Solution
The RGB lightning strip which i bought from the local market
I don't know what type connector it has, and how much power it will draw.

For your 4 Antec Prizm 120 RGB Fans, according the Antec site, the fan will draw power like: FAN: 0.18A±20% ; LED:0.30A±20% https://www.antec.com/product/cooling/prizm-120-rgb.php If they will run at +20%. that means 4 fans will draw 2.3 Amp from the RGB header, and the header will output maxi 3 Amp.

So if the strip will draw less power, and has same connector, you may buy the rgb Y splitter https://www.amazon.com/RGB-LED-Light-Strip-Splitter/dp/B071DHPXDT . Otherwise you will need a RGB LED controller, like this...
