I am planning a build that has a total of 4 ARGB devices (CPU and GPU waterblock, Active Backplate and Distro Plate)

These 4 devices require the 3 pin 5V ARGB on my motherboard. I only have two of them on my Gigabyte Z690 Aorus Xtreme board.

Do I need a splitter or controller or a hub? Whats the best solution in this case?
 
Solution
Splitter would be easiest/fastest/cheapest, IF you read your MoBo manual and the LED rating of the header, whereby when using the splitter, you don't exceed the limit. If you do exceed the limit when using splitter, go with hub instead.
