Lian Li 8 Pin GPU Power Strimer - Show Yourself - 30 cm [8+8 pin]

I recently purchased the Lian Li Strimer RGB PSU Cable (24 Pin, Black) and couldn't be happier with my experience! The speed of shipping and delivery allowed me to finish my build quickly, which helped me out a ton.

It works. but it can be affected by the surrounding colors and looks a shade or two off. Very apparent when it's white, 255R, 255G, 255B. For example it looks like a light lime green instead of white.Installation could be easier. It's a 5V 3 pin I believe. It does come with a controller for an PcI slot if you dont have a compatible motherboard. I just plug it to the same strip as the one that controls my case RGB (Evolv X).At the discounted Amazon price, it is a good buy. If the lights dont work or fail you at least get a high quality 24pin extender that is white (which Cablemod charges $40+ for).

Tough to bend:I have the Lian Li PC-011DW 011 mid tower and with my GTX1080 sticking outwards I cannot close the side panel without leaning against the tower, while pulling the cords underneath the video card to not push everything into the motherboard as I close it up.Because of the bending the clip that holds the RGB line to the top of the wires keeps popping itself off in the back of the case in front of the fan (picture). Also, the bending caused everything to untidy itself so now the wires look messy.I bet anyone with a vertical GPU placement in their case will have no issues with this.Destroyed my thumbs:Getting the wires into the clips is OK most of the time with the tool. Getting them out to re-adjust was impossible on the bottom wires. You have to twist and pull upwards in order to do it but it was super frustrating.Cable came out of the end (picture):Happened when trying to bend the cable while adjusting it inside my case. Took it all out and tried to put it back in but it doesn't actually fit back into the hole. I tried to unscrew the little plastic piece because it looks like that's what holds it in, but the screws don't even move.RGB's are bright have a bunch of modes which I like except you know, the "turn off the lights" mode. They're always on. I found out that the only way to connect them to say iCUE is to buy adapters off ebay to connect to only certain corsair RGB hubs.I do not recommend buying this but do still recommend the 24 pin power one.

If your looking for a unique RGB accessory this is it. Is very unique. The colors are vivid. The controller for is nice. Instead of having a switch dangling around on a cable, they attached it to pci slot so you put it in an expansion slot. It's kind of a pain to switch the modes because it's in the back. However the one problem I ran into was that the cable to sync up to the motherboard does not come with it. In the instructions it says it comes with your motherboards accessories which my motherboard did not have. Other then that it seems well built. I would recommend it.

Installed this on my Msi 570 carbon pro board and I gotta say it is stunning. I would have given this a five star, however the tight curl you need it to make coming off the board then looping back into the case leaves the inner row of wires trying to crush upwards. It took me hours trying to get this acceptable. I wish they would make this with the lower row of wires shorter with a pre curl! Instead of manufacturing them with equal length wires on both upper and lower rows while lying perfectly flat. Which is not how they end up. Virtually every aftermarket custom wire harness I have seen could use this thought. That simple change would make this totally a stellar product. Pretty sure I will take mine apart and shorten the lower row in the near future. That being said, I have friends now buying these as mine is just freaking cool. And yeah, I am an older guy, but really like the look here. The control module is an easy install and easy to use. Be careful when plugging the leads in though, as the board connectors are pretty flimsy. Looks even better with braiding like I did on mine. The color variations you can program have a pretty good selection. All in all, this is one of the most dramatic rgb additions you will ever add to your build!

The way these are built the LED part only mounts on one side of the power cable. So to have the LED facing out - you have to come to the graphics card from the top of the case (or at least above the graphics card and come in from the front). Like most ATX cases my power supply is on the bottom at the back. To run this from the top means to route the power cables to the back, up to the top and back out just to run the power back down to the graphics card. I guess this gives the best view and biggest viewing capability. But I don't want to route it that way. I have expensive RGB memory I don't need more light in that area. But at the bottom of the case, no fans (not rgb anyway) so some light down there is called for. If these were made with the cable guides being reversible or have the LED guides on both sides they would be awesome for any system. I cannot speak to the quality of the LED lighting as I never plugged them in. Oh, I almost forgot - the connector on the LEDs looks like a 3 pin fan power connector rather that a 3pin 5v RGB, or maybe even a Gigabyte VDG 3pin - would not have plugged directly to my motherboard (ASUS Gaming X570-Plus (WIFI)). Probably plugs right into the controller that comes with the 24pin.

Vibrant colors and was easy to install. Cables are stiff and need to be adjusted as close to how you want them as possible before connecting. Makes the process alot easier. At least for me anyway. Would love to have an actual controller for this since I don't have an rgb pin on my Mobo and have to use manual pci slot remote. Overall, it's very nice and if you're into rgb and already have fans that are rgb, this and their pcie cables will complete a very cool looking presentation in you PC Case.

I bought it used from this seller so unsure if this would happen normally but the cable wouldn't snap all the way in to the motherboard and it actually shorted it. Had to get a whole new one.
