THANK YOU. Been trying to find a video showing how the Lian Li cables are connected to the power supply. I was fairly confident they were just extenders but I wanted to see someone actually plug it in to verify. Watched dozens of videos and you're the first to actually show both ends getting connected.
I know this is a old video but you save me soo much time i was looking for this 8:55 and you very much explained everything now i can buy the right stuff for my 4070ti gpu Thankyou so much.
Currently putting together a build and I switched from a SFF idea to a full blown RGB puke build. I've watched several videos surrounding Lian Li fans and these on your channel. Your explanations and visual representations on everything have been astronomical in regards to putting me in the right direction. I cannot thank you enough. Also, soothing voice.
You saved my PC!! I’ve seen so many of your videos and each one, step by step, helped me complete my build for my first pc. So much to learn about different components and builds from one channel. Keep up the amazing work 👌
I really like how these cables are reversible. Removes all the guesswork from it, unlike those Cablemod adapters that I wasn’t sure which one to get because I wasn’t sure which GPU I’ll get, and both were in short supply..
Dude you are killing it with product coverage. Already subbed and followed but it's crazy how the closer I get to finishing my build and looking stuff up the more I run into your content. Great stuff, keep up the good work!
Dude, you are a hero! I was desperate because my Strimer Plus wasn't turning on the LEDS. After watching your video I discovered that it was just a matter of moving the switch that comes on the controller. I did this and the LED turned on!!! Thank you very much.
when I saw Lian Li's video presenting these about an hour ago, I was like "hmm I wonder when the Provoked Prawn will give us a video about these new cables..." and here it is !!! Thank you for making amazing videos like that it's very precise and SUPER usefull ! you basically made my gaming setup and it's perfect
Great video! Very informative, easy to follow and cleanly presented. I'd like to point out that it's definitely best practice to use 3 separate cables over split cables from PSU to GPU, as shown at 10:08. The 6950 XT would not run without issues while using a split cable, and I would estimate the same results with a 40 series card, even though their required wattage is lower.
I ended up creating a pretty cool way to use a 2x8 on top of a 12VHPWR Adapter from Cable MODS using translucent rubber bands that you can only see up close with the PC off. It worked magically
Hey thanks! I've just done my first rgb build and your videos helped me a lot! A far cry from my previous build where i just plopped the 3 fans that came with my case right into the mobo lol!
With the 4070TI there is a 12+4 pin to 2 x 8 pin adapter. For this card would you buy the 3 8pin strimer and connect all 3 of them or just leave one empty? It's just slightly confusing since the adapter that comes with the 4070TI only has 2 8 pin connectors.
Yeah, no one has given a solid answer on this. A few people on reddit have said they used the 3x8 pin and left a slot empty. This is the route I'm probably going to go, but I hate leaving that 3rd slot. Pretty large oversight on the part of Lian Li...
@@sick2426 You can use the adapter, so buy the one with two 12vhpwr connects, one for gpu and the other side goes to the adapter, then to PSU, forgoing the dual 8pin problem. The car will only pull what it needs so if you have more connectors it won't really matter. I have an amp airo extreme 4070ti with 3 and I use my adapter with this strimmer cable.
So was i just plug the lian li strimmer 12vhp into your gpu cable and connect the black and white cable to +5v D its usually down left on the motherboard and has 3 pins
Nice guide, very helpful! My main complaint is that Lian Li hasn't made a universal hub for all their products. The software imo is good and works well with the three varieties of products I'm using. It just stinks to have to shove 3 hubs into the back of a smaller case in order to use strimmer, tl lcd fans and sl infinity fans.
Hi, I have a question: My power supply doesn't have a 12VHPWR connector, I'm using 3 PCIe power cables with an adapter (3x8pin to 12VHPWR adapter, came with my 4080). Is it possible/recommended to use the top strimer shown in 1:07 (the "12VHPWR to 12VHPWR") together with the adapter I'm already using? So in the end the wirings go like this: PSU 3x8 pin -> 3x8pin to 12VHPWR adapter -> Lian Li 12VHPWR to 12VHPWR Strimer -> GPU Or should I stick to the strimer at the middle in 1:07 (the "12VHPWR to 3x8-pin")? In such case, the wirings would be: PSU 3x8 pin -> Lian Li 3x8-pin to 12VHPWR Strimer -> GPU
11:43 I watched your video and finished assembling it. Thank you for making a helpful video. I have a question. I heard that there is a problem that the 12vhpwr cable can melt in a narrow case. Is it okay to use only the rgb cable by disassembling the 12vhpwr cable and the rgb cable? I'm trying to use the pure one included in the power package for the 12vhpwr cable.
Nice video! I was wondering can you take the Lian Li Strimmer v2 LED strip from both gpu and mb extensions and put the led strip together with/on top of the PSU cable (Lian LI Edge platinum)?
I’m new to pc gaming/building and after doing days of research I have most of my build ordered expect the strimmer. Just to make sure I’m understanding this correctly, the v2 plus 24 pin is for the motherboard and the 12vhpwr is for the 40 series gpu ?
I only have two usb on the bottom which I’m using one for the aio pump and the other one for the inf fans dock. I plug this one into the PSU but I can’t control it .

Hey, I have a 4070 ti super which comes with a 2 8pin to 600w adapter in the box. With the 3 8pin to 600w strimer should I use all three 8pin, or should I only use 2?

How would I use one of the triple 8 pin versions of this 12vhpwr to connect to the 4070ti? Since the 4070ti only needs 2 8 pins to power the gpu do I need to plug in 8 pin power connectors into all 3 of the 8 pin connections on the Strimer?

My strimer does noy click in my GPU and if I pull it cable out it just comes off. I an worried that this is not safe. I am using 4070 Ti TUF and strimer plus v2 8 light guide
I’ve got a 4070 Aero. One 16 pin from the card into 2x8 pins into my RM750X psu. Can I just take the 16 pin out of the GPU currently and connect into the strimer, then plug the other end of the strimer into my GPU? Haven’t bought yet and not fully clued up.
Prawn thank you for your amazing content. Truly love the information you give out and the help. Wanted to ask you what you recommend I have a GEN5 motherboard and everything else but I have a EVGA 3080 CX3 black 3080 and I wanted to connect strimer which ones would you recommend for me to install? Thank you in advance.
Can I put the strimer plus v2 PCIE 5.0 to (adapter) PCIE 5.0 Power Cable 16Pin (12+4) to 2x8Pin that comes with the GPU and then after that to the PSU?
Well, these are for the 40-series Graphics card, so it depend on your PSU really. If you have a standard one with 8pin PCIe cables, then that's the one you choose. If you have the 12VHPWR ATX 3.0 PSU connection then choose those ones (the fat or thin one depending on your preference).
@@TheProvokedPrawn yeah I figured it out mine it's an asus rog strix 850 Gold so I'm gona have to use the tradicional 8 pin pci conector I just hope this psu it's enough for the 4080 that I'm planing to buy
Love your channel and informative videos - especially the the intricate wiring for Lian Li Fans etc. I am struggling at the moment to establish which Strimer cable I need for the Gigabyte 4070ti Super Aero 16Gb card I have just bought. There are different versions of the power connectors and the technical spec for the card talks about 1 x 16pin connector but the Strimer has versions Strimer plus V2 16-8 pins and Strimer plus V2 16-12 pins. - can you help me determine the one I need please? Keep up the good work :-)
Is it able to use 2 of the L3 connectors for a third cable and does the lian software recognise the 2nd connector? I want to get of the rgb stripes of the third cable, tie them up somehow with the Cpu cable of the PSU and get the same light effects like on the other ones.
I have a 4090 with 4conectors going out of the psu and from corsair 4 to 1 that goes into my gpu so i just have to unplug it and put the lianli strimer in between?
I have the same situation. I think the only thing we need to do is unplug the conector that goes directly to the GPU and only conect the strimer to it, and then plug the strimer to the GPU.
Hi should the usb header and sata connected for it to work? I got the strimmer 16 pin and the 12vpwr, my problem is my board only has 2 usb 2.0 header, i thought plugging the sata would work
Is it safe to use the Asus plug from the 4090 to plug into the Strimer? So 3 connectors into asus plug into strimer or is that too much daisy chaining?
Quick question: Power Unit Corsair RM850 doesn't have a 12VHPWR. But my GPU came with a splitter (?) from 12VH male to 2x 8pin female. Can I connect it to 2 PCIe/CPU slots on the power unit ?
Then you'd want the strimmer that has the two PCIe 8 pin connectors at one end and 12vhpwr at the other. Don't try to connect that adapter directly to your PSU
any idea if these cables will work on the rtx 50 series? im looking at getting a 5080 founders edition and was going to buy these in advance or should i wait
Hey, will this cable work with RTX 4090 Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme Waterforce.? Bcz this card comes with and "16-pin to four 8-pin power adaptor". So I'm planning to buy that card and also this strimer cable. My psu will be MSI MPG A1000G.
Hey man I know it’s a bit late but what strimer would I need for a gigabyte wind force 4070ti? It’s connected with a power splitter or adapter however it’s called and I want it to look like yours thanks
@theprovokedprawn would you recommend using a strimmer right now with all the melting cables on a 4090 gen 5 psu? And will the li work with th new Corsair software? Link I believe . I’m building a new 4090 i9 and want to use these but is it safe right now?
Thing is here in my country that x3 8 to 12 strimer isn’t available yet. Only the 12v to 12v. You reckon its safe to daisy chain the nvidia adapter to strimer?
@@TheProvokedPrawn Thank you! Wishing continued success to your channel . Just to update you, I connected the USB and SATA cables; it seems the ARGB header isn't required. From my understanding, the ARGB header is mainly for synchronization and is optional.
Hey! Great video! I currently ordered the strimer with the 3x6 to the 12 for my 4070 ti. I was wondering if you knew whether or not I would connect all three of the 3x6 or just two because the 4070 only uses 2 of those!
do u hace any answers guys? i have a lian li strimer 3x8 pin to +12vhpower to my rtx 4070 super. But my psu have only 2 cables 6+2 to PCIE. it is safe to connect the lian li cable to 2 ports of 8 pin plus the pig tail of one of those? o it have must be with 3 x 8 pin independently? pls answer
can we combine 2 usb 2.0 headers into one for motherboards that just have 2 usb 2.0 headers?i have strimer plus controller and uni fan controller and ryuijin ii but my mb has 2 usb headers.
I am not sure what to go with I dont really know what PCie gen my Rm1000x is but I am running it w a 4090 which strimer plus v2 cables would I get? Also you mentioned needing to buy the old 24pin strimer to get ur control box correct?
I know that a long time ago of this video but I want to buy for my GPU 3090 ti I have 12 on one side and 3x8 connectors of the psu I can use that one that shows in the video because I'm searched for a day and everyone talks about the series 40, that has 12v and 3x8
Hopefully someone can help me out, I have a 4070ti would the 3x8 pin plugin version work for my card? Since the card only requires 2x8 pcie plug-ins to the 16 pin adapter ? Would I use all 3 pcie cables from my PSU to the lian li cable or just 2 ? (My psu also doesn’t have the 16 pin 600w cable plug-in option so I’m trying to figure out how to upgrade to this cable and which one to get) any advice or knowledge is super appreciated

I’ve got a 4070 Aero. One 16 pin from the card into 2x8 pins into my RM750X psu.
Can I just take the 16 pin out of the GPU currently and connect into the strimer, then plug the other end of the strimer into my GPU? Haven’t bought yet and not fully clued up.
What if the 5Volt 3 pin is already being used? (Motherboard only haves one)
I just got the asus dual 4070. What Strimer should I get if I also have the 850w lian li psu?
Prawn thank you for your amazing content. Truly love the information you give out and the help. Wanted to ask you what you recommend I have a GEN5 motherboard and everything else but I have a EVGA 3080 CX3 black 3080 and I wanted to connect strimer which ones would you recommend for me to install? Thank you in advance.
Can I put the strimer plus v2 PCIE 5.0 to (adapter) PCIE 5.0 Power Cable 16Pin (12+4) to 2x8Pin that comes with the GPU and then after that to the PSU?
What if you plug both strimers into the hub? Which way does the switch go?
Did you ever find the answer to this? Wondering the same thing.
Can I use these with a 7800 xt? Which strimer cables would I buy? Any help would be appreciated 🙃
the question its how to chose the right cable ? it depends on your power suply or the graphic card ?
Well, these are for the 40-series Graphics card, so it depend on your PSU really. If you have a standard one with 8pin PCIe cables, then that's the one you choose. If you have the 12VHPWR ATX 3.0 PSU connection then choose those ones (the fat or thin one depending on your preference).
@@TheProvokedPrawn yeah I figured it out mine it's an asus rog strix 850 Gold so I'm gona have to use the tradicional 8 pin pci conector I just hope this psu it's enough for the 4080 that I'm planing to buy
@@TheProvokedPrawn i have rm850x but i dont know which to buy can you help me pls ?
@@Kishinoo buy the one that connects to 3x8 pin connector.
So with the 3 pcie of the cable can you use one 8 pin to pcie and the other 2 daisy chained 8 pins to a 12vhpwr ?
Love your channel and informative videos - especially the the intricate wiring for Lian Li Fans etc. I am struggling at the moment to establish which Strimer cable I need for the Gigabyte 4070ti Super Aero 16Gb card I have just bought. There are different versions of the power connectors and the technical spec for the card talks about 1 x 16pin connector but the Strimer has versions Strimer plus V2 16-8 pins and Strimer plus V2 16-12 pins. - can you help me determine the one I need please? Keep up the good work :-)
Is it able to use 2 of the L3 connectors for a third cable and does the lian software recognise the 2nd connector? I want to get of the rgb stripes of the third cable, tie them up somehow with the Cpu cable of the PSU and get the same light effects like on the other ones.
Thanks, answered all my questions
Glad to help
can the strimer be plugged into another lian li controller? such as one that came with the three fan kit?
No
Can I use the 3x8 vhpwr cable for my 4070?
So if i already have a Lian Li Galahad II LCD, I cant just use just the controller that came with it by plugging the strimer cable in to it??
With the sync port adapter potentially
which do i need to buy i want one for my motherboard and for my rtx 4080?
Do they take 600wats so if I have a 850 psu and my pc takes up 500w ima need a 1200+ way psu???
I have a 4090 with 4conectors going out of the psu and from corsair 4 to 1 that goes into my gpu so i just have to unplug it and put the lianli strimer in between?
I have the same situation. I think the only thing we need to do is unplug the conector that goes directly to the GPU and only conect the strimer to it, and then plug the strimer to the GPU.
Hi, what do I do if I have have 1 5v rgb port on my pc that’s already in use for my fans? I don’t have 2 likes yours what else can I do please?
Hi should the usb header and sata connected for it to work? I got the strimmer 16 pin and the 12vpwr, my problem is my board only has 2 usb 2.0 header, i thought plugging the sata would work
Try this ua-cam.com/video/d8vELbWWaCQ/v-deo.html (yes you'll need sata power as well)
@@TheProvokedPrawn thank you
Is it safe to use the Asus plug from the 4090 to plug into the Strimer? So 3 connectors into asus plug into strimer or is that too much daisy chaining?
Do I need to use all 3 8pin PCIE on the strimer cables or will 2 be ok?
Do you connect all those usb cables in or just one?
Quick question: Power Unit Corsair RM850 doesn't have a 12VHPWR. But my GPU came with a splitter (?) from 12VH male to 2x 8pin female. Can I connect it to 2 PCIe/CPU slots on the power unit ?
Then you'd want the strimmer that has the two PCIe 8 pin connectors at one end and 12vhpwr at the other. Don't try to connect that adapter directly to your PSU
any idea if these cables will work on the rtx 50 series? im looking at getting a 5080 founders edition and was going to buy these in advance or should i wait
Yes. The 12vhpwr cables will work with 12v-2x6 connectors on the new GPUs
@@TheProvokedPrawn thank you so much for the heads up i can go ahead and order ready for my build your videos have been so helpful love your channel
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this *doesn't* need to be plugged in to an ARBG header assuming you use the USB header instead?
Correct
@@TheProvokedPrawn sweet, thanks for the reply!
Hey, will this cable work with RTX 4090 Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme Waterforce.? Bcz this card comes with and "16-pin to four 8-pin power adaptor". So I'm planning to buy that card and also this strimer cable. My psu will be MSI MPG A1000G.
i have 8 pins in my 4060 ti what do i buy?
Hey man I know it’s a bit late but what strimer would I need for a gigabyte wind force 4070ti? It’s connected with a power splitter or adapter however it’s called and I want it to look like yours thanks
Yes you can use this in place of the splitter
@ thanks for getting back to me, what strimer would be required for that?
@ I would need the 12+4 pin right?
So this will work on a 4090 and a Corsair gold standard 1000e psu?
Noob question, i have a cable mod psu cable that connects to the gpu will it work with the 1st lian cable that you showed?
@theprovokedprawn would you recommend using a strimmer right now with all the melting cables on a 4090 gen 5 psu? And will the li work with th new Corsair software? Link I believe . I’m building a new 4090 i9 and want to use these but is it safe right now?
I've been using one with my 4090 since I made this video and have no melting.
@@TheProvokedPrawn ok I’ll give it a shot , thanks much!!
could i use the nvidia adapter to connect it to the strimmer?
The Strimer would replace that adapter, just get 3x 8pin to 12VHPWR Strimer.
Thing is here in my country that x3 8 to 12 strimer isn’t available yet. Only the 12v to 12v. You reckon its safe to daisy chain the nvidia adapter to strimer?
which strimer would work on a 4060 with one 8 pin connector?
Question: I see the old school one has 3 8pin connectors, but my SUPRIM has 4. Will this still work ? I don’t see they made ken with 4 pcie connectors
will this work without ARGB header? my mobo''s RGB header is 12v 4 pin.
Yes if you use the controller
@@TheProvokedPrawn Thank you! Wishing continued success to your channel . Just to update you, I connected the USB and SATA cables; it seems the ARGB header isn't required. From my understanding, the ARGB header is mainly for synchronization and is optional.
Additionally, I've observed that my boot-up time is prolonged; I'm uncertain if you're experiencing the same issue.@@TheProvokedPrawn
Hi will there be any interference with glass panel? I am using h9 elite and fe 4090 horizontally mounted
Also i have uni hub fan controller will it work with it?
Hey! Great video! I currently ordered the strimer with the 3x6 to the 12 for my 4070 ti. I was wondering if you knew whether or not I would connect all three of the 3x6 or just two because the 4070 only uses 2 of those!
@spencersundeenvolleyball7977 have you figured it out? I have a 4070ti that uses the 2 8 pins and am deciding which one to get
do u hace any answers guys? i have a lian li strimer 3x8 pin to +12vhpower to my rtx 4070 super. But my psu have only 2 cables 6+2 to PCIE. it is safe to connect the lian li cable to 2 ports of 8 pin plus the pig tail of one of those? o it have must be with 3 x 8 pin independently? pls answer
@@matycodoceovalenzuela6079 you can pig tail one 8 pin and the use the other 8 pin for 3rd
Quick question , I have a RM1000x PSU and am thinking about getting a 4080 Super . Which of these Strimer cables would I get?
Do you have the 12vhpwr connector with that PSU with a single connector on either end? If so, there's a strimer cable with the same logic.
can we combine 2 usb 2.0 headers into one for motherboards that just have 2 usb 2.0 headers?i have strimer plus controller and uni fan controller and ryuijin ii but my mb has 2 usb headers.
ua-cam.com/video/d8vELbWWaCQ/v-deo.html
can you sync those strips to the icue software?
No
I am not sure what to go with I dont really know what PCie gen my Rm1000x is but I am running it w a 4090 which strimer plus v2 cables would I get? Also you mentioned needing to buy the old 24pin strimer to get ur control box correct?
I know that a long time ago of this video but I want to buy for my GPU 3090 ti I have 12 on one side and 3x8 connectors of the psu I can use that one that shows in the video because I'm searched for a day and everyone talks about the series 40, that has 12v and 3x8
Hopefully someone can help me out, I have a 4070ti would the 3x8 pin plugin version work for my card? Since the card only requires 2x8 pcie plug-ins to the 16 pin adapter ? Would I use all 3 pcie cables from my PSU to the lian li cable or just 2 ? (My psu also doesn’t have the 16 pin 600w cable plug-in option so I’m trying to figure out how to upgrade to this cable and which one to get) any advice or knowledge is super appreciated
