Hi Guys !
This is my first topic at this forum so my apologies if I'm not asking the right way
I'm currently building my 1st RGB PC. Without knowing how it was going to work, i owned several rgb components :
Corsair HD120 fans with controller (i think i wont be able to connect them to the mobo)
An aigo CPU water cooling Aura sync ready
A led strip Aura ready
My case is an pantheks p350x Aura ready
My motherboard is a Gigabyte aorus z390 pro, which has two rgb headers.
Good news : They'll work with both 12 & 5V, and all my peripherals that can be connected to the mobo are aura ready.
Bad news : I have 3 peripherals to connect to only 2 rgb headers on the mobo.
Question 1 : The Z390 Master features two RGB led strips headers and two digital led strips headers. What's the difference between those ? Which one should I use ?
This is shown on pages 30 & 31 in this manual : http://download.gigabyte.eu/FileList/Manual/mb_manual_z390-audio.pdf
Question 2 : I actually have 3 devices to connect to 2 headers. I spotted a rgb header splitter from Cooler Master. Is that a good solution (assuming that all the peripherals on the same headers are all 5v or 12v). Is there any risk ?
Again, I'm not new to computer science but totally new to rgb customisation so any help will be welcome !
Thank you very much
