So with my Corsair iCUE 465x case, since it comes with 3 ll120 fans, i am planning on buying 3 more. My mobo doesnt have enough 4 pin connector slots, so i was going to buy 2 1 to 3 splitter cables to use all 6 fans from 2 motherboard connectors. Am i able to do that without the commander pro? With these fans, each has 2 connectors. One goes to the lighting node that comes with the case, and the other is the power connector. Can i just get 2 splitter cables with 3 connectors and be able to run all 6? Or would i need a commander pro? dont really want to use 75$ on something that i can just buy splitter cables for.
 
Solution
The lighting node is for the RGB lights and yes you can run all the 6 fans with the splitters, i heard that the header on the mobo is 1A you can't plug more than that and the single LL120 fan has 0.3A so you can do it
