    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.

    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.

Completely worth the trade off.

    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. Super clean looking in and just a little extra cable management on the back side of the case.

    I remember being excited about getting rid of the ribbon cables in my computer case to improve airflow. Can't imagine going back, especially with the RGB in these.

      I remember buying round IDE and floppy cables back in tbe day for airflow as well gah.. old age strikes again...

      LTT has a video that shows that is not an issue at all, they put a LOT of things blocking the airflow and it didn't affect temps.

      ​@@FastSloth87This was back before LTT, UA-cam, and a lot of what we know on the internet now-a-days.
      Putting it like that, it feels like old-age is slapping me in the face. 🤣

    This kit is essentially clip on lights with the cables attached. I have my gpu vertical mounted and the cables going towards the top of my case. I had to unclip the and flip them around to have them facing outwards

    You can easily detach the lights and move them around or even to other cables that have a similar form factor and can fit in the clips.

    I seriously considered getting these things for my build, but I hid the power cables so well that I would need to intentionally worsen my cable mangement for these to show up haha

  • @DethMetalGuitars

    The different channels specify the number of LED pixels to control them. That's why the that section wasn't illuminated, that channel is specifically addressing the amount of LED pixels that are present in the shorter cable.

    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.

      Not many people know this, but you could move the cable up to close the gap more.

    I went all lian li in my build last yr. It's beautiful, even have both of these. The build will last through the next generation of games. So powerful and beautiful. I still can't believe I built it myself. I too had the problem putting the steamer in plugged in the wrong spot, accept I had to pull it all back out to figure that out. 😅

    i have a variation of these in all of my builds but one (some lian li, some other brands) i think they look amazing. the mesh weave ones also do super cool effects

    A few years ago I built a PC with my niece, and she got all excited about the older style of the Strimer cables... She's 26 years old and a giant kid at heart! They made her smile ear-to-ear, and she even picked out the 011 Dynamic to tie it all together. She still hasn't upgraded her fans to their Uni Fans though...

  • @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.

    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.

    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.
