Great content, more of those tutorials would be very helpful. Well done my friend.
Thanks a lot Dusan! Most likely there will be as the new studio will be finished hopefully soon, thus more space and more flexibility. 😉
@@PCCrazyDario Awesome, new studio, new content. Good luck
11 minutes video called "how to connect" and you dont show the most important connection, to the psu cables. LOL
Is that really something that needs to be shown? SATA to SATA? Come on. Even a beginner knows that.
Lol he is saying that this is not a tutorial at all
@@Wheelbrrow I said "it was more like a short tutorial, but more of a introduction to the STRIMER PLUS V2"... I don't get it, you write "negative" comments, yet you haven't even watched the video properly.
@@PCCrazyDarioyou really underestimate how dumb people are with pcs (including me). This video didn’t help that much so I suggest you actually take their advice. (Even though they said it rudely)
@@meta-kr2co It starts at 2:41 that the only cable that sticks out of the controller is SATA POWER which YOU do need to connect to your power supply. If you know how to connect HDD or SSD with your SATA POWER from your power supply, then you know how to connect this as well. Then you have a 2-pin header that you connect to the controller which is actually a connection to the motherboard for the addressable RGB which is used to syncronize anything connected to the HUB to your motherboard software. Sorry I didn't mention here it is 3-pin 5V ARGB header, but I guess, since you mentioned what people are, mentioning "3-pin 5V ARGB header" wouldn't mean anything. Then we have micro USB that connects to your motherboard USB 2.0 which gives you signal from the controller to your motherboard and viceversa. Then I explain the two headers and the switch how to connect the GPUs. I actually mention the exact cables 2x 8-pin or 3x 8-pin and where the switch has to go and then I explained where the cable for ARGB of the 24-pin cable goes.
After than and additional talk, I show how to connect 24-pin to the motherboard (like you can connect it anywhere else). Then I show how to connect 2x 8-pin PCIe connectors to the GPU. After connection to the motherboard and the graphic card, I actually show where to connect all the cables (once again) to the controller. Actually, in that segment you see the SATA POWER cable running out of the power supply, so you can't miss that. Wow, I even SHOW HOW TO CONNECT SATA FROM THE CONTROLLER TO THE SATA ON THE POWER SUPPLY. 🤣 After that I show how to connect the 3-pin 5V ARGB and USB2.0 header on your motherboard. Sorry, this is getting funny now.
So basically, you have 3 minutes for connection which usually takes 30 seconds to connect (if so) even for a rookie and 1 minute to pull all the cables through the case.
The rest of the video is giving more information and TUTORIAL through the L-Connect 3 features; specifications, details and features of the STRIMER PLUS V2 which are very important to mention since these are advanced version, logical, from V1. There is an intro and outro which has to be in every video and some of my thoughts, which also HAVE to be a part of the video. So realistically speaking, this video could have been even longer.
Thank you for your time for not watching the video and leaving comments that don't have literally anything to do with it. 😉
It was unclear to me if this supports 4080 or what?
You have new 12vhpwr that support the RTX 4080/4090. 😉
Awesome vid! Do you know if these cables are compatible with the gigabyte z690 Aorus Pro motherboard?
Since Gigabyte Z690 Aorus Pro has 5V 3-pin ARB header, then yeah you could if you only need 2x 8-pin or 3x 8-pin for the GPU. If you are thinking for the 24-pin, then also no problem plus you will get a controller for the special lights effects.
@@PCCrazyDario Thank you!!
Super informative. Thanks for getting to the point and making it clear that I can't use my existing hub for the 24pin heh.
Thank you for the comment. Glad I could give some information and sorry for the bad news on the older HUB. :(
The amount of cables just for this is insane
So connecting it to USB header is not necessary? I have only 2 USB headers in my motherboard, don’t have a third one
Of course it is necessary, otherwise you won't be able to control the RGB lights. There is a solution for those Interl USB 2.0 ports. You have NZXT USB 2.0 Internal HUB that extends 1 to 4 I think.
Do you need to hook up usb 2.0? I only have two headers on my board and they're taken.
To control the fan speeds and lights through L-Connect, then yeah. My suggestion if all USB 2.0 are used up, you should grab a splitter from NZXT for instance.
@@PCCrazyDario I ordered one yesterday. Thank you. I'm going to need about 4 I believe. One for Ryujin II AIO, MSI power supply, Lian li fan controller, and Lian li strimer controller. My motherboard was like $670, you would figure with that price you would get more than 2 headers. I guess not.
@@Echo4Yankee Actually, throughout these 7 and a half years, I have encountered only one motherboard that has more than 3x USB2.0 internal connectors... Which was NZXT motherboard. All others, even top notch, high-end, the most expensive ones, have maximum 2x USB2.0 connectors. And you are welcome. ;)
Can i put the 8 pin gpu streamer plus v2 to the Lian Li unifans controller to use all of them with same rgb effects? Thank you for the video!
mine is connected and everything but it doesn't light up i don't know why, do i need the lian li adapter so it even works?
How is it connected and where?
Ordered the 12vhp 16 pin version. Had to order the hub separately, hub didn't come with any of the wires. The one for the fans came with all the wires
This was immensely helpful! Told me everything I needed to know and more. Great video and beautifully detailed.
I am really glad my video helped you out and thank you for your kind words! :)
my mobo's 5v 3pin argb header is already used by the front panel rgb fans.
is it ok if i dont use the argb 5v connector or strimer? (and just loose the rgb controll) but will still work? (say random rgb still lighting up)
If you don't connect them to the motherboard and connect the controller through USB2.0 on the motherboard, then you will be able to control them through the L-Connect software. Otherwise, I would suggest you grab an ARGB splitter. ;)
I just did a video on my setup I'm not done yet some more stuff I need for the PC.
I'm going to get them strimer plus v2 at some point 24pin and the video card cables.
Hehe sweet! 🙌🙌
@@PCCrazyDario Did you see my video it's longer then I planned but a lot RGB themes.
@@shootemupgaming5418 I checked it out briefly, looks nice man! :)
Hey I have a question I have a 4070 ti by asus tuf gaming how would I know how much cables I need for my gpu
(New to pc building)
Hi, you have the new ones, STRIMER PLUS V2 12vhpwr that go directly to the GPU. For that card I wouldn't use 8-pin as extenders, because they wouldn't be seen since the GPU is using 12vhpwr cable.
@@PCCrazyDario thank you so much
@@dynamicshadow2706 You are very welcome. :)
Is the inside edge not supposed to light up? The rainbow is working on the outside of the cables but the inside is still plain white on both mine and yours.
can i connect this cables with razer chroma?
As far as I know and can recall, no.
Greetings sir. Is it good to buy a HDD at present time? I have lot of video editing to do and the multiple games I play on twitch are in sizes of GB. So, I don't think any SSD can help today because my work will need 4TB and above
Get an SSD to use as your boot drive (at least 256GB but preferably 500GB to 1 TB). Then use a higher capacity hard drive to store all your games and videos and other large files you don't use frequently.
@@yeahiamthatguy i just wanted to know about mass storage. for boot drive i already have planned 1TB nvme but... what for games, software and other files? no ssd is 16tb or even more than 4TB
@@DeathStriker88 If you don't need the extra speed, I don't think it's worth it. 16TB SSDs can be found but they are pretty much enterprise drives. But you can also find 8TB online (albeit not cheap) fairly easily. Or use an array of two 4TB SSDs.
But an 8TB hard drive will still cost less than half of this .
@@yeahiamthatguy thx for the help
can i connect it to the v1 strimer plus controller? so i don't have to buy the v2 controller separately
These are the informations I could find and come up with: "The controller included with the STRIMER PLUS (v1) 24pin doesn't support 3x8pin. You will need the controller that comes with the STRIMER PLUS (v1) 3x8pin." - "Yes, you can plug the 3x8pin STRIMER PLUS (v1) into the controller of the 24pin STRIMER PLUS V2."
Eu preciso instalar 3 controladas no meu PC (2x Lian Li + 1x Corsair)
Como instalar se minha placa mãe só tem 2x USB 2.0 9pin????
Great content! But I have a question, a beginner question. Is this okay for B550M Aorus Elite? Where do I insert the cables?...sorry if I'm asking obvious questions😅
Thank you very much. :) Yeah, for the motherboard when it comes to STRIMER PLUS V2 you only use 24-pin. You will additionaly need to use from the power supply one 8-pin EPS. As for the GPU, well that depends which one you have. :)
Do you need to use the 3 pin rgb and the micro USB connector or can you use only 1 or the other I'm asking because I don't have any 3 pin rgb connector left on my motherboard. I have however that micro USB connector thingy.
MicroUSB to USB2.0 is for controlling the cable lights with L-Connect software. The ARGB header is if you want the motherboard to take control of the lights. I would suggest connecting the ARGB and since you don't have any left, use a ARGB splitter. ;)
Great video. Thank you.
Glad you like it and thank you for the comment. :)
i don't have a 3 pin rgb port and a usb 2.0 that are not alr being used, what do i do? my cables don't show up in l-connect 3 so they're stuck on the same preset
Then buy a splitter for ARGB 3-pin 5V connector. And also, buy a splitter for USB 2.0. NZXT has USB 2.0 splitter or extender.
How i can connect to the motherboard with cabels also what software i need i have Armory asus software
You have USB 2.0 cable. One side, the bigger connector goes to the motherboard, while the thinner and smaller one goes in to the controller. The you install the L-Connect 3 software and you are good to go.
@PC Crazy i dont have that cabel can you send a link and picture to me i can order it please
@@lodvikgoolanians1125 You should have received it in the box. So one cable is PWM and ARGB cable from the controller to the motherboard, the second on is USB2.0 from the motherboard to the microUSB on the controller and finally the SATA POWER that is already connected to the controller. Please do check again.
@PC Crazy my lian board one is connected to the sata and rgb cabels connected to the lian board and i have access with lian board i can change a color so i have two more 2pin next to the lian board so just i need use one of them correct and connect to the motherboard usb? Because I did on rgb header my cabels wont on
@@lodvikgoolanians1125 By Lian Li board you mean Lian Li controller?
Nice demo with valuable info !!!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you
Great video!
I just bought the 24 pin and 2x8 pin. When I plug the USB cable and the 3 pin ARGB cable onto the mothervoard I get a message that the USB device was not recognized so I cannot control the effects (it remains on the standard rainbow mode). I’ve been watching tons of videos talking about the USB error. I even reinstalled and updated my windows to see if the error was corrected but it was not. I also tried to uninstall the usb hubs at the decice manager. Sometimes it works for a short time and it recognizes the lian li cabes so i can control the effects. But whenever I restart my pc there the problem comes again.
Do you have any suggestion?
Thank you for the video an best regards from Brazil!
Thank you very much! Install the latest version of L-Connect 3. It should be 1.20 or something like that. Then everything should work. Also, connect USB internal on the motherboard, connect ARGB and PWM to the motherboard and most important, connect the SATA power to your power supply.
could i connect this stuff to
old motherboard , as aorus z370 gaming 5?
If you have the controller, basically if you buy both cables, it will work because it doesn't need 5V 3-pin header to work. Everything is done through L-Connect software and it will work. Only thing you need on your motherboard is the internal USB 2.0 header for the controller.
thank you very much, it’s helping me a lot, appreciate your answer! have a great day!!
@@БорисНорд You are very welcome. :)
Really clear description. Thank you.
Thank you very much! :)
So with the controller I can connect both 24 pin and the 8 pin cables into it right? I’m new to building pc’s so I’m doing my best to understand all of it
Exactly, with the controller that comes with 24-pin cable. ;)
I don't know if you had a video on figuring out why lian-li plus V2 (24Pin) with my specific issue, but I am going to ask anyway. My cable will not light up at all. When I installed the lian0li software, it's not even detecting the cable. I thought, maybe it was a bad cord or controller. replaced both, but it's still not lighting up or popping up in Li's software. Any help? Thank you.
Did you connect the USB2.0 header from the controller to the motherboard? Did you connect the 24-pin correctly to the controller? I have to ask these wuestion, even though they sound silly to some.
@@PCCrazyDarioI’m having the same issue and mine is connected to a USB 2.0 internal hub. The 2 USB 2.0 slot son my MB are occupied but things that need to be directly on the MB
hi question, if i have a motherboard with 2 input for the rgb (3pins) and 2 4pins can i use 2 strimers plus v2 + 12 unifan? or will i need to but splitter or something?
Strimer controller on one 3-pin 5V ARGB and the 12x UNIFAN controller on the other 3-pin 5V ARGB header. ;) No need to buy splitters. If everntually you would need one, then you could just buy it additionally and add it later on. But from this point of view, I think you don't need it.
Can i connect these to the fan controller that came with the lian li AL 120 fans?
No, you have to use the controller you get with the 24-pin cable.
Would mixing cables be a problem? My pau ax850 corsair
In what sense do you mean mixing cables?
Is it possible to connect the 3 x 8 pin and the 2 x 8 pin at the same time?
Nope. Switch goes only on one way.
Look at that GPU daaaayuuummm 😍 With a brand new shiny set of cables!
Great video man as usual 👏
Hehe thanks man. Should’ve went with RTX 3080 Ti to show how 3x 8-pin on the GPU look. 😁
Appreciate your kind words bro! 🤗
I do have question. Not sure if it is answered somewhere. I do have the Lian Li Infinity Fans and the Lian Li controller for both the Lian Li and the Strimer installed but my question is. Upon starting pc i want them to automatically synch to aura synch which they do except the strimers. Is there a way to synch the strimer to automatically synch with the MB?
I always have to go to Lian Li Connect 3 Software to turn off MB Lightning Sync and turn them ON again to actually sync the strimers up to my MB which is a bit frustrating.
Where do you put in the gpu 3 pin without the controller?
You connect it directly on the motherboard ARGB 5V 3-pin header.
can we still change color if I don't have the argb socket on my aorus z490 motherboard with the lian li software?
Yeah, that is why you have the controller and the software for. ;)
The l connect 3 software does not work with the unifan sl I have to have 2 lian li software do you have a solution?
@@fredfreeman65r Why 2 Lian Li software?
Could I connect those to my 3070 founders edition?
If you have the splitter that comes with the FE model, to 8-pin standard cables from the PSU, then yeah.
Does the controller just become useless when using let's say the razer RGB Hub
And fights with Asus Aura also!!! Terrible when upgrade from L-Connect-2 to L-Connect-3...nightmarish......
@@Jghosn13 I guess I don't need this then
does this work with the nzxt b550 motherboard and z63 aio
Yeah, I don't see a reason why it shouldn't work. :)
subscribed, great vid. I have a question, mine always defaults to rainbow on start-up. Does anyone know why this is happening?
Thank you very much. :)
I think rainbow is default until the L-Connect 3 boots up after Windows. Then it goes to your settings.
@@PCCrazyDario okie dokie! Thank you
@@theBrentBrown You are welcome.
Does it work on a 2060?
If I recall correctly, RTX 2060 have 1x 8-pin, so the other 8-pin would be dangling around and shouldn't be connected with the cable from the power supply. You could use it on RTX 2060, but one 8-pin won't be connected to the GPU even though it will light up.
@@PCCrazyDario thanks for the reply, are there other alternatives?
@@lattejump6052 Unfortunately no. Lian Li makes either 2x 8-pin or 3x 8-pin. :(
nice haircut
Cheers. I cut it myself. 🤗
@@PCCrazyDariovery nice!
which pin version would i need to get to put it on my geforce rtx 2070 super???
I have the V2 but I can't figure out how to get it to bypass to the motherboard so that I can use Asus Aura software to sync everything together. I guess I could use Lian Li's software to change just those connectors but they won't be perfectly in sync with the fans and motherboard rgb.
Nevermind I figured it out. Lian Li's software has a switch under "Quick/Sync Lighting" that says "MB Lighting Sync". I just turned that on and now I can use the Asus software to control it and sync it with everything else.
@@BradleyDS90 Sorry for the wait, but I was just going to write that. ;) Glad you managed to find that out by yourself. ;)
@@BradleyDS90 do you have to open L-connect everytime you boot up the computer to use the MB bypass? I am planning to use signalRGB to sync my sl-infinity fans and strimer cable
@@kureedo id like to know this too
Hi bro i am having problem with my gpu lian li cables i dont have controller which you showed in your video so where to connect the 3rd cable whixh lights up the rgb ?
Hi man, controller comes only with the 24-pin cable. So the GPU cable has the extension to connect it to 3-pin 5V ARGB connector on the motherboard and then you control the lights via motherboard software.
Very nice video.. for my 3090 ti gpu i use the 3 plug cable. What do i set switch to on liam li rgb
Controller. ? Does it have option for that.
Thank you very much.
Actually, you have a switch for 2x 8-pin cable and 3x 8-pin cable when connecting it to the controller. Check the Manual to see which on is which so you can properly adjust the switch and for the STRIMER PLUS V2 to work properly.
Sweet 🔥🔥
Indeed 😁🙌
Corsair gives you the option to pulse fans/lighting strips with the music you are playing. Does Liam Li software provide this option as well?
To be honest I haven't notice that option. Sorry
Can these be controlled by icue like the last version
I honestly have no clue since I don't have literally anything from Corsair in my studio, so unfortunately I can't check that out for you. Really sorry.
I have a 3060 with just 1 8pin socket, can i still buy the 2x8 strimer? Can it be split into two single 8 pin cables?
Did u figure this out?😢
You can't use one cable, that is for sure. But you can use them both, connect one. Just connect the proper 8-pin on both sides.
ok so i noticed they sell teh version 's without a controller, is the controller needed to run the rgb or can i just use the software on the pc?
24-pin comes with the controller. I haven't noticed they sell them without it to be honest. Only 8-pins come without a controller, but then again there is no additional cable to connect them to the ARGB header on your motherboard.
My bad. 8-pin comes with and adapter cable to convert it to 3-pin ARGB header.
Ah ok, thanks!
@@PCCrazyDario Just bought a triple 8-pin cable separately, which comes without a controller.
Could you check how it works when connected directly to the motherboard?
Thanks in advance
@@bohdangutnyk8222 The 3x 8-pin works very easy. You use that extender cable that you get with it and connect it to the small flat cable sticking out of the bootom of the 3x 8-pin. Then the other side of that smaller connector is 3-pin 5V ARGB header which you connect to your motherboard and you can then control the lights via your motherboard software.
Hello Sir,
I would just like to know if it’s compatible with any fans or just the Lian li fans
It doesn't matter since the cables are connected to either controller or the GPU ones directly to the motherboard. So you control the RGB with the Lian Li software or motherboard software.
@@PCCrazyDario Thank you so much (I didn’t think you would actually replied)
