Product Information

Ultraviolet light strips can add a glow to cables andcomponents. Take ultimate control of your lighting Yep, your cooler can join in the RGB party, too. For our build we used an NZXT Kraken cooler, which has an RGB LED built into its pump. The color of the LED was easily configurable with NZXT’s CAM software in Windows. Corsair’s line of liquid coolers mostly have RGB LEDs, too. Unless you go for a more specialized cooling setup, those are both great options, though we prefer the design of the Kraken. Supports Asus Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion software, Flexible, RGB LED Controller, supports Daisy Chaining

In the latest generation of graphics cards, with Nvidia’s GTX 1070 and 1080, several GPU models come outfitted with RGB LEDs. EVGA’s FTW 1070 and MSI’s Gaming X card are two examples. Those have LEDs you can control through software. Concerns about Power Usage: If you’re concerned that the additional power draw of RGB lighting will affect your motherboard performance, you might understandably be hesitant to install strip lights on your gaming PC. However, newer 5-Pin RGB headers typically use less power than the older 12V 4-Pin RGB LED header designs. In addition, many modern ARGB strips come with a 3-pin connector type and only use 5 volts. If you’re retrofitting an existing PC with LED lights, powering and synchronizing multiple components is made far easier with a dedicated lighting controller. Just as a fan controller regulates power and spin speeds of your case fans, a lighting controller manages power and color synchronization of LED lights.While other components will all be helping accent your case, LED strips are going to be doing most of the hard work. You have a ton of options here. Do you want RGB strips that you can change with the press of a button on a remote? Do you run colored lighting or pure white for illumination? How do you attach them to your case? A 12V RGB LED Strip from SilverStone that is 300mm long. The length of the strip may feel short to some users, but you can daisy chain two of them and extend the length. The strip is coated with some kind of white translucent coating on it to diffuse light so that the lighting looks uniform all through the strip. It comes with a Built-in magnetic strip and adhesive tape for effortless installation. The RGB LED Strip contains 18 RGB LEDs which are pretty bright and the colors also look vibrant. When you first start up your PC, you may notice some unexpected behavior from your LED strips. They may glow white, or may not glow at all. Don’t panic—like any hardware device, the controller will need drivers (and perhaps a firmware update) to complete your installation.

Important Note: RGB and ARGB LED strips are not compatible with each other headers or connectors. This means you cannot use a 12V RGB LED strip on a 3-pin RGB header (5V), and an ARGB LED Strip on a 4-pin 12V header, and if you do so, then you might end up damaging your motherboard RGB header/connector or the RGB LED Strip itself. So, always use the proper header or connector that a particular type of RGB LED Strip supports. If you don’t have RGB headers on your motherboard then you can buy an RGB LED Controller that you can attach inside the case using double-sided tape, velcro, or using a glue gun. There aren’t many better ways to spruce up your gaming rig than with one of the best PC LED strips on our list here. They’re affordable and easy to set up and can be the difference between a boring rig and an eye-catching one.LEDs: 600 | Color: RGB | Wattage: 40 watts | Length: 32.8-feet (x2 16.4ft rolls) | Extendable: No | IP Rating: IP65 | Smart Home: Yes | Warranty: 18-month Finally, we come to the LED strips themselves. Each of the two four-pin ports on the HUE+ controller is able to support four, daisy-chained LED lighting strips. I’ll use one port to connect the strips supplied with the HUE+ and the second port to connect and control the Aer RGB fan.

Here are some cheap local and unbranded RGB LED Strips that are pretty good, and worth considering if they suit you.If you don’t plan carefully, a graphics card can be an obstacle to overcome. Nvidia’s reference card designs, for example, have lime green LEDs that do not pair well with a blue or red color scheme. Keep in mind the color of the LED on the GPU you own or plan to buy, and make sure your color scheme will work in harmony with it. Regardless, stepping into the LED lighting space is a great way to personalize your PC, home, and more, so have fun with it! Enjoy! LED Strip Lights FAQ What is RGB?
