so i'm new to argb fan headers, the mobo i bought has one 5v3a argb header, can i connect all of the fans (total of 5) to 1 argb header? 2 of the fans from thermalright and 3 fans from id cooling...

can you guys check? thank you
 
Solution
The ARGB lighting header is capable of maintaining upto @ 72 seperate led lights. So 'fan' count will depend on the amount of leds actually present in the fan. You could daisy chain 18 fans, if they only had 4 leds each, whereas if the fan has 11 or 13 leds, then you'd only daisy chain 6 or 5. Most ARGB fans have 11-13 leds, some older/cheaper fans have @ 9

5-6 fans to one ARGB header should be good enough. You can go parallel or daisy chain.
