Hi guys.
I'm having a hard time finding out how i go about connecting 3 addressable rgb units into 1 addressable rgb header on my new mobo. Maybe someone can shine some light on this issue - which is oddly hard to find any info on by searching the internet!
Mobo: Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Hero Wifi x570
Device 1: Argb cable from AIO/pump head of the Deepcool Castle 360ex (Aura compatible)
Device 2: argb strip (Aura compatible)
Device 3: argb strip (Aura compatible)
First off i know about not overloading headers in order to avoid frying things,but the thing is i can't really find out how much ampere a AIO's header rgb (or this one's in particular) uses. The argb headers on the Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Hero are 3A (5V) each, as per the instructions manual coming with the board. The AIO on the other hand, has these specs:
I don't see any mention about "A" in regards of the addressable lighting, only that it is 5 VDC voltage, which is standard for argb. A little further down i see "2.25W" mentioned - but nothing about ampere. The same goes for LED strips, i can't find any specs about their usage of a.
So my question is: How do i know how many ampere the aio's argb + the 2 argb strips use, in order to not go over the limit of the 3A supported by the argb header on the board?
Also another thing: Would a 4 pin splitter cable (3 way) be ok to use between A) an 3 pin argb header on the mobo and B) one, two or three 3 pin argb devices - as longs as the total ampere of the devices is not higher than what mobo supports? I mean it's basically the same cable, just with one less pin no? Will it work, or does it have to be a dedicated 3 pin splitter cable?
Thanks.
