My build that I've put together has a lot of rgb elements, but the asrock x370 killer only has three rgb headers, i looked for rgb splitter cables but can only seem to find female to female, what can I do to support an rgb cooler, two rgb fans, rgb light strip, and rgb case led's (phanteks p400s). Also, off topic but is the problem with g.skill rgb trident ram sticks and ryzen cpu's fixed, I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that there was major clocking problems when using these ram sticks with ryzen mobos. Thankyou.

Yeah what you need is definitely an RGB LED splitter. Most, if not all, are female to female wires. So you would need a male adapter at the end of the wires to connect them to the RGB header. I was in the same pickle as you during my build. For me I used these:

Which were very cheap and effective. Only downside was they didn't have the wire in black. For mine I had an Asus ROG Strix Z270F which only had 2 RGB LED headers, so one of em was connected to my DeepCool Captain RGB and the included RGB LED strip, luckily this came with a splitter of its own. The other header had 3 CoolerMaster Pro Air Balance RGB fans and the Phanteks RGB LED adapter connected to the wire above. I'm using the non silent version of your case also, the P400 Tempered Glass. Everything works well and can sync with no issues on my end at least.

What you need is probably 2 Y RGB LED splitters or one like I linked above to connect all your gear. CoolerMaster has an RGB LED trident splitter here: http://www.coolermaster.com/cooling/cooling-accessories/1-to-3-rgb-splitter-cable/

But it's quite expensive in my opinion and any generic splitter will do. It does come with the male adapters included though.

And if you're worried about the power draw, don't. The fans at least will draw power from the fan header and not the RGB header, only the light strip will draw from it and I think your motherboard is able to support it.

Hope this helps!
