[SOLVED] Will I be able to use Aura Sync fans if I only have "rgb strip" header

I've got some parts on the way, and I guess I could just wait until everything gets here and answer this question for myself, but I'm really curious. I Can't find the answer online anywhere.

I have an ASUS B360M-A motherboard that I got with a super cheap Mobo/CPU combo deal at Micro Center. I didn't even have a use for it yet, just grabbed it because it was a good deal.
And, a few weeks ago I back-ordered a Metallicgear Neo Air case which comes with 2 Skiron 120mm RGB front fans. (I also picked up another Skiron fan for the back). When I got word that the case was finally on it's way to me, I went ahead and bought all of the other stuff I need for a new build. Since I already had the Mobo and CPU just sitting here, I figured why not just use those. I didn't think to check if the motherboard had rgb headers for the fans until just now.

The motherboard doesn't have specific Aura headers but it does have a 12V 4 pin RGB header which they call "RGB Strip Header" in the manual. The fans all have 4 pin connectors as well. It seems to me you should be able to run the fan LEDs off this "strip" header, right? If I connect all my fans together and connect the main to the RGB strip header, Is that going to work? I'll find out in a couple of days, but I'm curious if anyone else has tried this.

Yes it will. Not this one exactly but it's an idea of what you can use for the fan RGB connectors. The RGB headers are usually rated to about 3 watts.

The fans all have daisy-chained RGB cables, so I was assuming I could just connect them all together without the need for a splitter, right? Or, no?

Yes, that will work.
