Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Since there are two variants, which Matrexx 40 are you referring to;

?

The fans in the case are 3pin which means you will need splitters at the very least. A hub would be a step above a splitter.

my motherboard only has two headers
Hang on, are you referring to the ARGB headers or the fan headers?
MATREXX 40 3FS I belive

I don't believe the motherboard has the ARGB headers

What exactly is your consideration against using splitters?
It's simple and easy.

You can also use a fan hub.
