Hey guys,
Need your expertise. I have a Liam Li O11 Air case and I am currently filling the case full of fans with the Coolermaster MasterFan Pro RGB fans. There are 12 in total (3 front intake, 3 top radiator Exhaust, 3 bottom intake, and 3 side exhaust). Each MasterFan pro kit comes with three fans and their own individual controller. Here’s the link for the controller:


My question is what is the best way to hook all of these up so I can use the software to control them. Each chained into one header, each set of three with controller off their own individual header? (If so which ones)

My motherboard is the asrock x370 Fatal1ty k4 board. Onboard plugs are (Cpu_Fan1, Cpu_Opt/W_Pump, Cha_Fan1 & Cha_Fan2, Cha_Fan3/W_Pump)

Link for motherboard:

Thanks for your help! Searched all day and all night and couldn’t find any answers.

Yes, just like iCue from Corsair, it is likely to have to be software controlled

It's best to ask Coolermaster how to hook them all up

Though you will need a SATA power cable into the controller, and the USB header cable to put on the USB2.0 header. This way, the SATA gives it power and the USB lets the device be recognised by your motherboard and Coolermaster software. Though looking at the photo of the controller, it only has 4 RGB headers, so you would need either a splitter if that can be done without damaging the controller/motherboard, though I wouldn't recommend putting in a splitter. It's not what I've done with my Corsair RGB LED hub
