Major props to the editor for that "deploying flashbang" insert... Effing legend!

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

RGB engineers were so preoccupied with if they could, without thinking if they should. RGB finds a way.

Can't wait to see you inevitably use these in a build 4 to 6 months from now!

“Throwing flashbang”. That was dead on! 😂

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.

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 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.

It exists for people that want more RGB in their case 👍

"THROWING FLASHBANG" was far more funnier than it needs to.

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 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.

These have been out for a while now, really neat. The 16 high voltage pin are solid too.

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!

Great Job Phil "Deploy Flash Bang" Prefect Line LMFAO

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 >

‘DEPLOYING FLASHBANG’….perfect 😂

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!

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

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.

-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. 😊😊

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!

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 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 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😊

Personalisation options are always great. Doesn't matter if other people do or do not like it, do your build how you want to.

When Jay plugged it in .. All that was missing was him screaming MY EYES MY EYES !!! ... lol

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

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

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

When your cables need cables moment.

I love the references to a German coast guard! 😂😂😂 we are sinking!

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.

More RGB = better fps and skill This has been proven!

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 these on my build. Love them. Adds some more style to the build. I also have the GPU power harness as well.

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!

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

"deploying flashbang!" 🤣

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

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.

PLEASE dont stop the i fix it skits lmao 🤣

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.

It’s never enough…add more RGB!!!!

It can never go too far jay 😅

If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years of watching pc heads on KZfaq is there’s never enough rgb

Knew about these a year ago when I made my build, glad Jay could eventually feature them.

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!"

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.

The strimers are awesome. I got some for my GF in V1 and they fill in the RGB profile so well

I have 3x Strimers in my build currently. There is no such thing as too much RGB. Done well they look good.

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.

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

"What are you sinking about" - I understood that reference!!!

All the rules went out the window when we started installing UV reactive cables back in the IDE days.

1:40 - throwing flashbang 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The throwing flash bang had me laughing hard 🤣

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.

that i fix it thing yall do never gets old 🤣

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!

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

I got them both and they are FANTASTIC!!! Will buy again.

Props Dax. Love your stuff.

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 love them, I had the old ones and have been waiting for the 12V

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.

LianLi: _"You wanted some _*_flash_*_ to go with that _*_bang,_*_ right?"_

Hey jay I purchased these cables 2 weeks ago you can adjust the rgb cable along the power cable so you can close the gap that’s what the plastic clamps are for

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 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 installed both the GPU and PSU in my Thermaltake Core P3 TG Pro and I absolutely love them. The Drizzling effect at 25% brightness and speed is my go-to. I have a 3080TI and the connectors for them seem to be not as long as the one you show for some reason.

“Deploying Flashbang” 😂

I have one of these and think it’s great. I had just the typical fan and ram rgb before and it always looked a bit empty but now the strimmer plus a gpu with some lighting on it really rounds it out, but as jay found out it needs to be on like half brightness lol. Also it’s not on any crazy mode, I just switch all my lighting between solid colors every few months

Got the microcenter Inland brand version of this, it was the only part of the build my partner got excited about, lol.

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...

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 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 I Fix It commercial is funny, I enjoy watching it every time.

I like these, I keep meaning to do them in a build, and never get around to it. Now that I see them in a video, I might do it for my current rig at least the power cable, I think it'd look neat and I can use it as another source of ice green to go with the ram, cpu cooler, and fans.

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.

No such thing as too much RGB lighting, no, such, thing, Jay! >=0

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 do wish i had rgb extension cables. some of the effects of their lighting is really good

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.

Absoltuely necessary for my asthetic, can't wait to build with these! 😍

Reminds me of old IDE cables and how we used to round them for better airflow.

I personally like the 24 pin version because, as you pointed out, it bends back into the case in a way that makes it look less intrusive. I like to use the data stream effect as a way of visualizing power flowing into the system, or occasionally I'll connect it to external software like SignalRGB and use custom effects on it. It's definitely a niche product though, and the price alone probably puts it pretty squarely in the "enthusiast" category as far as PC parts go.

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.

I actually have the 24pin lighting. I love it. I do keep the same mindset as Phill though. I like rgb but only if your pc hardware is where you want it first. If it needs an upgrade, do that first imo

I remember a while back, J2 cents had a video where a customer wanted as much RGBs in the case. So he used RGB stickers to place it in the case.

I mean.... the GPU cable not lighting up the entire way when plugged into the 24-pin header makes sense. They probably have that control box set up so that it lights up x amount of LED's for each individual header to match the number of LEDs in each cable. Same as when you try to make your own custom length LED strip and use a little controller for it with wLED or something of the sort. Have to specify not only the power available, but the number of LED's in the strip you're using.

I have these in my case. My local Micro Center had a ton of open box ones so I got them dirt cheap.

If I want RGB, I'd just get one of them Christmas lights decoration and wrap them around my PC. Not only are they cheap, but you also get a remote control alongside as a bonus.

I'm waiting for illuminated RGB screws and rivets in the cases before I get this far into it.
