I have below components and I need to connect one rgb strip(which goes around the inside of the case) and 3rgb fans which comes with the case. But MB has only one header. My concerns are;

1) Can I use a 2way splitter which connects the strip and three rgb fans(by using the included 3way splitter)?
2) Will there be any problems with voltage/wattage?

Motherboard: MSI B360 gaming plus
Case: Cooler Master master box lite 5 rgb
RGB strip: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F272798962122

Here's what your MB specifies.

"The JRGB1 connector supports 5050 RGB LED strips (12V/G/R/B) with the maximum
power rating of 3A (12V).
Please keeping the LED strip shorter than 2 meters to prevent dimming."

So...

Add up the total amps from whatever you are going to connect and keep it under 3.

You can split them any way you want.

According to this i don't think I can connect the strip and the fans to JRGB header. So I think its better to use a separate RGB controller inside the case and connect all the RGB components to it.
