This is a great review - No crazy intro, overview, installation tips, and demo. Lots of information in between with a great delivery. I wish all reviews on UA-cam were this good.
very straightforward and explains everything needed. This is the first video I watch on your chanel and I hope the rest of your product reviews are as good. Great work!
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
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
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
@@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
@@junkdrawer9407 Thank you bro, I meant the Lian Li Control Box output port. They clearly mentioned in user guide that we can use the output port to control other argb lights like rgb fans or strip, but my control box doesn't work.
@@lungyedchannel274 oh sorry, I don't think I used that, or I did and I just didn't know it was the output port although I will say it took my like 4 hours to get those things in my 280x
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
thanks for this video. extremely helpfull and all questions answered. preset 3 and 4 look the best imo not too bright and also not too much going on from the effects.
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?
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.
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.
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 ! ⚡️🔌
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
Can you only change the color with the controller ? Because if yes you would have to open the case to get to the controller right ? Every time you want to change the colors
Thanks to your review i bought the stimmers! i was looking how to instal them because i got only 1 argb port left and with the lian li controller its easy to buy in my case :D
what case is that???? It's so sick. I heard you say it's the PC 011 Dynamic but that has a plastic piece at the front, so what is this one??? Is it an older model? Do they still make it?
so if youre plugging the cables into the controller box itll need to stay in the pc yeah? does that mean id need to open up my case when i wanna change the lights? Great vid very helpful
Amazing video, but how do you access the control/remote conveniently when your case is closed, that part confuses me. MOBO might be less elegant but certainly more convenient.
I picked up the 24 pin and the new 3 x 8-pin for RTX 3080 cards. I am going to be installing them soon. I am currently using a Chinese brand that looks pretty good, but because the RTX 3080 has three 8-pin connections, one of them is no longer RGB. Since I was getting that for my 3080, I figured I should also pick up the 24-pin. Note, the 3080 GPU extension strimer comes with a the same controller that comes with the 24 pin. I would have liked to see your review showing the controller with some of your other RGB plugged into it. I have lots of RGB in my system, and I am curious as to how it would sink up using this controller. I also wonder about whether or not the unit defaults to Motherboard RGB, or Controller RGB. I plan on hiding this controller and I don't want to have to open the case every time I turn the computer on just to set it to use the motherboard RGB. I feel all controllers like this should have a remote specifically so you don't have to open the case for any adjustments. Considering the price, this was a pretty big oversight. In fact, you can't even plug your reset button into this controller as you can in some other manufacturers controllers. This would also allow you to change the patterns from outside the case. This product is pretty much double the price of other similar products, so I would have thought some kind of exterior control solution would have been included. With this type of addressing, which many RGB manufacturers use, you cannot get everything to sync if you are using an RGB splitter or hub. I will be testing this in the next few days, but the hub I use I believe treats all the devices plugged into it as a single device. I believe this allows you to control many more LEDs than the motherboard could usually handle since it thinks all the devices plugged into the hub are a single device. Without the hub, there is no way I could get 2 x 1m RGB strips, an RGB GPU support, an RGB M.2 heatsink, GPU strimer, 24-pin strimer, and 7 RGB fans to run off of those addressable aRGB headers. I have thought about plugging it all into the output from the controller, via the hub, but this would look odd I think since some devices would be treated individually (those that are daisy-chained), and some treated as one device (those plugged into the hub). I am not 100% sure since I have not tried this yet, but I think I am going to be experimenting quite a bit over the next few days.
Brilliant review here, very well put together, however my motherboard doesn't support the header, so I can't access the functions of the control unit. Help !!
The newer version now comes with a controller that uses a pci slot and they don't even include an adressable RGB cable! They expect you to use a leftover one that comes with your motherboard! The streamer cable aslo dosen't come pre assembled!
How did you get the rotating (blue) lights effects on the bottom of the PC case right below your Graphics card. Its faint but I like the added subtilty of the lights.
Great video. Thanks! I'm setting up a new PC with a bunch of Corsair RGB. If I plug the strimers into the motherboard, will I be able to control them with Corsair's RGB software?
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
guessing you have a gigabyte mobo in this video - how do you connect your RAM to get rgb effects? or does it just turn on automatically but you cannot cycle through them
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!

Thanks mate appreciate that!
That moment when a cable has its own cable
Lool 😂
Imagine the cable of the cable was RGB too
@@TH-bo9qp but how would you control it? You need *another* cable!
@@nathangamble125 cableception
More 😂 rgb = more fps
When i saw Lian Li show these off, i was stunned. i can really appreciate a company going the distance
Great video! You're among my favorite tech UA-camrs now! I love the way you explain and show everything. Nice job! 👍
Hey, thanks man! 😁🤘
Breakdown of various installation scenarios, starting 2:30, is very useful, thanks!
Hello po👋👋👋
"RGB = MORE FPS" FACTS!! DO I EVEN NEED A GPU WITH ALL THE FPS IM GONNA GET FROM THESE.
EXACTLY! That's what integrated graphics are for right?! So you can blow 90% of your budget on RGB!
nope just onboard it, and bam rgb boost 350 FPS 4k battlefield ray tracing gsync magic.
I knew it!!!! My calculations were wrong
Yes. A graphics card gives you another component to blast out RGB lighting from.
what aio cooler is that btw?
very straightforward and explains everything needed. This is the first video I watch on your chanel and I hope the rest of your product reviews are as good. Great work!
Love that you actually showed every preset! Would have liked to see the different speeds as well, even if it was it's own video.
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
this is the best explained video ive seen in a while!!!!
Those actually look sick 😍
Yup! 👌👌
love mine
Great video! Deffo gonna pick these up!! I like that the colours aren’t too harsh, they look like quite soft colours. Super clean
I think I'm going to buy these cables for my PC 😁👍
Nice 😏
i love these looks so awesome in my system
Such an enjoyable video... Definitely getting these soon. Thanks!

I ordered these yesterday and this review made me feel better about the purchase I feel like I already unboxed it because of the video. Great review 👍
@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.

Thank you bro.^^
Solid in-depth video man, thanks!
You're welcome bro glad you enjoyed!
@@TechTesseract On another note these Strimer Plus cables are hard to find in Canada. Weird lol.
Liquid cooler model plz
Thanks man, just ordered mine for those great FPS boost!
I'm SO glad to hear someone say "RGB Fusion sucks." I was starting to think I was the only one who felt this way!!!
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
What are you using for your CPU cooler? Looks dope!
Great video just picked them up myself
Damn! And I thought my RGB setup was eye catching! Yours look like a spaceship warp core or a mini nightclub inside your PC.😲
the rave....fuck thats a good pc name
Can't wait to get mine! I'm going to setup similar but I'm going to run the 8pin through the 24pin loop.
thanks for this video. extremely helpfull and all questions answered. preset 3 and 4 look the best imo not too bright and also not too much going on from the effects.
You definitely got my Attention. Subscribed to your channel. Thank you. Keep up the great work. 🚀🚀🚀🚀
Thanks Chris!
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.
These are pretty cool looking... Using the lili controller seems like the best route.
This video explains everything thank you so much
Finally I can run games on ultra without a GPU.
Thanks @Tech Tesseract
Going to have to grab these
These are really amazing
Can you make what color you want it to be?
Nice vid mate rlly helped me!
Thanks mate glad it helped!
You answered the one question I had, thank you.
Nicely done thank you for making this
Thanks so much ive just started getting into PCs you made me want to but this you need sponsers
what if i dont have car keys ??
Great video man. How are you getting that blue effect on the bottom of your case? It's sick.
Nice video mate! exectly what i searched for. Thanks! imma buy these now. Bye! :3
More RGB means more FPS? Nice! Rofl:) Great review mate
EXACTLY! haha thanks man
thanks for showing the modes
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?

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.
What is the little liquid coolor or whatever next to the ram sticks
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?
Thanks for the video.
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.
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 ! ⚡️🔌
2 years late but this video is a masterpiece
Did you connect the fans to the controller as well?? If you didnt can you do a video of that or use some light strips?
I just got the GPU one and it's so pretty! I'm glad I splurged on it. Now I want the 24 pin one as well 😍
Great video!!
Nice one, gonna get the for sure.
Anyone knows by any chance what's that CPU cooler?
Deepcool Gamerstorm Castle......
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
Can you only change the color with the controller ? Because if yes you would have to open the case to get to the controller right ? Every time you want to change the colors
Stupid question - Can you keep the LEDs off at certain times?
nice video im defenetly buying them soner or later
Thanks, was very helpful :D
No problem!
Looks good. Can you just clip the rgb lights onto your existing cables and not even use the extensions?
What a time to be alive.
Thanks to your review i bought the stimmers! i was looking how to instal them because i got only 1 argb port left and with the lian li controller its easy to buy in my case :D

Hey bro nice video! I loved your cpu cooler, which one are you using? Cheers from Brazil

whats your cpu cooler it looks stunning!
Just ordered them supposed to get them today😁
Is that a custom front panel you're using? I've never seen that before it looks really good 👍
so if youre plugging the cables into the controller box itll need to stay in the pc yeah? does that mean id need to open up my case when i wanna change the lights? Great vid very helpful
Amazing video, but how do you access the control/remote conveniently when your case is closed, that part confuses me. MOBO might be less elegant but certainly more convenient.
Do you think there's any way to remove the RGB part and connect them to existing cable extensions?
Yes. He showes it in the Video.
But the cables must fit.
So that I don't have to use white cable extensions
Damn those things are hard to find 😂
Facts. People buy them at high quantities and resell them higher than MSRP
amazon almost always in stock every week
They dont have plus tho
@@snoogitywoogity5394 it says plus on amazon I'm lookin rn
@@sirdoosh5935 i payed 135 for one 😔
Can you please tell which cpu cooler you are using ????bro
Can you do the animated effects in single colors or are the single colors just static?

Hey can you tell me what’s the pc case or send me a link of that pc case. Thanks
Where does the blue lighting on the floor of the pc come from? I want that effect. Thanks
I guess that’s proprietary, this has been asked twice to no response...
Hey Man! Greetings from Colombia!
Amazing video! The cables come with the controller? or I have to buy it? Thnks a lot!
So the ones you link there clear not white? With the rope lookn stuff on it
Nice video bro ;). One question: is it possible to adjust these RGBs with an software?
Brilliant review here, very well put together, however my motherboard doesn't support the header, so I can't access the functions of the control unit. Help !!
Do you have an install video of how to attach the 8 pin cable to gpu?
Would the cables run off a Corsair Node? Or an NZXT fan/led controller?
Which effect are u show casing in the video initially ?
What r ur pc specs or did u buy it pre build please awnser I really like ur pc and I want to buy it or build it
The double 8-pin will be perfect for CPU power too since the extensions themselves come out. Great video!
The newer version now comes with a controller that uses a pci slot and they don't even include an adressable RGB cable! They expect you to use a leftover one that comes with your motherboard! The streamer cable aslo dosen't come pre assembled!
I just bought these and i cant wait! Is the controller magnetic on one side by chance?
no you need double sided tape or something
How did you get the rotating (blue) lights effects on the bottom of the PC case right below your Graphics card. Its faint but I like the added subtilty of the lights.
Great video. Thanks! I'm setting up a new PC with a bunch of Corsair RGB. If I plug the strimers into the motherboard, will I be able to control them with Corsair's RGB software?
I gotta admit, they are pretty good. Especially next to motherboard RGB
What is that for a sick watercooling ?
Aww man I love these but do they offer a set with triple 8pin for 3080?
V2 has triple option!
What are those RAM sticks? Where did you get them?
For the 24 pin did you take the cables out of the backside to curve it that tight?
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.
