the other is the 5V aRGB). I purchased four Scythe Kaze Flex 140mm RGB fans and a Deepcool Gammaxx GTE V2 RGB tower cooler CPU. Also, I bought a PWM Arctic HUB (with 10 fans input).
The PWM cables from the case fans will all be connected to the HUB for power and speed control. But my question is: how to connect all the RGB cables if I only have one header on the motherboard and I don't have an RGB HUB or a splitter?
I just bought an RGB extender cable (with two female ends and adapters to turn it into a male).
I thought about the following: connect all the case fans to each other (daisy chain) and, using the extender, connect this entire "network" to the motherboard RGB header.
But I have the following question: Can I also daisy chain the CPU cooler fan's RGB cable with the case's fans' RGB cables? (the CPU cooler PWM cable goes to the "CPU_FAN" header, as usual)
limitations
Some data for reference:

Some data for reference:
- The motherboard's RGB header supports up to 2 meters of 5050 LED strips, with a maximum of 3 Amps.
- The RGB amperage of each of the case fans is 0.2 Amps.
- Processor Cooler amperage is 0.14 A (I couldn't find the information on the fan current and the RGB separately)
