I did a full build last year. All Lian Li. O11, infinifans and strimer. I love it. You can adjust the brightness down so it's not obnoxious. It's easy to change the theme of the computer. If you use colored cables you are locked into 1 theme. If you go neutral color theme and use rgb the possibilities are greatly expanded.

There are RGB LED's that use a serial link to send the color data down the line of LED's. To do animation correctly it needs to know how many LED's are in the line. That is probably why the connectors are different on the controller.

[@alexyoon-sungcucina7895]

[@charlieharrington2024]

I have the Gen 1 Strimer plus, and they did come with the extension cable. But when I changed my GPU to vertical mount, there was no way to run the cable that didn't block other components, so I just took it off and 3d-printed a stand for it, so now it sits in front of the GPU and hides the PCIe extender. I also converted them to use micro arduino boards that emulate Corsair lighting node pros so I could integrate fully with SignalRGB. It was a bit of extra work, but worth the outcome.

[@trypwyre9024]

Darn.

[@Leaky_Spigot]

My strimmer cost me an extra $10 so I could I get converter cables to Corsairs lighting nodes. It axes the ability to adjust each cable (treating the whole thing a single row of LEDs), but I only have one software to run and it’s fully synced with everything else. Completely worth the trade off.

Hard pass on the unicorn poop! Won’t buy into the 40 series cards until they make it with a connector that won’t separate just from a wire getting a slight tug. If 50 series cards have a 12vhp, again I will pass. Just because you shrink the board size, you don’t shrink the conductor size when it comes to power delivery. I will stick with 30 series until mfgr’s get their heads out of their keesters.

[@christophergrace1085]

I have a set for the GPU and 24-pin. It is cheesy, but I have it pretty basic for lighting. I got them mainly to help fill out some of the empty space in my case. They are definitely overkill, but if you set them on the slower speed in one 2 two colors, they do look kind neet.

[@Leaky_Spigot]

I picked these up for my build with a little misunderstanding about them. I wanted to eliminate excess cables coming from the PSU and thought that's what they were for but they are just extensions that still use those base cables. So I still had to cable manage everything and I considered not using them but once I got them setup I was like yeaaaah this is dope I love em.

I feel like a lot of hate comes from the fact that people forget you can adjust brightness and color (most of the time). That bright vomit of blinding rainbow patterns is showcase settings.

4:35 They have it set to be for a certain number of LED's.

[@reverend11-dmeow89]

I am confident bringing-up the bit about 5V LED and 12V LED difference between the two: nearly identical, BUT 5V LED headers on motherboards today uses the three-wire cable, Ground, Data, 5V. Each SMD color-changing LED the 5050 portion of this dynamic duo has the WS2812B Addressable Red Green Blue LED Controller chip, literally the tiny speck of Silicon with its custom circuitry designed to be powered by the Ground & 5Volt lines, with the Data line using some mildly complicated, but readily understandable shift registers which enables the one-wire data communiaction methodology, while the shift registers job is is stack one bit after the previous into an 8-bit or 16bit or 32bit wide chunk of parallel data, which then gets turned into the individual Voltage level feeding Red at its Intensity, Blue at its, and the humyn eye's most sensitivity is Green. The contrast between which color has what level, like 100% Green plus 100% Green gives Yellow IIRC anyway Just Don't Release The Magic Smoke

[@ranjnijan3446]

When your cables need cables moment.

[@ai-aniverse]

It seems that you need the control box because the LEDS in these are more than the 120 that are normally supported. So the lian li controller enables full control of the non standard count. If you plug them into the 5v header, it just turns into a serial led device and you dont have full control over everything. Experience: buying all the wrong things until i got to the right one 😅

[@TheRealJoelKolb]

The switch is for a different variation of the GPU cable. That 12V high power cable is fairly new. Originally they had a 2x 8 pin or 3x 8 pin GPU cable. They each had their own connectors with different numbers of pins because they each have different numbers of LEDs. Those correspond to the 2 connectors on the GPU side of the control box. The control box can only support one GPU cable and you use the switch to set the control box to which version of the cable you're using. The 12V high power cable has the same number of LEDs as the 3x 8 pin cable so you use that connector on the controller. The reason the GPU cable only lit up part way when you connected it to the connector for the 24 pin ATX power cable is because the 24 pin cable has fewer LEDs in it than the GPU cable and the software is set to only light up the correct number of LEDs for the 24 pin cable on that channel.

[@Oumeic]

I picked up the XPG branded 24 pin version of this at a local second hand store….brand new sealed in the box. Sat on it for awhile and finally decided to use it on a entry level gaming rig I built to sell. I never got so many clicks on a sell advert before. I had so many people wanting to buy it. Needless to say it sold early fast. The system was a 8th gen Core i7 with a RX 580 4GB graphics card and 16 GB of ram…..nothing too special. I would suggest to anyone who flips a PC now and again to keep one of these on hand. You don’t need a expensive fancy one. These things get the clicks and there are a lot of buyers out there who are genuinely attracted to RGB like a mosquito to a bug zapper. Just a suggestion…

[@bulufish8208]

The reason you need to plug it into a certain port is because you have to set the strip length in the program. The buffer size of the incoming bytes matches the size of the strip. Reference: Arduino FastLED, Adafruit Neopixel, etc.

[@Parmenedes]

I personally love the strimer plus v2 cables and have been using them since they came out (including the new 12vhpwr cable for my 4090, which I've had zero issues with). They are one of the best-looking RGB components imo. Sure, they're unnecessary, but RGB in general is unnecessary but a nice option for people who like it.

[@lawrencekifer8811]

Yes, necessary but... I completed my newest build at the beginning of the year. First time i could afford everything i wanted at one time. I decided to spoil myself and I installed the strimer v2 24 pin power and 8 pin gpu extensions just because i could. I set them them to static blue and it looks great. Cant imagine a build without them now. However, It was a wiring nightmare integrating into a lian li 216 with three additional rgb fans on top. Steep learning curve since i've never installed rgb. Apparently just because things are made by the same company doesn't mean it works well together out of the box. After alot of frustration, i now have two control boxes installed. It was a pain to do but looks great now. Not looking forward to redoing it after my next upgrade but i will.

I have an ATX strimmer going to my motherboard and it looks pretty cool. It serves no purpose other than making me smile every time I turn my rig on to game.

[@scottwatrous]

I thought about getting those a few months back for my new build but I agree that the way it looked with the GPU cable with the gap, that was not gonna fly, esp in a midsizecase where half the cable would be hidden, and the glass is so tight to the GPU anyway. If they had their RGB go directly into a 90 degree plug for low-profile install, then they'd maybe have something real interesting. I just ended up with some braided cablemod stuff that matched my build and it looks much better at the end of the day.

Yes, I also find that the 24pin looks better than the 12v GPU one because of the space but It still looks good over all. Tip, use the 12v cable that came with your PSU to plug into your GPU. The RGB lights can be uncliped and be moved to another cable.

[@sergie2822]

I had these, used the L-connect 3+ with my V2, only issue is, when I reboot or start from a cold boot, it goes full on rainbow vomit mode until it hits the windows login to show my color scheme. It was pretty annoying. I ended up using the old V1 box since I didn't find a solution to the issue and stuck to the default solid color... It might have changed now though.

[@mintgreen292]

I wanted these pretty badly for a while when I was doing my last build but they were so pricey. After I looked at them in more builds I realized they really overshadowed almost everything else in the case. I ended up getting some cheap RGB cable combs that bring in a nice glow! Plus I got to use normal paracord extension cables that are way more flexible and easy to use.

[@TheAshfyr]

I thought about getting them for my build, since I use a 7900XTX and don't have to worry about the 12VHPWR issue. At that cost though, I decided that just regular cables look fine.

[@Scr00ples]

The reason, most likely, that the cables go to specific channels in due to the addressing of the leds. For example, in WLED, it will only light up the total number of LEDs that are set in the software. I believe it's save to assume that they have a firm limit of LEDs per port.

[@theondono]

The reason for that difference is that they are using addressable rgb leds on that cable to be able to do effects, but wanted to save on a return cable. This means there’s no way of automatically counting how many LEDs a strip has. The low-tech solution: just hardcode the LED count according to the connector.

[@Goblue734]

I honestly love this cable I’ve been running it with a ROG STRIX 4090 no heating or melting issues whatsoever. I think it’s all about if the users and idiot and doesn’t plug it in all the way.🤷🏻‍♂️ I have it connected to the native high-powered 16 pin cable that came with my ROG Thor power supply

Great Job Phil "Deploy Flash Bang" Prefect Line LMFAO

[@BenieTheDragon]

"THROWING FLASHBANG" was far more funnier than it needs to.

[@curtnichols]

4:30 The LED strings are "addressable," meaning you can tell the Nth LED to be color X. The longer cable has more LEDs, the shorter fewer LEDs. To do fancy things like rebound the moving light at each end of the cable you need to know how many LEDs (addresses) there are. The controller assumes that one port has N LEDs, the other port has the shorter cable with M LEDs (so N > M). It seems reasonable to manufacturer the cables with the same connector for the RGB control, and some number of users who plug them in the wrong port on the controller will intuitively try reversing them when the one doesn't light up the whole length. Compromises of complexity and cost, I suppose.

[@microdynetechnologiesllc7662]

I originally had these on the new build parts list both 24 pin and gpu cable for the 4090 but I think I'm going to drop the gpu one and focus on whatever is going to be safest with the melting issue.

[@wyckedgames4975]

The LEDs not lighting up when plugged into the wrong socket is because each one has a fixed LED count per strand, plugging the longer cable into the shorter cable socket it only going to be sending signal to an array of say 24 pixels of LEDs, whereas the longer cable has 36 pixels, so the last 12 pixels don't get a data signal to fire. If you switched over and put the short cable into the long cable socket, you'll see a delay in patterns "restarting" due to it sending data to 12 pixels that don't exist on the shorter cable, before sending the signal to the starting pixels to repeat the pattern.

I had the first set installed in my rig in the US three years ago. Love them! I have had them in four different builds.

I did take the lights off the cables and attached them with double sided tape. It looks VERY cool especially matching the theme of the lighting in the PC.

So funny thing about this for me, I like RGB in a system and I bought these exact two units thinking "Hey I got a fancy new case that will be able to show off a lot of my hardware, might as well add rainbow puke to it" and that was after the 4090's seemingly stopped melting. Now that they're still melting around a year later, this impulse "MOAR LIGHTS!" purchase I made terrifies me to install on my upcoming new system build. Thanks for making a video on this Jay, once I saw this thumbnail I instantly worried I had bought something awful that you were going to absolutely review bomb. Glad it was more of a mild "Ehh...." at worst.

I just wanna say. These ads got me to buy a Morray ifixit kit a while ago. One of the best purchases I ever made. It's so good.

I personally like the 24 pin version because, as you pointed out, it bends back into the case in a way that makes it look less intrusive. I like to use the data stream effect as a way of visualizing power flowing into the system, or occasionally I'll connect it to external software like SignalRGB and use custom effects on it. It's definitely a niche product though, and the price alone probably puts it pretty squarely in the "enthusiast" category as far as PC parts go.
