Major props to the editor for that "deploying flashbang" insert... Effing legend!
I died when I heard that! Hahahaha Great editing!
That's Phil for ya.
Loved it! 😅
That's big man Phil himself.
I rewinded it about 5 times haha 😂
I don't like them in flashing/scanning modes but a solid static colour that isn't set at maximum brightness could add an ambient esthetic if done correctly/subtly enough
iCue rain effect , MSI slow visor , image capture ram with soft colours
Are you able to do this with these?
These cables scream "maximum brightness!!!"
Same. One color, static, not too bright. It's a PC, not a Vegas act.
Please don’t encourage subtlety or restraint on this channel. Thank you.
RGB engineers were so preoccupied with if they could, without thinking if they should. RGB finds a way.
Take your damn like.
Like this comment if you understood the reference 🦕
so true but i think theres some economy in it some ppl might think omg how cool RGB light and getting it without thinking if it is usefull or nessesary but yes i do agree XD
Can't wait to see you inevitably use these in a build 4 to 6 months from now!
yeah, that will be cool when he does that.
“Throwing flashbang”. That was dead on! 😂
I lost it at that part. Perfect editing!
@@scottyc3215 Right?!
4:45, the extra header is for other kinds of gpu connectors (2x8pin). the switch is a toggle between the 2 gpu headers.
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.
Same here. I have an all lian li case and fans. I have the v2's but for my 2080 super. It looks great. I've left mine on at night and it lit my whole computer room. Lol
Agree and 25% brightness looks awesome with certain static colors creates much more depth and doesn’t look all washed out
... or I could just look into my monitor and actually use the computer?
@@kevingreen2245 For the price of that case, those fans and the strimer cables, you could have upgraded to a 3080 instead.
I will never understand people going for looks over function. Only if you have the highest end system, should you start spending extra on looks.
@@EcoAcid I agree
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.
It exists for people that want more RGB in their case 👍
After analyzing your answer very deeply, you may have solved the mystery.
@@bdifferentb💀💀💀
No shit.
🤔 Indeed
It's for people who have too much money.
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.
Embrace that “cheesy”. It’s your rig and it should appeal to you. Why have a viewing window if there’s no light to “view” what’s behind it?
I'm doing it for my system. I have lian li lighting up everything else, and the cables I have look sort of meh now that everything else is so pretty. Glad you put the video out there, that 24 pin trick in the box will help my OCD once I install the stuff. Thanks!
These are amazing. When you get an adapter cable and can control it with iCUE you are looking at some pure POWER for RGB effects!
I'm so so so fed-up with every cable having its own software you have to bloat your OS with >
These have been out for a while now, really neat. The 16 high voltage pin are solid too.
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.
Darn.
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.
I have the plus v2 and they work great with signal , I use L connect switches over to mb sync and voila
@charlesharrington4279 I want to talk you bro... you did what with arduino boards and rgb cables? I've been looking for someone who understands j standard and 5v and 12v rgb and variations of software due to conflictions in different motherboards vs different manufacturers of rgb products... any help you could provide would be great thanks
i mean you can just buy a converter cable to make it work with a lighting node for like, £4.
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 got the one for the GPU and I can say it was worth the money, could use more clear brackets to keep the cables straighter
They're actually pretty awesome. If your pc is boring with a clear case but no rgb or anything these can really change the esthetics without changing components or costing loads of $$.
I plan on doing an overboard rgb build for my daughter. Everything as much rgb as possible lol. I'm definitely getting her some
I have a video it's a PC with lots of RGB
If you have a simple build, wouldn't it make more sense to spend on better components than lots of expensive RGB?
@@4.0.4 I said boring, not simple. You can have the fastest newest everything with zero rgb.
Actually one thing that surprised me when I was building my current rig is that the old little cathodes you could use for lighting are gone. I ended up getting an LED strip but it didn't quite work as well and just sits off in the case these days
-How many RGB do you want in your case ?
-Yes...
Come into the Light Jay. Streamers are cool and all the different modes work great. Dim them just enough to match other RGB in the case, then adjust the speed and it really is cool to look at. Definitely an attention getter. 😊😊
Personalisation options are always great. Doesn't matter if other people do or do not like it, do your build how you want to.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years of watching pc heads on UA-cam is there’s never enough rgb
Been using these for quite some time now. With aura, I run a static red with a layer of slow pink waves on top and really enjoy em. The largest problems with the strips are they are easily damaged causing some leds to get stuck in a shade. White also becomes more yellow over time.
I actually own these and they've been in my rig for over a year. I think they look really cool and they get lots of compliments!
Ahh, a fellow man of culture.
@@xavierfranco5800 You know it!
More RGB = better fps and skill
This has been proven!
Intense bright RGB keeps you from drowsing off during the intense action of modern gaming!
‘DEPLOYING FLASHBANG’….perfect 😂
I have both of these in my current build, full white, silver and rainbow puke in an O11D mini. It even has a screen mod and a tiny little astronaut chilling in it. Why? For over ten years I've only built PCs for efficiency and no show - no RGB, only closed cases. This is my first RGB/overkill build and I admittedly love it.
I have them both gor my GPU and MB and It looks great. I think it would've been good if you showed the different effects it can have through L-Connect 3. The standard rainbow puke is pretty meh, but you can do a lot of cool effects with it. I use it to have a drizzeling effect towards my gpu/mb to make it look like the cables actually deliver power.
the separation part from the cable to the gpu can kind of be fixed, you can pull the actual light part of it down closer to the gpu, works perfect for mine because my gpus vertical so it doesn’t effect a bend in anyway😊
"deploying flashbang!" 🤣
This smal commercial in the intro is so funny, like it's from gta series, I rewatched it just because of this comic effect, that's just great, bravo!
Actually I think that’s a pretty tasteful addition to pc lighting, I don’t think I’ve seen many decent options for cables with this depth of rgb meaning it looks like neon fluid traveling through the cable, it’s why I’ve been on the hunt for rgbw neon strips but since this one appears to have software control I’ll give it a shot
Yeah, you could easily use something like this in something that's meant to look like an old wurlitzer jukebox. There's definitely scope for tasteful uses
The regular 3x pci-e and 24 pin atx ones look ok but converting the new tiny power connector into a fake ultra wide pci-e connector is just so stupid and fugly.
I actually have both of those strimmers. One for my 4090 and one for my mobo. I also have the infinity fans too and the galahad AIO and it is actually really nice and all works together really well. I do turn down the brightness a bit and you can make your own colors and paterns to match pretty much any theme. I also have it in a v3000 plus case which is giant and fills in all the extra space nice. I wouldn't change them at all! I would even say they might do your new build a little justice since it kinda looks dull Jay!
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. I have a lot of rgb, but my lights are always dimmer than my monitor and no more than 2-colors. (3 if I want to add an accent to a specific component.)
When Jay plugged it in .. All that was missing was him screaming MY EYES MY EYES !!! ... lol
that i fix it thing yall do never gets old 🤣
I’ve been wanting to get the 12vhp extension, but I’ve been too concerned about the melting issues with the connectors to pull the trigger
Get one that goes from power supply to GPU, Thats what I did and it seems fine. Running a 4080 Strix in a NZXT H5 Flow and it fits nice and tight. "Cables from Cablemod"
I have it on my 4090 and it works flawlessly. Love my Streamers.
For whatever it's worth--
1- Lian Li's site says they did something in the design of their cable to prevent it; no idea what they did. I wish a youtuber tested that claim.
2- Before buying it for my 4090, I googled to find people who used it having melting issues; I found none way back then (I haven't refreshed that research)
To be honest with myself... I have these and love them. The software is kind of garbage, but I like computer rgb cuz it looks cool.
Also, surprisingly, no connector issues where 12pins melt with that cable
I have the early version of 24pin strimer. I got it when they first time showcased it. Got is for 100$ on Amazon. And after all this year it's still working without any issues. The only problem is this doesn't bend properly.
I have 3x Strimers in my build currently. There is no such thing as too much RGB. Done well they look good.
have you ever taken a full blown rgb pc build (every type of rgb accessory available) and had it all running to see how much more power and heat is generated inside the case from all of these extras?
Hell yeah. I need more lights in my Lian Li case with 9 rgb fans. Big ups for the flashy boys.
Great Job Phil "Deploy Flash Bang" Prefect Line LMFAO
Knew about these a year ago when I made my build, glad Jay could eventually feature them.
It’s never enough…add more RGB!!!!
It can never go too far jay 😅
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.
The throwing flash bang had me laughing hard 🤣
I got them both and they are FANTASTIC!!! Will buy again.
Props Dax. Love your stuff.
HAHAHAHAHA the flashbang sound always cracks me up XD Phil is THE BEST xD
U can move the light strip closer to the cable plugs to decrease the gap between connector and light strip to make it look better
"THROWING FLASHBANG" was far more funnier than it needs to.
“Deploying Flashbang” 😂
Absoltuely necessary for my asthetic, can't wait to build with these! 😍
I have these on my build. Love them. Adds some more style to the build. I also have the GPU power harness as well.
The strimers are awesome. I got some for my GF in V1 and they fill in the RGB profile so well
I've been looking to put this in my new build. You are right this is not cheap just for some lights but I am still tempted. I've always wanted more color in my PC. When all we had were red, green and blue fans I put them all in one case. Even back then people said they didn't like it but it also wasn't their PC. I'm glad to see new gimmicks to push innovation and also that this isn't for everyone. If every PC had the same aesthetic it would be boring.
When your cables need cables moment.
I have so much RGB in my Corsair 1000D that I slapped a radioactive sticker inside the case. I kind of wish I had a sign inside the case that says "WARNING! EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE RGB MAY CAUSE RADIATION POISONING!"
Oh, and for the lulz add "in the state of California"
I love the references to a German coast guard! 😂😂😂 we are sinking!
I have both the Strimer Plus V2s in my build for the CPU and PCI-E cables.
Love using them with the Lian Li app to control the modes/lighting and adjust the brightness as its standard mode is quite bright.
Well worth it!
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.
These look like they'll be a great edition to a build!
"What are you sinking about" - I understood that reference!!!
I love them, I had the old ones and have been waiting for the 12V
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.
I adore these. I would use them in an all RGB build with low end specs for a laugh.
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.
I have no RGB in my system and I love it, mesh side panel, on my desk. In the beginning I missed the rgb, now I’m soooo happy, I will newer use rgb in my Pc again.
That's like a perfect timing as I'm about to "upgrade" a friends PC with those extension cables. He's really into this RGB stuff.
I've got a set of them in my main build. Got them on sale for super cheap like 80% off and they look amazing. Love em.
All the rules went out the window when we started installing UV reactive cables back in the IDE days.
1:52 Thank you for leaving that in.
PLEASE dont stop the i fix it skits lmao 🤣
NGL that flash bang bit got me .
not gonna lie, i rewound the "deploying flash bang" so many times 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
you joke about us laughing at your pain so often, but look that was comedy gold! I'm sorry, Jay
Flash bang edit made me chuckle more than it should have :D
the flashbang clip was a nice touch
Wow I actually love these in a white build!
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’ve been using these extensions for awhile now. I little excessive but it does help with my fps 😅
looks like those ppl who enters in the wrong bathroom section🤣
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
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.
Got the microcenter Inland brand version of this, it was the only part of the build my partner got excited about, lol.
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. 😅
1:40- them pulling the "throwing flash-bang" line from what im guessing is COD is the perfect touch to what we got.
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
5:08 that is one of the funniest commercials ever :D
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...
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.
"Throwing Flashbang" Yep
I have a pair and they’re great, just some extra customization and eye candy
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.
Phil NAILED that "flashbang deployed" sound effect PERFECTLY!!
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.
