any info in where i can get the above hardware as everywhere in the uk is sold out plus no one wants to post to uk anymore because of Brexit.

One supplier option is HIGHFLOW.NL from Rotterdam.

Try these:

Splitty4 Here

Farbwork 360 Here

If you want to control the fan speeds with Aquasuite you will definitely need an Octo or Quadro (or maybe an Aquaero). With 21 fans, you will probably need at least one Octo but it depends on how you group the fans for PWM speed control. For example, 3 fans on a 360mm rad would typically all be connected to the same PWM port on an Octo.

Also, since you are planning on 6 Splitty4's and 2 Farbwerk360's, you should be aware that currently, there is no synchronization between the Farbwerk360's. I found this out the hard way when I added a second Farbwerk360. One of the Aquacomputer reps posted a few months ago that they would be adding the ability to sync RGBpx ports in a future release but I have not heard anything about this since. I don't know if the sync will be limited to the Farbwerk360 or will also include RGBpx ports on other devices like the Octo, D5 Next, High Flow Next, etc. They did not specify this, or when RGBpx port sync capability would be added.

Farbwerk Versions - Your list says 2 x Farbwerk's. What you actually need is the Farbwerk360 which is for 5VDC ARGB LEDs. Aquacomputer also sells the Farbwerk (no 360) in 2 variants which are for 12VDC LEDs only. There is also the Farbwerk Nano which has a single RGBpx port and is for 5VDC ARGB LEDs. For the LEDs in the Corsair fans, you need the Farbwerk360 or Farbwerk Nano.

If you need more USB2,0 ports, you can get a Hubby7.

First you need a USB extender Hubby 7 Can help you expand USB ports up to 7,
I have 18 external fans. Controlled with aquaero 6XT and 6LT.
The 9 fans in the case are connected to splitty4 for BIOS control.
Not necessarily OCTO or Quadro unless you want to use~

So 6 x splitty4's and 2-3 x Farbwerk 360's for the 21 corsair fans and Aquasuite

The Farbwerk360 can only control the LEDs. The Splitty4 is just a passive board that distributes the incoming signals to the Connectors. It cannot control anything.
If you want to control the Fan speed, you need a Fan controller (Aquaero / Octo / Quadro)

Do you know how many LEDs are in each of the EK components?

The Farbwerk360 has a limit of 90 LEDs per channel. Individual strips cannot be bridged on multiple channels.

Each LL120 has 16 LEDs in it. This means you can put 5 on each channel and there will be space for 10 more LEDs on each channel. 21 of these fans will require 5 channels, so you will need 2x Farbwerk360 at a minimum.

The Corsair GPU block also has 16 LEDs. You can put that on Ch1 of Farbwerk360 #2 along with the lone fan if you want. Otherwise, you could put it on its own channel on #2. This would probably make the wiring the easiest and cleanest.

The EK components could then go on any of the 4 channels on Farbwerk360 #2. You can select the channel(s) that are the easiest and cleanest from a wiring standpoint.

One small note is that there are two versions of the Splitty4. The original does not have the capability to daisy chain multiple Splitty4s. The current/newer version does have this capability. This might not be an issue for you since you're limited to five fans per channel anyway. If you had only one Splitty4 per channel, then you would need 6x Splitty4 and you would be using 6 LED channels. Since you would already have 8 total channels available, this wouldn't really change anything in your wiring.

Ek Quantum Amd 5900x cpu block has 24 led's on a 12v 4pin standard rgb header

For the 12V rgb, you need to buy the old Farbwerk (without 360 in the name)


You need 6x Splitty4, 2x Farbwerk 360, 1x Hubby7.

The Hubby7 has 7 USB Ports. Each 9pin connector on the Hubby7 can handle two USB Devices.

hmm.. can't delete post.. nvm

Just remember, the Farbwerk360's do not sync to each other. This limitation may affect what LEDs you assign to which Farbwerk360.

The Hubby7 has 7 USB2,.0 ports. The main USB port to the mobo and USB port-1 are both single row 5-pin headers. The headers with 2 rows of pins are 2 USB ports each - one with 5 pins and one with 4 pins. USB2.0 only uses 4 pins and ground.

If you plug in a single-row USB cable, there is nothing preventing you from plugging it in backwards. Make sure to note the polarity of the USB cable and the header on the Hubby7 when you plug them in. If you plug the cable in backwards it won't blow up but it also won't work. In this image from the Owner's Manual you can see that USB ports 2&3, 4&5, and 6&7 are all dual row headers.
