Watched this video over and over until I finally understood all the connections. Thanks for taking the time to explore each of the connection options. It was a massive help.
Watched your video in micro center only bought the 24pin version got home installed it super easy downloaded the software I’m in love I’m headed out the door to get the 8pin
Not sure if this is 365 days Pc build or you are trying to get my number. Man’s voice is more relaxed than me on my bday. Stronger than my relationship
Thank you for this brother 😊 Putting together a new rig and your guide was, as some of my British mates say, BRILLIANT! It’s been a few years since I built a rig.
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!
@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.
I just bought this Lian Li PW16-12PV2 Strimer Plus V2 - Power Extension Cable - Power 4 Pin To Power 4 Pin For my ASUS 4090 I’m hoping they will work with it
Hi, I'm trying to find an answer regarding the double 8 pin cable , and i have a 4060ti gigabyte oc which only has 1 8 pin connector. Is it still possible to use the one with 2 8 pin and how do you hide the other half ?
Your Lian Li Build is so Insane, that is my dream PC Build now.. I like to build by myself but I have no experience building PC, if i can im sure i can save tons of dollars. Now, I look on Building PC Company and they don’t have all the Complete Lian Li Build and also it cost so much like a double 😭.
Great video. Thanks for the amazing explanation. If we connect 24-Pin cable using the argb header, does the Lconnect Controller still needs to be connected with USB header?
Does I have to plug the cables into this Controller or is it enough to plug the extentions into the actual cables and Controlling it then with the Software?
Fantastic video. Watched it twice yet wanted to confirm, this cable is compatible with most 4090 GPUs right? 24 pin is usually the most common I find around. Thanks!
3:48 do you have to use the control box or can you just hook straight to the mother board and go with generic RGB lighting? Apologies, I’m a bit late to the party. But happy new year!
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.
"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?
Thanks for the helpful video! Can you use the control box from the Uni fans? To control fans and the 24 pin and 3x8pcie strimer extensions? Or will you need 2 control boxes, a box for strimer and a box for fans?
would these work with an 8pin and 6pin gpu? I'm new to pc building and want to make sure I'm not wasting my money on the rgb lighting if they don't connect
Can I just check that, if I want to use the Lian Li L Connect 3 software instead of the motherboard controls for the lighting, the only cables I need to use is a SATA power cable (for the lighting controller box) and a free USB slot on my motherboard. I just wanted to check before I buy it 🙂
Very cool, i have the gen b4 this and may sell them and buy these instead. Do you think these are a big improvement over previous gen? They look great 👍!! I ended up selling my originals and brought the v2s, just installed them into my new pc, they are great, very easy to install!
@@TheProvokedPrawn hey Prawn, my strimer plus does not light up when i turn on my PC but the gpu lights are on and everything is as well. how can i fix this?
@@TheProvokedPrawn If I've only bought the 3x8 pin cables (no controller included), where do I plug the small black cable into to control it? and can i still control it through the L-Connect 3 software without the controller?
The EPS cable is mostly on the upper left side of the mainboard, so including the free end space of the cable without lighting you won`t see any light if it would be a strimer one. Given that you use normal cable management.
@@TheProvokedPrawn@computergeek3407c an we split the dual 8 pin PCIe connector for 8+6pin GPU PCIe connector ? My gpu is rx 6700xt 8+6 pin PCIe connector I want to know if it is compatible
I'm looking to buy a set of Lian Li infinity fans aswell as a 24 pin Lian Li strimer. These two products come with each their own controller. Can I just use one controller, say - the one from the fans to controll all of this? It'd be so much better for me if I could use one hub only.
Great video thanks very much, just learning that the 24 pin comes with the controller swayed me so I will get some, as cheaper options only really work if you have 2 ARGB headers on your MOBO, have you tried them with Signal RGB to see what effects can be done on there?
@@TheProvokedPrawn Apparently they can work in a limited fashion, or you need a DIY controller, back to looking at the Airgoo ones, which I'll only be able to use one of due to only one header on my MOBO, so probably 24 pin, worth you checking out as an alternative option.
so my strimer is displaying green right now, and I cant change the colour. Ive downloaded L-connect 3, and it only has system info and settings displayed on the left... I have a msi tomahawk motherboard if that matters. Can I have some help please?
I don’t have enough usb ports on my motherboard but can I use Corsair’s Internal 4-Port USB 2.0 Hub to plug that into my motherboard and plug the usb port for the control box into that hub?
It seems that you can't use this if you already have the galahad AIO and the lian li fan control hub because you've already used both of the existing USB connections on the motherboard board. Is that right?
im doing a lian li build with sl infinits and galahad etc. Im up at 4 usb cables. I only have 2 slots on my motherboard for it. What can i do to find a solution?
my 4080S Zotac does have 3x 4 Pin connectors, so I have to buy 2 Packages I guess ? will that works within lconnect as well ? do I need then 2 hubs ? maybe I leave it as it is then and just buy the 24pinn connector to my white build. Just found my Answer on Lian website:D just -> Strimer Plus V2 for gpu or 24 atx power cable
Hello, I just purchased these for my 1st ever build - The GPU ones have more cable than I need i have only 8pin on my GPU (4060Ti) do I need to return & purchase something different or ??
Hi i been looking for this answer but cant find it. In this build im almost done. Have a msi suprim x 3090 ti card. It uses a 3 in 1 cable adapter to go to card. I ran that into a liam li 3 plug strimmer for 30 series cards. Im using a be quit dark pro 1200 watt psu. I ran one psi cable that splits into 2 - connectors that go into liam li strimer cable from power supply. I then plugged in another pci cable that put in 3rd plug on stimer cable from power supply. Now theres the other part of that pci cable dangling thats not being used. Is that correct. ?
Hello. Have a 3070ti so no official strimer available. I bought the 2x8 pins one and i hope i can just use the LED part, attach it to my current CPU cables and thats it. Do you think it will be ok ?
i have both the 8pin and 24pin cord and i have it all pluged in and only 1 cord lights up and i can switch between them but only one cord lights up? any help for why thats happening
Is it possible to connect the Strimer Plus V2 into the controller box that comes with the Galahad 2 Trinity SL-INF aio? Or would I need the seperate controller?
So I have an Asus RTX 4070 and it only has a single 8 pin connector. Is there a Lian Li strimmer that is compatible with it? I have not been able to find one so far.
Yes they make 2 versions. I have the double pin one on my 3070 and my friend has the single on his 3060. They make 4 of these strips. 3 for gpu's and one for motherboards
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.
Love your videos i subbed. Do i need a liam li module for each of the cables. One box for gpu and a bix for motherboard connector?. For the gpu im using a liam li 3 plug connector.
I built my first pc but the lian li strimmer v2 cables wont luminate, I'm not sure what i did wrong. When i also use it on my gpu the computer wont post and the lights on the moderboard is orange on the VGA section. When i remove the lian li strimmer cables the computer boots fine.
Sounds like you've not plugged it fully in to the PSU cables. As for the lighting, have you connected all the cables as shown? It might be the switch on the control box is in the wrong place
@@TheProvokedPrawn Thanks, i will put them back in and try again when i get home at 5am. But my board also have the 3 pin connector you mentioned. But does it matter which ones i plug it in? i recalled seeing 2 of them. one at the top and one at the bottom.
Does the led start to light up as soon as you "Power On" or do you need the software before? I ask because my rgb's aren't working on these not my fans, can't figure out why they are working?
Hellooo bro I need some helpp I connected everything but since all my usb headers are used up by all my fans I connected the strimmer to my motherboard via the jrainbow2 on my b550 msi mag tomahawk max wifi but the strimmer wont turn on any tips my pc is working fine aswell everything turns on I also just ordered a nzxt usb 2.0 hub if that solves my issue aswell just wanted a temporary fix
Hello, is it necessary to connect the argb cable to control the modes, or is it only necessary to use the usb? I have a motherboard that has a 12v connector and it is not compatible

If I have the LCD Gallahad, Strimer V2 and Uni Fans, do I need all three controller boxes?
So I have an Asus RTX 4070 and it only has a single 8 pin connector. Is there a Lian Li strimmer that is compatible with it? I have not been able to find one so far.
Yes they make 2 versions. I have the double pin one on my 3070 and my friend has the single on his 3060. They make 4 of these strips. 3 for gpu's and one for motherboards
How you get both in a combo ?
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.
Love your videos i subbed. Do i need a liam li module for each of the cables. One box for gpu and a bix for motherboard connector?. For the gpu im using a liam li 3 plug connector.
No the box does both the GPU and motherboard cables
@@TheProvokedPrawn thank u so much.
If I want to have the Lin li effects I must use the usb 2.0 motherboard connection? I bought the triple 8pin for gpu and the 24pin
Yes
I built my first pc but the lian li strimmer v2 cables wont luminate, I'm not sure what i did wrong. When i also use it on my gpu the computer wont post and the lights on the moderboard is orange on the VGA section. When i remove the lian li strimmer cables the computer boots fine.
Sounds like you've not plugged it fully in to the PSU cables. As for the lighting, have you connected all the cables as shown? It might be the switch on the control box is in the wrong place
@@TheProvokedPrawn Thanks, i will put them back in and try again when i get home at 5am. But my board also have the 3 pin connector you mentioned. But does it matter which ones i plug it in? i recalled seeing 2 of them. one at the top and one at the bottom.
@@EG-O 5vRGB? No, it's fine to use either
@@TheProvokedPrawnomg thank you so much! It was the switch haha 😆 it’s working great now :)
@@EG-O excellent. It's nice when it's an easy fix 👍
Dumb question here but do you have to have the Lian Li fans for them to even work?
No. But you do need the Strimer controller that comes with the 24pin
@@TheProvokedPrawn thanks 😊
Does the led start to light up as soon as you "Power On" or do you need the software before?
I ask because my rgb's aren't working on these not my fans, can't figure out why they are working?
Can you plug these into the hub that comes with the Lian Li Uni fans?
No
@@flo_ssjwhy wouldn’t you be able to?
@@Yungdilas the strimer hub is an rgb hub while the uni hub is a fan controller
@@YungdilDifferent models, and obviously manufacturer companies want to squeeze money out of its consumers' pockets.
no sadly :(
Am I right in saying that controller is the same as the SL120 V2 fan controller?
Hellooo bro I need some helpp I connected everything but since all my usb headers are used up by all my fans I connected the strimmer to my motherboard via the jrainbow2 on my b550 msi mag tomahawk max wifi but the strimmer wont turn on any tips my pc is working fine aswell everything turns on
I also just ordered a nzxt usb 2.0 hub if that solves my issue aswell just wanted a temporary fix
my 24pin’s rgb does not sync with the rest. i even used signal rgb, do u know what should i do
Hello, is it necessary to connect the argb cable to control the modes, or is it only necessary to use the usb? I have a motherboard that has a 12v connector and it is not compatible
You can do it with just USB if you want
Can that PCI e be conectes to the mother boards CPU headers ?
