The description limits ARGB linking to three or four fans. That describes the chain rather than granting capacity on the board, and no universal header allowance is given. The board's own specification governs the second limit.
A stated wiring limit and an available header allowance sound like the same thing, but treating them as one figure is how a chain that reads fine on the box specification ends up overloading a header the manufacturer never described in the first place.
The Amici 5GT product description limits ARGB linking to three or four fans. That figure describes the chain the fan itself supports; it says nothing about how many fans a specific motherboard header can safely power, and no universal header allowance is given anywhere in the product's own specification. The board's own documentation governs that second, separate limit.
"How many fans can be linked together" and "how many fans can a header supply power to" sound like the same question, but they are answered by two different documents. The Amici 5GT's product listing answers the first: three to four fans on one ARGB chain. It does not, and is not meant to, answer the second, which depends entirely on the specific motherboard being used.
Three to four fans is a property of the product: how far a signal reliably passes along the linked ARGB leads before the chain reaches its described limit. It has nothing to do with how much current any particular header can supply, since the fan manufacturer has no way of knowing which board a buyer will pair it with.
The motherboard's own specification sheet or manual states what current each addressable header is rated to supply, typically in amps or milliamps. That figure is set by the board manufacturer, not by AsiaHorse, and it is entirely independent of how many fans the Amici 5GT's own description says can be chained together.
Yes, and this is the situation worth planning around. A chain of four fans, sitting comfortably within the product's stated three-to-four range, can still exceed what a specific header is rated to supply, particularly if the header is older or lower-capacity, or if something else is drawing from the same connection. Passing one check does not guarantee passing the other.
Any lit device connected to the same addressable header counts toward its total draw, not just fans. A strip of ARGB lighting, a lit cable cover, or any other addressable accessory sharing the same header reduces the current available for the fan chain, even if the fans alone would have fit comfortably.
Where a build's total ARGB load, fans and any other lit accessories combined, risks exceeding one header's rating, splitting the load across two or more addressable headers is the standard answer. Most current motherboards provide more than one, specifically to accommodate builds larger than a single chain or header can support on its own.
Yes. Fan headers carry their own current ratings too, which becomes relevant mainly when a splitter is driving several fans from one physical header connection. That is a separate consideration from the ARGB header limit discussed here, governed by the fan header's own specification rather than anything to do with lighting. Check Evetech's case fans section for the current Amici 5GT range, plus case accessories for splitters worth checking against a board's stated ratings before committing to a layout.
