ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 + MSI B850 Gaming Plus WiFi

GUYSSS Need help with - ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 + MSI B850 Gaming Plus WiFi

Hey everyone, building my first PC and running into a fan header situation. Here's my setup:

Motherboard: MSI B850 Gaming Plus WiFi

it has :

1x CPU_FAN1

1x PUMP_SYS1

4x SYS_FAN1 to 4

Cooler**:** ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro 360

Cables coming out of it:

1x PUMP

1x VRM (small fan on the pump head)

1x cable for all 3 radiator fans combined

Case fans: 5x 4-pin PWM fans

My plan so far:

PUMP PUMP_SYS1

VRM CPU_FAN1 (but I'm not sure for this one maybe can change with Radiator ?)

Radiator fans (x3 on one cable) SYS_FAN1

2x case fans daisy-chained SYS_FAN2

2x case fans daisy-chained SYS_FAN3

1x case fan SYS_FAN4

but I've read that each SYS_FAN header supports around 1A max. The 3 radiator fans on one cable might exceed that. Also daisy-chaining 2 fans per header for the case fans soo is that safe?

Is a PWM fan hub the only real solution here? Or am I overthinking it? Any advice appreciated!
