Ok so got my build pretty squared away, but I have way too many ARGB cables and nowhere to plug them in.
My Lian li sl120's came with a Y-adaptor which allowed me to plug in one more thing. Can I just make a distro PCB board to plug all these into or does someone already make a better solution then a bunch of Y adaptors cluttering up my build??
 
Also anyone buy the Asus ARGB strips? I have several but they only have a 3 pin to ARGB connector which you can't plug them into each other only into a Y adaptor.
 
Thanks

    most find splitters & hub/ controller that works with their hardware & with software that is compatible with what they use

    A well placed hub does the trick for me. There are hubs now that have fan and rgb splitters.

    I've been looking at the commander pro also.... It seems like a good option as my Mobo has a corsair connector built in.

    Current Build:
    Ryzen 9 3900XT
    Arctic 420mm AIO
    MSI MEG x570 ACE
    32 GB Trident Z Neo CL16 3600mhz DDR4
    EVGA GTX 980 ACX 2.0
    Sabrent Rocket NVMe PCI 4.0 1TB
    EVGA Supernova G2 850 Gold
    Thermaltake Level 20 XT
     
    Best quote I've ever heard:
    Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio.
