My god thank you for a quick and simple explanation of how this thing can be wired. I was getting no where with the provided pictures on the various websites always cutting the picture off making it very difficult to understands look like this simple control with do exactly what i want and i won't need to go down the expensive corsair rabbit hole. Thank you

[@cuthbut1]

Whats the voltage for the connection on the motherboard? Trying to find anything about this kit is super difficult. I have a 12v header available but not sure if thats too high or not may need to step it down

[@009freestyler]

Finally I can run games on ultra without a GPU. Thanks @Tech Tesseract

[@ShadowleafTV]

Thanks for addressing being able to swap the RGB layer to the other side of the cable for the GPU. I was trying to find out if the Plus version allowed that and yours was the only review I've found that covered it. Cheers! :D

@Austin, have you try to use output port of the control box? It's not working for me, I can't use it with the other argb lights.

[@junkdrawer9407]

@@lungyedchannel274 if by other Argb, lights you mean like corsair fans or nzxt for example then there is an adapter you can get from Amazon for like 15 dollars or if you have an msi or asus board. You could plug it up to your mobo and try to control the lights with mystic light or "Aura Sync" I believe is the Asus program. I did NOT buy the adapter. I just used mystic light and icue and tried to get my lights as close as possible. I hope this answers your question

[@Deliriation]

@@TechTesseract On another note these Strimer Plus cables are hard to find in Canada. Weird lol.

[@AWESOME9740]

If anyone here is debating on whether to buy them, DO IT! they complete a build if your stuff is already heavy RGB. This along with LL fans are stunning. BUT there are some cons. Pros- Visually stunning/ Makes you want to stare endlessly at your case So many modes Lots of bright colors to chose from Cons- More cables, if you aren't fond with cable management it gets little more tricky. stubborn to contort and move around. The way most motherboards are set up in a case, it might be hard to bend them without having cables pop out of sprockets (annoying to reattach). The controller (which I use instead of RGB headers) feels cheaply made and easy to break which is a little nitpicky but it mattered to be because I don't want to buy a new one. Lastly is the price which I don't find too bad as the cables themselves do seem quality but it could be dropped. If it were 60-70 for both it would be in a lot more cases

[@TechTesseract]

All good points!

[@deathofthedj]

TBH, they can also be the only RGB in your build & still gives your build a down2Earth glowy vibe.

[@lewistaylor5809]

I've just connected them up in my all white PC build I'm just waiting for my NZXT Liquid cooler then I can turn the PC on for the first time can't wait

[@One57Games]

It would be really, really nice if it was possible to syncronize the 5th effect to the power consumption, increasing the speed of the effect when the power consumption goes up too

[@konokdas1084]

Thank you very much bro for give us the information that fps is depends on RGB. Before seeing your I didn't know this information. Take our love.

I’m building a all white PC and I allready have a heck ton of rgb stuff to put on my PC. Even my ASUS ROG Strix Helios *Silver white* case, is fitted with rgb. I’m changing the front panel rgb colour to white, Plus this rgb cable will also add more whiteness and brightness to the whole interior of the build this extra white rgb will be epic! LOL 😂🤣😝

[@lesthegreat]

I gotta admit, they are pretty good. Especially next to motherboard RGB

[@soloturk9014]

The controller becomes fixed in the PC case. How is the effect controlled? Is there a remote control? Or do I have to open the case every time?

[@kakhak]

Hello, I have one question.,Maybe you can answer it? My case is MATREXX 70 ADD-RGB 3F. I just need to know, if I can connect this to the DeepCool A-RGB splitter. I have a bunch of A-RGB fans and my motherboard has a 2x A-RGB (3-pin) header. So, I have two bunch of A-RGB fans for those two A-RGB headers. I just need to know, may I connect this Lian Li STrimer PLus to my A-RGB case splitter and use it synced with my other A-RGB fans? 02:37 - may I connect it to my case A-RGB splitter cable and use it synced with my other A-RGB fans? Will it work with them and can be adjusted by Mystic Light?

[@Funnyfish458]

Mine just won’t turn on. Everything is plugged in and it has power but it just won’t light up

[@TheDishDoc]

Great video man. How are you getting that blue effect on the bottom of your case? It's sick.

[@bramos3803]

It would be cool, if i had the controller outside of the case. But it has cables ontop and below the controller.. I change colors very often, so i must open my case every time i want to change the color. That sucks! But they look great :)

[@TechTesseract]

True!

[@bp968]

I thought the same thing. It wouldn't be too difficult to wire an arduino to the controller and plug each of the controllers switches into the arduino and "push" them via software. Another option would be to just use an arduino or raspberry pi zero with a ws2812B led controller shield on it. That option would require a fair bit of programming work to duplicate their "modes" but it would definitely be possible since they outright tell us there is 108 leds in one and 120 leds in the other. Ill probably mess around with option 2 for some other RGB stuff I have but later when i get a little more cash i might order these and try and wire that controller into a usb enabled arduino. Then you could either write a simple GUI to control it or (more likely for me) make a simple wireless hardware controller that duplicates to buttons function but you can sit on your desk within reach.

[@SprightlyMite]

Hiya mate brilliant video, really informative and has helped with my new build I'm planning! Quick question in the video what CPU Cooler is that and what Ram sticks are those?

Minha placa de vídeo necessita apenas de 1 conector 8 pinos (6+2), será que funciona?

[@erroldtumaque3430]

thanks for showing the modes

[@markkirkbride9]

How could it work for my 2080ti Gaming X Trio. It takes two 8 pin and one 6 pin. Wish I could get them.

[@AyaxRo]

Can you use your existing sleeved cables and just attach the RGB strips to those? Looks like you could.. White cables..even behind the RGB strips is an eyesore on a dark build.

[@berryhelmich4006]

Yes, you can :) I didn't really like the white cables so I took the rgb cables off and put them on my own sleeved cables, just like he did in the video for his GPU. Fits perfectly.

[@diamondcow11]

I have the lancool rgb strip. It uses an argb connection (3 pins with a fourth pin blocked off) I have no argb connections on my motherboard. Would I be able to plug in the strimer 8 pin gpu, strimer 24 pin motherboard, and the lancool to the controller?

[@azpiazu]

Can the 8 pin one be used fo the 8pin on the MB as well? I love the look of these "feeding" electricity into the parts (settings 5, 6, 8) in blue.

[@matz0rz4o8]

Dude when I saw that or these effect in white I wanted it immediately and knew I had my eye set on these ! The way u mentioned them that’s almost the exact thinking I had haha ! ⚡️🔌

[@Stickerz-]

I really like those and I may order a set for my computer anyway. But what I'd really like is if there was a set or a program or whatever to make them reactive to what the computer is doing. Drawing more power, more light loading a bunch of stuff it flashes I don't know that sort of stuff but that's way out of my skill range

[@colzz1]

Thanks for the video.

[@flyrrow]

Great review! Is that a single 1x8 pin cable or a 2x8 pin? My 3060Ti has only 1x8 pin entry. Also, is it adressable rgb? For example could you change that yellow into a goldish kind of yellow? Thx!

[@Odzyn]

I bought a 8pin and 24 pin stimmer from someone. But for some reason the plug for the 8pin that connects to the controller is different than the 24pin. The 24 pin hooks up fine to the controller but the 8pin seems like is 2 pins short to connect to the whole thing. Any help?

[@Kingrols]

but you can remove them from the supplied extension cables, can I mount them on my original cables? or is this not possible?
