Lian Li Strimer Plus V2 installation guide (24-pin and 2 x 8 pin GPU RGB power cables)

Рет қаралды 189,217

Күн бұрын

This is an unboxing and installation of @LIANLIHQ 's Strimer Plus V2 kit which is RGB extension kits that come with either 24-pin motherboard cables or dual or triple 8-pin PCIe GPU cables. This is quite possibly the easiest way to add RGB lighting to your case and in this video I'm showing you how I did just that in the Lian Li Air Mini.

Thank you for the video! I was looking for somehow change the ugly original cables of my Asus TUF RTX 3080Ti and I found here a good explanation. I have an Asus TUF Gaming GT501 case so I guess I'll have more than enough space to hide the cables behind (this case is huge) so I'm going now to buy those beautiful Lian cables! I was confused by the 2 connection of this new 3080 instead of 3 which I had on my ex-3090Ti Suprim X (which I returned because of extremely high temperature in my house🤣and bought this 3080 which is anyway a beast and for sure more than I need). Now after watching you everything is clearr, that option of 2 or 3 separate connectors is awesome this Lian guy makes all the things really thinking in consumers needs. Thanks again, greeting s from Spain!

@elkamynante Жыл бұрын

@Unknown Perfect for my setup. Everything works flawless! The 3080Ti itself is also perfect for my current needs. I would have liked to keep the 3090Ti but no. Lot of heat and power consumption for just a little more fsp. For me personally it's not worth it.

@@TheProvokedPrawn Cheers! I have a 24 pin v1 as it is. It was originally paired with a double 8 pin strimer plus v1. They were a perfect match but I found the colors to be a little faded; the blue was more of a green, the purple very pink. I upgraded graphics cards and bought a newer triple 8 pin v1. It did not match my original 24 pin, the blue is blue and the purple purple. Lol. Bought the v2 hoping it would be a closer match. Haven't received it yet, I'll soon see.

Hi there, i find your videos very useful and helpful , i have a question ? i have just followed almost exactly as you done, ( i got them both after seeing this video ) However , i never plugged in is never plugged in the usb header , as i only have 2 and there both in use ! One is from my AL- fans and the second one is ,well , for my usb's and power on etc from my case !! I noted the instructions saying you could use ether the cable on the GPU strimer , to connect straight to the box , or connect same cable to that strange looking extension connecter, with the 3 pin 5v MB header , again i only have two 5v headers both also being used , so i connected via the controller , leaving off both the USB and that other 4 pin connector with only one wire , as i have no idea where it goes or what its for ...?!? Long story short, i am getting zero ARGB lights :-( but i am thinking although i downloaded both L connect 2 and 3 my strimers are not showing up . My PC powers up and graphics RGB is all good ...so did your lights come on once powered up or do i need to activate them first ? Sorry its a bit long winded , only I'm gutted and hoping by explaining what i have and haven't done so far , you can literally shine some light on where i might have gone wrong 😑 many thanks 😊

@galaxydrug 2 жыл бұрын

If you have enough slack so the end that connects to the original cable is in the back of the case, you can just put it off to the side. It will look fine. Judging by what I've seen about the software you can control the different rows of lights separately, so I would assume you could turn off the lighting on the one you're not using somehow.

@chyhart 7 ай бұрын

I went with the 16-12PV2 to the GPU's included cable that has 4 power connectors. I was wary about using only 3 power connections on this 4090. While the cables fit in either of the hubs ports, and the 24 pin worked in both slots, i learned that the single end spot is for the 24 in mobo connector and The side with 2 inputs and a toggle switch is for the gpu strimer. I just ran into and issue where 1/5 of my gpu strimer lights were not working,. Lian Li support told me about this. As soon as i switched them to their intended spots, all lights worked. Another video on installing these cables also did not mention plugging in the small RBG connection cable, and also said you only had to use the Micro USB cable it comes with. It wasn't an "alternative option" and proved wrong- for my set up at least. The lian li controller software did not recognize the hub and its connected strimers until i plugged in the tiny RGB header plug. The RBG connector is the only way i was able to utilize the lian li software and set up my lighting settings. with out it, you just get default rainbow settings. And with out the micro USB I got no lights at all. 4:24 I'm wondering, if you can find a strimer attachment to use with existing cables. I have a white build so they are perfect out of box for me (save the white clip swap outs) but my fiance has a black and red build with nice black and red cable mods. He just wants the light strip and not extra cables. hmm i've been searching with out results.

Use the usb connection and you can control the RGB via L Connect

I got the lian li can connector box when I bought a triple pack of the fans set up, would these be able to connect into that or does it have to be a whole new box connector? Anyone know?

So i have a genuine concern. So i got the 24 pin connector and i plugged it into the main 24 pin cable just like youre supposed to, but i didnt connect the rgb cable because i dont have enough usb2.0 ports. But when i turned on my pc and went into valorant my gpu (i believe) started making a whining noise and my fans started getting really loud. So i turned off the pc and unplugged the strimmer and plugged in the main cable back into the motherboard and it still did the same thing. Currently it should be in the same condition as it was before the strimmer (atleast it should be) but im just genuinely scared and mad because idk what happened. Btw my pc never made a whining noise prior to doing this. It was comepletely silent before.

Will this work with a 4090? I know they run some crazy cable setup now so I wasn't sure about compatibility.

@TheProvokedPrawn Жыл бұрын

I believe Lian Li is working on a new model that will.

@VeeTalksStuff Жыл бұрын

So if I were to do the 8 pin cables over the top of the gpu, the rgb would be facing the wrong way and I couldn't see the rgb right? Because the clips can't be flipped.

"theres one for a double 8 pin, and a triple 8 pin, you have a switch that switches between the two, so you can't get it wrong.. but make sure you have your switch pointing in the right direction for it to work" And my hour long investigation is completed -_- thank you for the video lol. One thing that isn't solved: I tried the other way where I could have my Asus Armory crate software control all of the RGB, and it only worked with the triple 8 pin connected directly into an ARGB header. Despite the lian LI box being connected into an ARGB header, the software could not detect it and as such, it just stayed permanent rainbow.... Wonder why? or am i just stupid again somewhere?
