@@BuildsWithV also another question, do I need to plug in that rgb controller cable? The thinner black one to control the rgb. Or can I just control it through the software?
I dunno man, thats a literal rats nest down there. Dual Chamber cases can be tough..but thats clearly zero management effort. To each their own. @@GoDzkRoNiKz
@@goofytuber9011 Maybe, no one will ever see it..but I will know. Anything worth doing is worth doing right..or at the very least, attempting to. This reminds me of a quote I once heard "You may not be proud of the job that you have..but you can always be proud of the job that you do." Half assing things ain't the way.
Lian Li now makes the 16 Pin RGB Cable for the New GPUs rated for 600watts. Bought mine at Micro Center. This new cable is nice and simplifies all those cables down to just one but you lose all that RGB to only one cable so I kept my old 3 cable 8 pin lines😊 and kept it plugged in and routed it to the GPU anyway and hid it behind the GPU for more RGB goodness. Even though it’s not plugged into the GPU I used the dead plug that comes with the cables as a tester to keep them lit up. Looks much better.
Wow thank u very much im fairly new to pc had mine pre built so i dont know much. I loved these and bought them, had to install and both my usb ports are taken and i didnt know any other way to connect or figure out until i saw u can buy an extender ! Btw ur vid is the besr tutorial, show step by step where everything goes! Very helpful for non tech person like myself!!! 😅 GRACIAS !!!
I have heard of some fan/rgb controllers coming dead on arrival. Lian Li will help you in that case. I had an issue where my usb header came unplugged easily.
Question, do you need to connect the strimer to the mobo or can I just use the LED lights and attach it to my original mobo cord. My issue now is that I'm trying to sync everything together with my asus software.
It's me again. I plan a lot of rgbs in my new pc and all things i know about rgbs so far i learned on your channel🙏 But i have more and more to find out. I would like to know where do you plug in the controller and can this controller control other rgb fans than lian li rgb fans? If so, do i need an argb hub and connect that one with the lian li controller? I hope this is not too much 😅
Hey. Thanks for the video. Do i have t use the cables that came with the strimmer (unsure if it even comes with cables) or is this just an attachment that I put on my already existing cables? Can i even use my own cables?
So if I connect the MicroUSB cable from the controller to the motherboard I don't need to connect the Sync Motherboard ARGB cable (the one with just 2 wires connector to the controller) ?
ok from what I understand, the controller is to connect the cable to the software correct? and I need another controller for the fans? also. can the software sync the fans rgb with the cables?
I pluged my Strimer v2 into my USB header but it's not showing up in L-Connect3 or device manager. The lights come on and I get the stock rainbow effect but I cannot change it at all.
I have the V2's as well but mine are not both synced together, and one of them is addressable through L-Connect 3 and the other isn't... Kindly tell me what's the issue here...
my motherboard has no header or anything, and i have some question if you have time answering, because im still new at this 1. my mother board has no header so i'm curious if i buy the one with controllers how can i sync it or control it. 2. would it sync even tho i have different brands of fans and fan cooler.
i have no more slots to plug the usb cable in motherboard, but in my case i have the set of lian li fans with another rgb controller, could i use that to conect the strimer plus? i mean... not to use the same controler of fans, but a way to plug the controler of cables in the fans controler...
For some reasons Everytime I power on my PC the strimers are max brightness until the lconnect 3 loads up in the background. Any tips to avoid the max brightness at startup?
Unfortunately it’s a bug they still haven’t fixed. When I have one cable a specific color and the other cable another color when I load up it changes both to same color. They said they’re working on a fox but that was back when I made this video. Hopefully soon
Oh, I just turned on my PC today and it seems the issue has been fixed. Yesterday I updated my L connect 3 and seems it may have fixed the issue. I’d suggest you try to update and see if that fixed your issue as well.
So I have been playing around with this for a couple days and my issue/question is can this controller manage my 6 120mm case fans and my 3 120mm AIO fans. I have been into bios and I have not bought a fan controller yet and do not want the extra box in my system unless I have to or buy another product that is all in one. I also have Kingston fury argb ram and there is not even an option for that to be controlled. My boards is an ASUS x570 ProArt Creator series. Thanks
With the V2 Strimer you have plug it into your usb 2.0 header and then download Lconnect and it will automatically pop up. If it’s the V1 strimer then unfortunately it’s not compatible with Lconnect
@@BuildsWithV Thanks i just received mine and that was the one part that was confusing according to their instructions. I have both the triple 8 and 24 pin with l connector. Not interested in controlling from MB.
I read somewhere not to hook up any other sata devices to the same sata port as the strimmer controller. Did you do this or is it ok to daisy chain the sata power?
I will make my build now that i got everything delivered but this just caught my eye! I am new to PC building and want to use these strimers for both my GPU(MSI SUPRIM X 4080/Corsair HX1000i PSU 2022) and MSI WIFI EDGE Z790 mobo - Is it compatible? If not what variant should i go for? I am really lost.. Appreciate it!
Kinda off topic but figure you'd know better than anyone... If one was to do a push pull on the side mounted radiator, would the Unifans on the back side be noticeable through the vent? Trying to decide if it'll be worth purchasing a 4th set of AL120's to serve as the push fans. Well, it'll be worth it regardless but just curious how strong the lighting would shine through. Appreciate your videos man.
You could definitely see the lighting through the mesh but unfortunately on the Evo the fans don’t fit back there. On the old 011D they fit no problem.
Hi, im about to buy SL120 infinity fans. Can I sync strimer 8pin and 24 pin with and 6 sl120 INF fans with Razer dynamic case? Or Do i need to buy nzxt usb internal hub? thanks!!
so i can get all of them working but one single fan and the GPU one. They light up, however i can't use the app to modify their pattern. any ideas? (The one that goes into the motherboard is working just fine just not the GPU one)
I must have two counterfeit strimers because the box setup just has one input for the 24 pin and one for the gpu. The problem I am having is the connector for the gpu does not fit.
I just got the Uni Al120 fans in white. Do you know if the strimer v2 can be plugged into that control box at all or does it have to have a separate box? Super clean video though, easy to see and understand!
Unfortunately it cannot, at least not natively. I’m sure there’s a way around it but it won’t have the same effects and it won’t be detected as the Strimer cables. I’ve seen people do it with the old strimers.
my cable that connects to my GPU isn't lighting up fully for me. the rgb doesn't go from top to bottom they start from the bottom and stop at the middle. I thought it just had like some dead led's but I was messing around in the software and out of no where one out of the 3 cable strips lit up top to bottom fully but is stuck as red yellow white and blue from middle to top. and i can't find the option to mess with it or sync it or change anything about it. ik its confusing so is there anywhere i can send a picture in so you know what im talking about?
awesome cables for the 5 seconds they work :( Upgraded from their previous cables (MOBO + Tripple 8 pin), installed, connected everything perfect. Even double checked by watching "Installation videos of V2 Plus" and everything I saw is what i did. Computer turns on, loads into desktop, open software, can control colors for a couple minutes and BAM... The cables completely disappear from the software and can't control colors anymore. Only thing that shows up in the software is the 9 UNI-SL fans. At first i thought maybe it was bc I only had 2 USB 2.0 Headers on MOBO and I shouldnt be using a splitter, So i got the NZXT Internal USB Hub 3. Same ol sh*t, different pile. I've installed, uninstalled, Ran Revo Uninstaller which uninstalls + deletes remaining folders and entries in registry... zero luck. Apparently a TON of people are having the same issue from what i've seen on youtube / reddit. You ran into any issues at all?
@@winterume me toooooo! Gonna try it as soon as I get out of work. Tried sending in a troubleshooting ticket but they’ve shut it down due to holiday 🤦🏼♂️
Hello love ur videos!, got a question, I got the triple 8pin but my gpu only has 2… should I connect all 3 to the power and 2 to the gpu ? Or just a plug 2 and 2 and leave one out ?
Lian Li only sells 2x8 and 3x8, what do I do with a graphics card with only 1 8-pin connector? Can't seem to seperate the cables since the cable to the RGB controller is attached to both at the same time. Is it safe to just tuck one part away and plug in only one on the GPU side?
My V2s will be here Thursday so I’ll find out soon enough but questions about the software. Does it need to be running after you select an effect? Also can you have profiles?
Once you open L Connect and select an effect you can close it out and the effect stays. Doesn’t even need to be running in the background. Not sure if it needs to start with windows to reapply the effect. As of now you can’t have profiles as far as I can tell but you can export your profile and import them. Same thing but with extra steps.
Just bought the Strimer Plus v2 2x8 GPU cable, I don't have the controller or the 24-pin cable. Is the controller needed to customize the lightning individually? I got it to work with Asus Aura sync but can't change the effects on the cable..
Yeah if you want to change the lighting individually you will need the controller. They sell the controller separately as well if you don’t want the 24-pin
Can anybody help me? I installed the Strimer Plus and a Lian Li Fan Controler (4 groups). Now I installed L3 Connect nut there is no Option for the Strimer Plus. I can change the fans but no strimers.
Will there be any problem if I install it with RGB Fusion controlling other devices? I want to try this software with the gpu cable to test the different RGBFusion effects it offers without uninstalling it because I have some fans configured
You can use the included ARGB dongle thingy and plug it into your motherboard and then switch it to MB sync in l connect 3. Then you can control these with RGB fusion. I believe the gpu Strimer comes with it’s own dongle that can be used to plug it in separately from the controller
If you use the ARGB connector then the strimers will sync to you motherboards software. If that’s what you’re looking for then it’ll work. If you want to control all of your rgb devices with L connect 3 then it’s not really possible unfortunately unless you have all of lian li products
Annoying how only half the cable is lit up. My video card plugs in facing downward on the clip and not the top. So when i plug in my cables it showing the non-lit backside.
You need the controller, you can still use the ARGB on your motherboard but through the controller. The 8-pin of the v1 was able to be plugged directly into ARGB header but the 24-pin was controller only.
Why not go for a 2x8 pin for the cpu-powerconnect on the mobo aswell??????? You should be able to run 3 pcs of strimer cables in every rig. 1 on cpu power 1 for gpu 1 for mobopower. Why haven't anybody done that?
