Question Question on RGB Lighting

So this is a little bit of a different question about how to get more power out of the on-board RGB header.

I have an ASUS Prime Z390-P with one 4 pin RBG header on the bottom. It uses the ASUS Lighting Control software (NOT Aura).

My issue is that I have quite a lot of LED cables around my system and it seems that some on the ones at the end of the chain arent the right color because the blue light underperforms on them when I turn on other colors.

I think this is a lack of power issue, is htere any way to add more power or something?

That maybe the problem. According to the manual, page 1-11, the RGB header can support up to 3Amp or no longer than 3m strip.

Check out your strip specification. If your strip can draw more than 3Amp power, you have to buy other RGB controller, stop use the strip with the header, otherwise the strip can over draw power from the header, and it will kill your MB.
