Hi, I have a TUF GAMING x570 Plus (Wi-Fi) motherboard. I am wondering how many fans can I connect to my 3 pin header? Right now I have 4 fans connected (3 front intake fans & 1 exhaust fan -All 120mm). I am planning to buy an AIO 360 ARGB. Is it safe to connect all 7 argb fans to my one 3 pin header using splitter?

I take back what I said earlier! It's either 2 or 3A for A/RGB headers. You need to check with the motherboard manufacturer to be sure.
The OTHER headers are 1A, except for the AIO headers, which are 2A. They're not for plugging in LEDs though, so don't do it.
This fancy model runs a whopping 1.4A, so that means just 1 or 2 fans.

It would vary by make and model. For example, this model runs 0.21A, so 9 or 14 of these could be run on the motherboard's ARGB header - if that were physically possible...

Thanks Phaaze, last question. i can't somehow find the exact Amp per fan in this AIO. Can you check it for me please

Negative. It's not stated in their own site for whatever reason.
I found a pic of the back with the model number 'apa1225m12' shown, but it links me to non-LED Silverstone and Enermax fans.
The other thing I was able to gather is that those fans are supplied by the OEM of the cooler, which is Apaltek.

Just buy a fan hub and use your PSU to power the fans and the CPU header on your board to control the speed, problem solved.

Gotta be a bit more specific with this. The OP wants to use multiple ARGB fans, and some hubs do not support ARGB.

Pick up an aRGB controller (or two), which is powered by SATA.
Get a 3:1 aRGB male to female splitter cable.
Connect the single end to the mobo and the other two to the controllers.
Currently using said config to power and light 7x aRGB fans, 2x aRGB led strips and 2x inbuilt case aRBG strips.

These links may not be available in your country, but you'll get an idea of the product.

Which is what I said earlier. You've voted down everybody else's answers as well, which helps nobody.
I'm sure that made you feel quite superior, but it seems you have a bit to learn about posting around here. Also, you've dug up a two month old thread just to get your response in. If anyone is going to do that, it'd be the OP to provide an update, not you to promote the kit you purchased.
