So im building a pc with 7 fans inside it. 3fans from my liquidcooler and other 4 are just case fans ill be putting in. My question is I need to use a splitter and I have found a splitter that is 1 way to 4 fan splitter and I have 7 fans. So my question is if I buy it twice and I leave 1 cable empty will there be any problems? because I can attach 8 but im attaching 7... and is it the same for the argb splitters if I just leave a cable not connected because I dont need it?
edit: I have read that if you go above a X amount of amperage on the fanheader you could burn your motherboard with the splitters.. So I went with the casefans that use 0.32 amps x 3 fans is 0.96 so its just below 1 AMP so I could use 1 way to 3 fan splitters per fan header to connect my fans or should I use a 2 way splitter just to be safe?. The question is I watched some YouTube tutorials and people said that some motherboards have more AMP on there headers so my question is how can I see how much AMP per header I have on my motherboard? And is the AMP per fan header the same for the ARGB header and CPU fan header?
Motherboard: MSI MPG Z490 Gaming Plus
Liquidcooler: MSI MAG Core Liquid 360R https://www.msi.com/Liquid-Cooling/MAG-CORELIQUID-360R

or should I skip all this fan splitter stuff and just buy the Corsair Commander Pro with 6 fan connectors than still I have to use 2 way fan splitter but thats okay...
