Yes. The ASH-S1 carries separate banks for fan speed and for addressable lighting, so a single R349 unit covers both. The remote drives the lighting side. That combination is what distinguishes it from a splitter that only distributes one signal.
A hub that only manages lighting is a splitter with extra branding, and a lot of sub-R400 options fall into exactly that category. The ASH-S1 is not one of them - it carries genuinely separate banks for fan speed and for addressable lighting, both driven from the same R349 unit.
Yes. The ASH-S1 covers both jobs from a single R349 unit: nine PWM ports handle fan speed and nine 5V 3-pin ports handle addressable lighting, with the bundled remote driving the lighting side through presets, brightness and effects. That combination is what separates it from a splitter that only distributes one signal without any control attached.
It is worth being specific about what "covers both" means here, because plenty of budget hubs use the word loosely. The ASH-S1's fan bank carries nine four-pin PWM ports, each capable of adjusting individual fan speed rather than just switching power on or off. The lighting bank carries nine 5V 3-pin addressable ports on entirely separate wiring from the fan side, and everything plugged into those ports together must stay under the hub's 377-LED ceiling. Nothing about the fan bank affects the lighting bank or the reverse - they are independent systems sharing one enclosure and one SATA power connection.
The included remote is where the "control" half of the answer lives. On the lighting side it offers ten brightness levels and ten effect levels across twenty stored presets, plus a Color-Learning mode listed as a separate feature. On the fan side, ten speed levels are available directly, alongside an auto-temp mode that adjusts fan speed based on conditions rather than a fixed setting. A third mode, motherboard sync, hands lighting control over to the board's own RGB software if that suits the rest of the build better than the remote.
Nothing here is sold separately - the remote, both banks of nine ports, and the magnetic mount all come as part of the one unit. That is worth noting against hubs that charge extra for a remote or ship without one at all. Browsing Evetech's case fan range gives a sense of what nine PWM ports could realistically be feeding in a typical build, and lining it up against the NZXT fan controller is worth doing before settling on a combined hub.
Yes. Nine four-pin PWM ports handle fan speed and nine 5V 3-pin ports handle addressable lighting, as distinct groups.

Through the hub, which offers ten speed levels, or through its auto-temp mode which adjusts based on temperature.
A motherboard-sync mode is among the three listed, so the lighting can follow board software instead of the remote.
They are separate, so speed settings have no bearing on lighting and vice versa.
No, the remote is included, so the R349 price covers the hub and its control together.

The Pro row is joined by a modular interlock. That is a physical connection between fan frames rather than a lead running between them, and it is what produces the single cable run. The row is assembled in order rather than wired freely.

Red and black is one of the longest-lived colour schemes in PC building. A restrained accent survives component changes better than a full red build, since components change more often than cases. Keeping it in the cables makes revising easy.

No. Extensions join the leads already attached to the unit, so a fixed-cable supply is fine. That is the practical difference between an extension and a replacement cable set, and it is why this R549 kit suits older builds as readily as new ones.

A single Amici 5GT is R199, which makes keeping one as a spare inexpensive for a build you intend to hold for years. Fan ranges get replaced. Having a matching unit put aside avoids a mismatched fan in a visible row later.

The original lead stays in the supply, and its far end now meets the extension instead of the socket. Nothing is removed. The AsiaHorse piece is male-to-female, so the factory cable is pushed out of sight and the sleeved 30cm section takes the visible run.

The 61.5 CFM figure describes what the fan moves and has no relationship to how the ring looks. They are separate specifications. Comparing two fans on airflow will not tell you which one lights the build more effectively.

INNO3D AWS-511Z-R1 is a configurable Xeon workstation platform, not one fixed gaming PC. Memory channels and graphics capacity depend on the chosen parts. Ask for an itemised build so the tower photograph does not become your assumed specification.
The pattern of failure locates the fault. One dark device among lit ones points at that device. Everything after a point going dark points at the link before the first dark item, since chains fail forward.

Decide which connection you will need during cleaning before the row is tied down. An interlocked row comes apart differently from a cabled one, and the output run is the usual access point. Leaving that reachable keeps a clean simple.
