Using 2 5-to-1 fan splitters on an Asus Z370-P

[pontiac1979]

Hey guys,

I'm upgrading my 120mm radiator to a 360mm (Cooler Master ML360R), and will be buying 6 more fans to match the 3 new RGB fans included with the radiator. I've heard that using too many fans on one fan header can cause some problems. With my current plans, am I going to blow my mobo up by connecting 9 fans via 2 motherboard headers? I guess connecting some directly to the PSU is an option (not knowledgeable about this), but I'm assuming the Cooler Master software won't be able to control the RGB options if I did that?

Note: I'm far from experienced in PC building, so if there's some other (possibly even more convenient?) option for doing this, please do tell.

Thanks

each fan header should be good for 1A, that's max 12W on 12V rail. you want your fans to be less than 10W total on one header to be safe.
there are fan splitter with molex power input that let you control fan speed thru the header while getting power input from the psu
