Question the maximum allowable current from 2 argb connectors is 3 amps or 6?

[Sergius]

Since a load of 3 amperes is allowed per 1 connector, an LED strip that consumes 3.6 amperes cannot be connected. But if one part of it is connected to 1 connector, and 2 to the second, then there will be no problems? in fact, the question is more about how it works on the motherboard, is the power circuit paralleled on it, or does each have its own 3 Amp line to the motherboard controller?

Your post appears to be a homework like question. No way to really know from this end.

What do you think and why?

Show your work and calculations.

Plus, update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

What connectors? Diagram? References?

Include the LED strip information: make, model, specs, references/links.

Be specific about the connectivity: parallel or series?

More information needed.

the motherboard model is asus strix 690i. A-Data XPG PRIME ARGB LED STRIP. the question is how the motherboard works. each separate 3 pin is independent or converges into one power path, and the total current, despite the 2 connectors, cannot exceed 3 amps.

This was a question more likely to be sent to Asus not on a forum.

Agree with @Dragos Manea

Also:

Motherboard Manual

(Do verify that I found the applicable User Manual)

See Pages 1-14 and 1-15.

What motherboard connectors are you planning to use?

Note the different header voltages (5 and 12). Also the pin differences (3 and 4).

And match the available connections to the LED strip documention and installation instructions. Map the pins one by one.

Also: details matter. For example from Page 1-14 note the requirement for a front panel SATA card.

If there are still questions about the allowed/supported connections and amperage then contact Asus.

Attempting to work around the amperages may end very badly. Badly meaning, sparks, smoke, burning....
