- Learn how to install LED Lighting in any PC case using LED strips.
The process is very simple ant the tutorial is easy to follow.
F.A.Q.
// Which LEDs am I using?
// I had this cheap roll of LED strip laying around that I bought from a local hardware store. It's a single coloured 12 V led strip.
// Which LED Strips can be used?
// Any strip as long as it runs at 12 volts DC and requires only 2 power connections (12V and Ground).
//Can you use RGB LEDs?
//It Depends, if the strip has a controller at one end to control the current and only requires power no data signal, then you can use it. But if it has 4 contact points that need to be connected than this method won't be sufficient.
//Can you turn the Lights on and off?
//The LEDs turn on when you boot up your PC and turn off when you shut down.
If you wish to keep the LEDs off while the PC is on then you will have to physically unplug the wires from the Molex Connector.
//Do you need the Jumper wires?
//NO. My power supply's Molex power line came with the female header at the end which makes the jumper cables a perfect fit but if you don't have jumper cables or the female header at the end of the molex connection wire then you can simply connect normal wires to the molex connector.

Those lights look super awesome in the computer case! You did a great job.
really really really thx bro i installed these in my 10 year core 2 quad pc 8 gram it now glows led i really appreciate your work thx again keep up the good work.
Do you need to get a better power suply for the PC?
+Raccoon Gameplays Not really, such a short strip doesn't take much more power than a CD-Drive.
So most important question. How much did it improve the FPS?
I started getting 240fps on my 30Hz monitor. Only on minecraft.
@@LiveSparks is it a joke?
OWNAGE PRANKS LMAO
very good and informative video. Other people that i watched have done it in a much more sophisticated way. Your way was really simple. Bit how can i connect the simple wires to the molex connector without the jumper cables? My Psu has the female port. Do i have to cut it?
what are the pins you connected on the yellow and black wires??
jumper cables
At 2:01, your yellow and black wires have some sort of black adapter on them that looks like it allows them to securely connect into the molex? What are those called?
jumpers
i love indian accent, it reminds me of raj :)
hell yeah
Alexis Longoria who's that?

Bhai the connectors you used to derive power from the molex socket those pin like structures you entered in 12v and gnd socket
I did it and it looks awesome I can't wait to show it to my friends Perfect tutorial bro!
bro we can connect multiple fans to samr molex socket in parallel ?
my corsair molex has all black wires... what to do??
Hi can u make a video describing types of led strips. I don't get it
What is the cost of led strip which you are using and the name of cable. Please tell me the exact price. I also need to buy one. Please.
I don't remember the exact cost(This was a while ago). But I know that it was fairly cheap. I bought the strip from a local store instead of going online. What cable are you referring to?
Those are breadboard jumper wires but they are not really necessary, just use any wires that you can shove into the molex connector.
@@LiveSparks Thank You sir for your consultance.
Plz make a video on different types of molex wire
Thanks for the video. One question. I understand that you are using the yellow wire from a molex connector (12v). How come at 1:00 in the video, you connect the red cable from the LED strip to a yellow "jumper cable". Shouldn't the LED strip have a yellow cable (instead of red/black) as well since it's 12v? Thanks for your time.
Also, at 0:50, it looks like the original wires coming from the LED strip are white/black. So it seems like colors alone are not a good indicator of voltage? In this video there is seemingly a white 12v wire from the LED strip, and a yellow 12v wire from the molex connector.
+GG Nomix the molex connectors are color coded universally, so the yellow wire will always be 12v.
There is no universally accepted color code for led strips. I just used the jumper cables that had been previously damaged, it was a coincidence that it was yellow. The color for the strip doesn't really matter as long as the connections are correct.
That makes sense, thanks.
Damn you are dense.
Looks beautiful nice work.
Does anyone understand this?
dude.. RGB Strips requires 12V at max 1-2 amp of current but you have connected it to the molex which indeed provide 12 volts but it has over 30-50 amp of current depending of the smps models. that would damage the LED/RGB strip... wont it?
No. Any electronic device won't draw anymore current than it requires as long as the supplied voltage is within it's ratings.
We both have the same case so I can't wait to try this :D
+Johny1220 Send me a pic when your case is done!
You should make the inside black and white not a shit ton of diffrent colors
from where did u buy NZXT case i wanted the razer edition but cant find
+Dev mdcomputers.in
which is the best case around or under 10k?
nothing is in stock on the website u gave
+Dev try primeabgb.com
Razer edition is a nice case. It comes with a card placed in the back (cable basket) that split differents green leds (5 and 12v). But there's no room left in this card to connect other leds.
Bro I have two molex connectors 1=hard disk wire(molex)
2=disk drive wire (molex)
Which one should I connect bro
HDD wire or disk drive wire ???
Please reply bro pls pls pls 🙏🙏🙏
So I plugged the molex into the PSU, and plugged the LED strip in. Where does the molex attach to the motherboard, I can't find the header. If I just turn the power on the led's do not come on. Any help?
Molex itself doesn't connect to the motherboard. There should be a really big connector for the motherboard from the PSU. The molex gets power when the motherboard turns on.
Saved my ass. Okay I know it's not ideal one but on a budget and rgb strips lying around this is perfect
That pc looks gash I would be trying to hide it not show it off
Well, it's a good thing the video is about how to install led's in your case, and not "how to build a monster gaming pc" ..........
I have an HP Phoenix pavilion PC and it has ugly bright red lights. How do I turn them off?
unplug them from the molex
1:46 what is the cable that ill insert called?
I want to ask a question lets say i have RGB 16 feet led Strips!
When i will cut the strip requried for my pc and connect it with the receiver that came with led stirps that allow you to change the colour through the remote?
What happen with rest led! bcz say i cut 1 ft now 15ft left! how to change their colour
+Ahmad Hussain you can always buy the controllers separately.
best channel ever love you bro
My pc don't have molex wire 😭
HI, i have RGB led strip but i only need 1 color. im not planning to connect the remote receiver to the molex connector. i just want to directly connect the LED strip to the molex connector. the receiver has an output current of 6A and an input of 12v, can i still use your method without burning out my led strip?
+DarkLight Yes you can, just connect the color you want to the yellow wire.
What i need to do i dont have molex wire in my computer!?!?
Thx man very good instructions
Can i use just tape rather soldering iron because I don't have it
+all inOneR. Sure. Just make sure that the connection is strong enough.
ummm i dont have soldering iron.Can i just use electric tape?
+SeaSpotlight it would work, just make sure that you have a good enough connection.
thx!
Were do you connected the jump wires bro
Thanks man, worked for me!
For any questions, first check out the FAQs in the video description.
If you still have doubts, feel free to ask.
Where did you buy the Jumper wires?
+Lorenzo Quadri ebay
can u still use the rest of the rgb stip
say as in for backgroung lighting behind a desk
+Kevin K.T Yes, of course. Just solder some wires to the exposed copper ends and you are good to go. For an example see my latest video where I used the leftover strip to make a LED panel.
When i hook it up to my pc it doesn't give me a white color. It's orange. All colors work great except blue. When I hook it up to the original plug to put in an outlet it works fine. Is this a power issue?
What U used to plug in the molex wire....what is that connector??
+Usama Ashfaq Those are breadboard jumper cables, you don't necessarily need them. You can just use bare wires.
thanks that's very helpful bro. But what was that which you used to connect into smps
+DAEMONE GREEK I used jumper cables but you can use simple wires to connect to the molex connector.
doesnt it affect my psu?
+DAEMONE GREEK Not if the wiring is done correctly.
ok thanks buddy
+DAEMONE GREEK No problem!
Bhai, i want my led strip to light up fully when PC is using HDD, is there any way to utilize the motherboard HDD light key in front panel section and achieve this??
did you find out if that was possible? sounds interesting
Really helpful thank you!
Thanks
Thanks man helped a lot : )
Thanks man really helped me
Thank you a lot good job man it works amazing
I have 12 volt DC white led strip, will it work?
Yes
Dayum that's clean
Thank you I will try it
which pc cabinet is this?
How much watt those led strips take and wont it coz heating issue,since that led strip generates alot of heat?
LED's are very efficient. They generate very little waste heat. Dont worry
Very good video
how long was the strip in that case? i'm getting LEDs and i've got the same case
+Mang Mister it was less than 2 meters by my approximation, I might be wrong so better get at least 3.
what are the red/black wires called?
use heat shrink tubing for soldered wires, and 2 strip of wire. not having two joins between them is just plain stupid!
thats so bright :D you can use it as a lamp too :D
+dance4ever79 My keyboard doesn't have backlights, this helps!
bro thx you are awesome easy explanation
superb
I want RGB Leds, so is it going to work if I get an RGB led strip, a controller and a remote plus a sata to molex adapter? Because I want to connect the led controller to the sata to molex adaptor by cutting off the sata connector and connecting the wires from the controller to the wires of the molex connector. What do you think?
+JellyyFISH That will work flawlessly.
Live Sparks Thanks man! You helped me a lot!
JellyyFISH the leds and controller come as a pack.
Okay. Thanks!
?where can I get Molex
+red brad molex wires will be attached to the power supply
red brad , the cables that come out of a PSU
thank you
Thank you sir!
amazing to the point video 👍
Being 666 likes a don't want to change that. So just to say thx, thumb up, clear video.
Very well explained :)
thanks you sooooo much!
do led strips lights stick on its own? or glue is needed?
+Dave ster No glue needed
thanks easy to follow video
very nice
thanks
nicely done
Koi problem to nathi ayega na cpu me sir
Nice and also please suggest me a good case under 3000rs. I am also getting the same specs.
Here's a case that I found : www.primeabgb.com/online-price-reviews-india/antec-x1-t-gaming-cabinet-with-window-black-2/
Sorry but antec is not available in my locality and I can increase my budget to max 3500 Rs.
Is this a good pc-
i5 6500
zotac gtx 1060 mini 6gb
8gb corsair vengeance ddr4
WD 1 TB BLUE
CORSAIR VS 550
ASUS H110 MOBO
The seller is giving me a circle cc 821 cabinet. Is this a good cabinet? Please help me..
Just checkout the website primeabgb.com they have some really good cases
+divyansh agnihotri pretty nice rig.
The cabinet looks cool
Thanks for help.
good video... also make how to install extra fan.
+Puipuia Hmar You put the fan where you want it and screw it in.
Live Sparks through the smps or Motherboard? Can i connet through SMPS?
+Puipuia Hmar You can connect the fan to the power supply via a molex connector but usually the motherboard has extra connections for case fans.
Thank you!!
+Filippo Zilio your welcome
thankyou!
Does it affects on cpu
No
i don't have these power connectors
+Abdul Munam You might be using a really old power supply when SATA and PCI-E weren't very popular or you might be using such a low Wattage PSU that PCI-E power won't work out. Whatever the reason, you need to buy a modern PSU with enough wattage to run all your components.
yes.sorry for that i have 6-pin connector
can your graphic card Nvidia 1060 can work on 6 pin conector ?
+Abdul Munam Yes
thanks man you are cool
how many meters of led strip you used to cover the case ????
+Μιχάλης Φουτζις I think it was just above 1 meter
cool ty....btw u covered 3/4 of the case ?
+Μιχάλης Φουτζις yes, because the strip would have been visible on the bottom.
great youve been very helpfull now i know how to do it cause i thought 1 meter wouldnt be enough
+Μιχάλης Φουτζις It really depends on your case, those strips come in 5 meter packs anyway.
Thats not a molex connector...that is floppy connector
nice
good one bhai
Nice video
V good
U have 1060 gpu?
Yes
Zotac right? I have same one!
Bro my led becoming very hot

great
When you hear an Indian accent in a tutorial video ure guaranteed that it will solve 100 % of ur problems
Pls use flash light next time when plugging in wires! So damn dark.
I tried do it multiples ways, a camera flash just makes everything darker. You really need a big video production light that I don't have.
why red ram ?????!!!
+Matic Cizl because it was the cheapest and there were no color options.
Live Sparks oh
nice tip I liked this video yes!!!!👍😅
your case looks like my anidees AI-05S-BW ATX Mid Tower Silent PC Case :)
lol four years later
you are a hardware engineer
+Abdul Munam No. But I am in my second year for being a computer science engineer.
i knew that
i am look ing for you kind of people
+Abdul Munam what kind of people?
i love computer engineer and i myself want to be a computer engineer.
what kind of power supply did you use ? Did you use the one that has additional pin connectors for gaming graphics cards
+Abdul Munam I has the PCI-E power connectors but that doesn't matter. It only needs to have molex power connector which almost every computer power supply has.
looking back that pc looks terrible
I don't think it ever looked pretty. I just threw together whatever I could afford at that time. I thought it was decent then.
@@LiveSparks at the time it was a great pc but oh god dude the intel cooler killed me
Interestingly enough, that is the one thing that I have never thought about replacing. It works surprisingly well. Never had any throttling issues. It just looks bad.
@@LiveSparks i assume it does, but the look hurts
You could have bought a cheaper case with your specs lawl.
