My mothboard has got only 1 4 pin but I'm wanting to 2 items that requires that socket.

I am trying to install rgb into my new case.

The case comes with 2 fans already but I'm wanting 6 so with the middle link I posted, I could install all 6 fans but I don't know how to use the First link as i would need that to control my rgb fans.

Any help on how to configure this setup please?
 
If by "one 4 pin" you mean the RGB header on the motherboard, most boards allow multiple things to be connected to that header. What motherboard are you using? Hopefully an ASUS or MSI, if not you'll need a RGB controller.

Worst case scenario, daisy chaining multiple things together with adapters is a valid solution most of the time.
 
I think its the pwn connector, its not rgb.

My motherboard is quite old, before the era of rbg. Its asrock z87 extreme 4.

The third link I posted up has got the controller but I don't know how to set them 2 device up.
