[Massive RGB Case Design - What are the limits?]

For any others who come across this thread, I needed a solution to handle the excessive amount of RGB LED I wanted to incorporate into ASUS Aura so it could all be controlled simultaneously.

The solution that worked for me was to buy:

(1) XSPC splitter - Click Here
(2) Thermaltake TT Sync's - Click Here

Step 1 - Connect the XSPC splitter to the 5v Header (DO NOT CONNECT TO 12V Header) on your MB.
Step 2 - Connect the XSPC splitter to SATA power
Step 3 - Connect all of your RGB Lighting to the TT Sync's following the instruction manuals for them
Step 4 - Connect all of your fan controlls for the TT Sync's
Step 5 - Connect both of the TT Sync's 5v Headers to the XSPC Splitter

This worked for me with two TT Sync's but I imagine that since the power is coming from SATA, you could potentially connect eight TT Sync's to the splitter. But I am no expert on this so I could be wrong. Thanks to Tack for all of his help steering me the right way on this!

They don't sell that hub anymore. What outrageously sh*t marketing from xXSPC

[Riing Trio compatibility]

Hello,

Just wanted to follow up on the statement you found on our website. We have now updated it to be more clear.

As we confirmed the proper voltage requirements, up to 5 Riing Trio fans can be used, I have personal done more, but I would use with caution to have proper safety for your system always.

Okay I did some research. ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero 3-pin 5V RGB headers can connect up to 300 individually addressable RGB LEDs. So if I have the sync controller premium can I connect 6 or 7 Riing Trio fans to it leaving 3 or 2 ports on the TT sync premium controller free? I want to run 7 Riing Trio's to the tt sync hub so i can have ara sync control.
