Hi,
I'm in the process of building a computer with RGB lighting. I will have 6 Coolermaster Masterfan Pro RGB fans that I want to connect to the motherboard, which will be the Asus Z270E (or Z370E when Coffee Lake is released). As I want it to sync up with Asus aura, can I plug the fans into a controller like the Silverstone LSB01 RGB Controller and still have it sync up. Both products are compatible with Asus Aura but since they're from different companies I don't know if it will sync with Asus Aura correctly.
Thanks

It really all comes down to how many LED headers that motherboard has... your cooler master stuff will need a seperate one to link up to Aura, as will your silverstone I believe. So they will all link up... but you may only have 1 header.
The Silverstone controller and the cooler master stuff are most likely not compatible RGB wise... I have never used either brand so i'm not totally sure. Generally different brands of RGB stuff will say they are no compatible just so you will buy their stuff.

The motherboard has 6 Fan Headers and 2 RGB headers. Will I just have to daisy chain the RGB connections together. I will also have another fan for the CPU cooler, will I have to get a splitter for a fan header as well as I will have 7 fans in total.
