How To Install Lian Li Strimer Plus RGB Cables + Review & How To Use

[@BuildsWithV]

Thank you all so much for watching! I recently released some merch through teespring and it would mean a lot if you could check it out and comment to let me know what you think. Also if you have any suggestions feel free to reply as well. Link: builds-with-v.myteespring.co

[@haziqkel]

Did you buy 2 lian li RGB just like in this video ?

[@justinedge5061]

@Haziq Kel don't buy it bc it's junk bc it's doesn't ever work on Asus motherboards

[@BuildsWithV]

@@justinedge5061 I’ve used it on Asus motherboard and it worked just fine

[@vaynecounter3509]

Thats so true

[@wyatttaylor3800]

this is probably the simplest but most informative video I've ever watched, this is an amazing video!

[@BuildsWithV]

Wyatt Taylor Thank you so much 🙏

[@wagecuckwojak2394]

Agreed, simple but great way to show how the controller work with split screen👌🏼👏🏼

[@wagecuckwojak2394]

I also just orderd these to my GPU and and the 24-pin to my new build cuz of your video, great to know that you dont ”have” to plug it into the motherboard but instead just run it with the little controller that came with it, cuz my motherboard would’nt have had enough RGB-Headers:)) so thx alot, i owe you a subscription :P

[@BuildsWithV]

@@wagecuckwojak2394 Nice! Yeah I like how they gave us more than just one option. I appreciate it 🙏 Thank you

[@wagecuckwojak2394]

@@BuildsWithV thx again for the review! 🙏🏻

[@fuckingUtubeisgay]

probably the only video that shows how its properly installed.

"These cables come with the cables" *hmm yes, the cable here is made of cable* (Not hating btw this vid was good)

[@BuildsWithV]

😂😂😂 Made my day. Thanks for watching 😊🙏

[@sxtexvn2993]

lmao

[@ChristosLouridas]

Bruh I thought the exact same thing... haha awesome. Nice video though, ofc I'm watching my pc on the desk. Looks cool xD

[@DeepakVerma-pk6mf]

perhaps the most detailed and clearly explained video I came across in pc building Nive work V keep it up :)

[@BuildsWithV]

Thank you so much 😊

[@bornagain2641]

Don't get around much?

[@ivanmichaelgonzales7873]

Wow I been looking on how to install these. Didn’t know you can just plug them into the PSU cables. Thank you so much for making this video! I subbed!

[@BuildsWithV]

Glad this helped. Thank you for watching and the sub 😊

[@abeagil]

Does that mean they don’t need the sata cables?

[@boarhead8555]

You gained a sub simply because no PC build tutorial could help me find where to connect my SATA cable 😂 but your random video that showed up in my recommendations did !!

[@BuildsWithV]

That’s awesome! I’m glad it helped you out 😅 Thank you for watching and the sub 🤘

[@stvnellis16]

Thank you for the vertical GPU instructions, the in box slip doesn’t do that great a job!!

[@herbzeitenberg2973]

Thanks for the super video. You’re a lifesaver. This is one of the best RGB installation videos that I have ever seen, so thanks again...... keep up the great work.

[@mihirarya8601]

Thank you so much for this video! It’s extremely well-made. I had two quick questions: 1. Can you skip the ARGB cable and only have the SATA plugged in if your motherboard does not support ARGB? 2. If your GPU has a single 8-pin port, can you remove half of the cables and reposition the remaining to be in the center of the LED strips? Thanks!

[@BuildsWithV]

Thanks so much. Yes you can plug in only the sata cable and everything will work and yes you can move the 8-pin to be centered and only use half of it.

[@ravell2854]

If your mobo doesnt support argb then.... whats the point of buying an argb cable extension? you will pay premium for a simple cable extension

[@frostyybeann]

@@ravell2854some mobos don’t have the 5v argb plug, only the 12v which is what he probably means , I have the same issue.

[@atomic_time_traveler4626]

This video was amazing & incredibly helpful! Appreciate the work you put into this & the detail you went through for it!

[@BuildsWithV]

Happy I could help 😊 Thanks for watching 🙏

[@NewRyoheiOFC]

You saved me with your video, I'm Brazilian, I was looking for videos like yours in several places, you taught that if we use the board vertically, we should invert the RGB side, and that's what I was looking for, thanks, I already liked it !

[@acidwizard6528]

I just got these and installed them today. Thanks for making this video as it helped me flip around the RGB cable for my GPU. I had no trouble getting the 24 pin to work, but couldn't figure out why my triple 8 pin cable was backwards and how to fix it without breaking anything. It's all back together and looks awesome. Good luck to anyone else installing these, it's worth it if you are an RGB enthusiast.

[@spawn7899]

Can you put white color or any custom color

[@acidwizard6528]

@@spawn7899 It has all the standard LED colors and several different patterns. White is an option and for each color you can choose a pattern, the speed of that pattern and the brightness. This is if you use the controller that comes with the strimers. You can also connect it to your motherboard and control it through software which should allow you to make your own custom color, although at the cost of using the excellent patterns that are designed explicitly for the strimers.

[@cann4162]

Thank you! I started my rgb journey but I got hella confused, after this now i got the basic understanding now. Thanks again.

[@BuildsWithV]

Noon m That’s great! I’m glad I could help. Thank you for watching 🙏

[@gabrielsummerfield3182]

Im still confused what if you have 1 8 pin port and 1 6 pin port on your gpu

[@BuildsWithV]

@@gabrielsummerfield3182 just plug in the 8 pin and then only plug in 6 pin. Leave 2 pins unplugged.

[@jono202]

This is exactly what I was looking for, thanks for putting this together.

[@BuildsWithV]

Awesome! Glad I could help 😊 Thank you for watching

[@guillaumelm8853]

Man I swear during the whole video I though Matt Daemon was explaining to me how to plug strimer plus V2 😂😂 Your voice and the way you talk is just exactly the same it's crazy

[@BuildsWithV]

That’s pretty cool 😅 never thought about that

[@Atag012]

Thanks for this, wasn’t sure how to flip the cables around on the 8 pin

[@BuildsWithV]

You’re very welcome, thank you for watching 🙏

[@tanh3332]

Literally the first video i’ve come across that is actually informative and straight to the point!

[@BuildsWithV]

Glad I could help 😊 Thanks for watching 🙏

[@stefanlaterra5797]

Amazing video, however with the controller being inside my case, hard to access it for the buttons so even though it is better, I can imagine using the MOBO software would be far more convenient.

[@ndollas4306]

Awesome video! I was really confused on how to install these to my build until I watched this 👍👍

[@BuildsWithV]

Glad I could help! Thank you for watching 🙏

[@llcoolhwip2217]

Really great video man! I love how well you explain everything and straight to the point 🍻

[@BuildsWithV]

Thank you so much 🙏

[@nivrag00]

THANK YOU! I didn’t know the rgb came off of the cables! know thinking back i’m dumb, but sitting here at nearly 1 AM trying to figure out if 180 degree adapters are the move. i have an EVGA 3080 and it has a 24 pin, but lian li has a 24 pin one, but ever since i got it i had to make it weird since it has standard pins the have the clip at the bottom. thank you sir!

[@whoareyou56101]

Thinking of getting these but I gotta upgrade my motherboard first. Currently rockin a old budget asus h310.

[@wickysmall8607]

I like that you took the time to go through all type of connections offered. Great stuff!

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching 🙏

[@Loves2spooch123]

Most detailed and informative video, yet simple to understand. Amazing job, mate. Thank you for showing both the controller and software side of thigs.

[@Ryan-re1rs]

Thanks for the help. Everyone else just shows them working, we know what they look like and bought them because of that. Its nice to see how they hook up and options of hooking them up..

[@BuildsWithV]

You're very welcome! Thanks for watching 🙏 Those reasons are some of the main reasons I started this channel

[@ivanwill]

Another great video, now, don’t slow down 😁 I am a little confused. You stated that you can simply connect the SATA for power, and you made it seem like there was no need to connect ANY of the RGB cables. But, if you did not, you would not be able to control any of the lights/colours, right? Or would that simply be done via the controller?

[@BuildsWithV]

Thank you 🙏 so the only cable needed is the sata power cable. The lighting is controlled with the controller. Optionally you can also connect the addressable RGB cable so you can switch from controller to software control (if you wanna mess with more lighting effects).

[@omeryesildere]

Bro thanks for the video! I bought the products LITERALLY after finishing you video. I had a lot of doubt about the compatibility, but thanks to your efforts on this video, I have 0 questions in my mind right now. Also horizontal vs vertical cpu cable part was very useful, i will change my vertical gpu to the horizontal one. Thanks again!

[@Mordakar]

Look at that fricken rats nest. I have one of my own. Can't wait to pick up some of these for myself.

[@Prometeo241]

Hello! Thanks for your video, very helpfull! That extra cable you showed for the 8-pin cable was the answer I was looking for haha I'm getting the 8-pin only. Thanks!

[@BuildsWithV]

Nice! Glad I could help 🙌 Thanks for watching 🙏

[@bryancapella4591]

Hey man, dude video! I recieved the cables aswell today for my build in the Lian Li o11 xl my case when the gpu connectors x3 8pin working? (waiting 3090)

[@BuildsWithV]

Thank you 😊 Yes it will still work no problem but you’ll have to plug in one regular 8-pin since these only have 2 8-pins.

[@vednar99]

@@BuildsWithV SO they take 2 slots in the PSU? Because my GIGABYTE 3090 only takes two 8 pin. So i can get this!

[@BuildsWithV]

@@vednar99 yes this will work no problem

[@papasmurf5598]

Great video ! I’m going to buy some ASAP. I just bought 1,000 dollars worth of RGB Corsair QL Fans and now I need these cables. Your Build looks good. Mine’s gonna have 14 case fans with a mix of 120mm,140mm & 200mm RGB Fans. It’s going to look like the Sun. I have an Aorus z590 Mobo with 9 fan headers so will use splitters or whatever it takes to put all these fans inside. Push pull on the NZXT 360 Radiator. View 51 TG Snow case has tons of room and lots of space in the back to hide the cables.

[@BuildsWithV]

That’s going to look amazing! Thanks for sharing and if you don’t mind sharing a photo of the build when it’s setup feel free to dm me on Instagram @buildswithv

[@SouthernCannibal]

Where I'm kinda confused is the rgb splitter.. do i need that to get the strimmer plus to work?

[@ComdZero]

Yes, I have the same problem. I connect it to a splitter. It makes all my other RGBs does not light up.

[@StevenMussels]

Thanks for the video guide of flipping the connectors - made me realise i want to get this working with my factory PSU Cables so i can avoid extensions but keep the lighting :D

[@Nyexcellente]

I was stuck between these and the xpg. Thanks for clearing the choice up!

[@BuildsWithV]

Glad I could help 🙏

[@OhItsThat]

I came here hoping you’d demonstrate flipping the cables. Thanks man. I have these on my Strix OC 2080ti that has the clips facing up. On my other rig I have a EVGA 3080ti and it has the clips facing down. Now I know how to to flip it. I wish I could control these with iCue.

[@Srism-leet]

Great vid, wanted to double check to see where I had to put the controller because I think it’s annoying that you have to take your case panel off to change the color

[@BuildsWithV]

On my most recent build I stuck it inside my case with some adhesive. It’s easier than taking the back panel off since I don’t have to move the pc to take the front panel off but i can’t find a better spot

[@toriqsabri]

Great guide! I was considering these cables but i got treated to a good explanation on RGB instead!

[@jordanjordan3353]

the laugh on the end when says ; i know allot of people dont care for rgbs but (then the laugh) i do , had me laughing so hard cuz i can relate 100% to that xD thx for the vid and information :)

[@xStriker888]

Great video man! FYI Lian li do have their own software for the strimmer and fans called L-Connect 3. You can control all cables and fans through that software,

[@tibbyYT5135]

thank you i have been looking for these for forever

[@pikkon38]

Another side note is if you hooked both the 24 pin and dual 8 pin into the controller from the 24pin, then plug that controller into your motherboard head, and then hold M1, or maybe M2... or one of the buttons, itll sync both with your motherboard

[@BuildsWithV]

Yeah that’s correct. Thank you, I don’t remember if I mentioned that in the video. Thanks for watching as well 🙏

Outstanding. Much appreciated as I am days from putting these in a new build and was totally wondering if the rgb to mobo connector was able to be used with the controller as well or if I had to choose one or the other. Flipping the GPU cables was a huge tip as well. Thanks

I’m glad I could help 🔥 Thank you for watching 🙏

If I turn off the PC the effects keep it?, great video bro it helps me to choose those cables, thanks a lot!

[@2.Cuzzzz]

you should change your fans to lian li sl120. I just know that they would fit your bulid a lot better.

[@blade08th]

still very useful saving for the build

[@aaronhill3943]

I believe there is a cable in the Lian Li ARGB Cable Kit that can adapt the MB RGB three-pin header cable into the three-pin plug (clip-style) so that you can plug them directly into the Uni-Hub and use the L-Connect software to drive them. I have the cable kit on order so I plan to try it out when it gets here.

[@BuildsWithV]

That’s what I heard as well but unfortunately couldn’t try it yet

Hey!! Great video was considering buying these cables and this explains so much about them!! I was also wondering about your GPU tho! I am concerned about my gpu being super close to the glass and breaking it on my O11 case I see you have a pretty big card and the O11 case too! So I was wondering if you ever noticed anything bad with that situation with your glass getting scary hot or anything, might vertically mount my gpu so that chance doesn’t happen and it would look better in general too but thanks for the video really helps me understand a bunch more:)

[@MatchaMan]

your glass won't break at those temps. even if its super cold outside of the case and super hot inside. unless the air in your pc is like 100 degrees and your room is below zero then you should be worried

[@flow6676]

[@mikey2111]

SignalRGB can do a lot more with these strimers.

[@ers-tj4to]

Thanks for posting this video! I’ve got a question about the 24-pin cable. Would I still be able to route cable on a motherboard with its 24-pin sockets facing the right side of the case? I know that on most motherboards the 24-pin is facing outward which then allows for that nice curved look from the strimer cable. Would that still be case on motherboards with the 24 pin facing to the right of the case? Great video man!

[@abid3142]

Hey V, just had a quick question. At 3:20 I see you can completely remove the RGB element from the included cables, can you also do this on the 24 pin cable? I wanted to remove the included cables and just attach the RGB part to my custom sleeved cables. Ps - great informative video - keep up the good work!

[@BuildsWithV]

I believe the 24-pin can also be completely taken apart. The reason I say “I believe” is cause I haven’t actually tried it but the cables seem to both be made the same way. I’d assume the 24-pin is also able to be flipped because some motherboards would need it flipped. Thank you so much 😊
