I've hit a snag with my latest PC build. After facing major clearance issues with my GPU, I switched cases and now I'm stuck with a fan header problem. I've got three 120mm Antec Connect fans, two NZXT H5Flow case fans, and only one sys_fan header on my B450 A-Pro Max II motherboard. I'm looking for a good power and ARGB fan controller or hub that can help me connect these fans properly. Initially, I thought about getting a new motherboard, but that feels like a waste of money. I'm considering the Thermalright TL-Fan and ARGB Hub. Would that work well for my setup?

Just throwing this out there, but this is why I say building PCs isn't like playing with Legos. There are a lot of details to keep an eye on. And are you sure you only have one sys fan header? That's kind of unusual!
I recently went with the Thermaltake CTE 750, and it can fit so many fans. It's great for builds if you're worried about clearance and cooling. If you tend to have issues like these, getting a larger case can really save you some headaches in the future.
Check out the Thermalright Fan and ARGB HUB. It seems like it supports both the 3 pin and ARGB fans you have. Might be a good fit!
Sounds like a solid choice! It seems to cover all the bases for what you need.
Honestly, I don't see where the problem is. Maybe a fan splitter could help? They're pretty cheap on Amazon, around five bucks. Might be worth a shot!
I was surprised too! I think I rushed a bit during assembly, and now I’m stuck with these issues.
