Hey friend, awesome video! Really explanatory and detailed on the product! I've been looking for somthing like this one you iploaded and it was exactly what I needed. Thanks!
Do yourself a favor, and use 2 separate PCI-e power cables for your RX VEGA, versus using the 1 cable and its pigtail. It's much easier on the PSU and the cables, not to mention smoother for that VEGA when you start drawing a lot of power.
Everyone should written rgb and a-rgb properly. So they're not confusing of how much pin required to set they rig up. Rgb and a-rgb is totally different. In this video is a-rgb.
This makes a lot of sense of all the things I read up on Amazon about these EZ-DIY-FAB doohickeys and thingamajigs for the fancy lights to put on your old and busted computer component piece bits. I might need to get some of the whozywhatzits with the ARGB lighting to go with it, too. And a doodamaflotchie with some more ARGB lights, and pretty soon I'll be just like you hip young people. So, UX100 cooler, these things, the things the same people sell to go on the m.2 SSD, their matching neon strips to go around the motherboard, the case fan and it's front end lights, and I think I'm going to need more ARGB header plugs...not sure how many ARGB pretties I can chain together but I guess they sell some splitters too.

Hey I have a similar motherboard (msi z97 gaming 5) and now to the question, how do you have rgb in your cpu cooler when you don’t have any rgb headers? I love your vid and it was very helpful :)
Good question! The CPU cooler (Corsair H100i PRO) is connected to the motherboard via a USB 2.0 header, not an RGB header. You then control the RGB on the pump with the Corsair Link program. Glad to hear you like the videos. Thanks for watching!
1. What is an addressable pinheaded and 2. Can I connect this to my Lenovo legion T5 prebuilt motherboard in a way that would allow me to control the rgb through the Lenovo software??
An addressable header is for RGB. When it comes to PCs, there are 2 types of RGB. 5V and 12V. It is very important not to mix the 2, as LEDs can blow up, if you connect a 5V RGB device to a 12V header. If you connect a 12V RGB device to a 5V header then the LEDs will not be very bright. No damage will occur, you just won't get full brightness. You will need to get a SATA powered RGB controller in order to control the lighting in your pre-built PC as it does not come addressable RGB headers on its motherboard
You will have to remove the factory headspreaders/heatsinks that are already on the RAM, if it has them. This will also fit DDR2, DDR3 and DDR4 memory sticks.
No. As I mentioned earlier, there are no ARGB headers on the motherboard I'm using them with. Also, the heatsinks don't feature a USB header option either.
The black taped part on the RF remote wire is getting hot very quick. My LEDs are not turning on. Do you think I have the wiring wrong or is mine defective? (I’m using molex)
Oh dear. Seems like there is a short somewhere. My guess is its the RF receiver's wiring. I'd suggest contacting EZDIY-FAB for a replacement. Just for safety's sake, I would suggest buying a molex to sata adapter. That way you can power the RF receiver with data power and not molex, in case there is something wrong with your molex.
If I buy one with the remote and another just the ram heatsinks would I be able to sync all 4? If that makes sense. My psu also has a pwm/aura sync plug-in could that possibly be used?
@@WiltshireTutorials I noticed I skipped over that part in the video where you stated that. I appreciate the fact you still respond to people till this day :)
Hey i have gskill trident z but the chip is broken while the rgb is still working. Is it possible for me to use the heatsink and convert a non rgb ram using this gskill trident z rgb heatsink?
I bought this kit awhile back but I wasn’t able to use it because my motherboard doesn’t have an the addressable header. What cables do I need to buy then?
You've purchased the wrong bundle. The other bundle with the RGB controller. You can still achieve this by buying a 5V RGB controller from Fractal Design!
does it come with the molex connector thing i cant find it anywhere and 3 pin rgb header my mobo doesnt have it im so confused how these work please help i got them thinking they where standed 4 pin
As I said in the video, the heatsinks are 5V Addressable. Therefore, you're able to use a 5V header on your motherboard or the 5V RF remote to use the LEDs on the heatsinks. I'm using it on a Z97 motherboard, which has no RGB headers on it.
If your DDR3 RAM stick(s) already have a heatsink on them, it has to come off. All RAM sticks are the same height and length when manufactured. The heatsinks are what cause the most changes in dimensions. If you put the RGB heatsinks on it will be slightly taller due to the light bar on the top of the heatsink.
Yes. BUT, you MUST order the 12V version of the heatsinks. Not the 5V version. Reason being is that your motherboard only has a 12V 4-pin RGB header on it.
They sell the heatsinks separate, if you don't need the remote and have ARGB headers on your motherboard. You can also get the heatsinks with the remote, if you needed.
@@VoidlessOfSpace There is foam tape that you put on the blank side of the RAM stick. The thermal pad goes on the one side with the chips on it. Hope that clears things up!

The motherboard used in this video is a Z97 chipset. You just have to order the remote control bundle as these older Z97 boards don't have an ARGB header on them.
The RF remote is included in the kit with the heatsinks, if you select it on Amazon. www.amazon.com/EZDIY-FAB-Addressable-Heatsink-Controller-Compatible/dp/B07DVFM4TJ/ref=pd_bxgy_img_2/141-2683437-4423565?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07DVFM4TJ&pd_rd_r=cd45925f-711c-415e-817e-47f9db98f502&pd_rd_w=VpgZv&pd_rd_wg=jAqUO&pf_rd_p=f325d01c-4658-4593-be83-3e12ca663f0e&pf_rd_r=VW1NNFA0B0EQFE6273K0&psc=1&refRID=VW1NNFA0B0EQFE6273K0
The RAM used in the video was DDR3, which didn't have RGB back then. So, there is a use case there. Also, some people may already have a PC with no heatsinks and want to add a bit of flair to their PC without having to buy RAM with an RGB heatsink already on it.
You're using the term "Power" to describe "Voltage" They are TWO DIFFERENT THINGS in electronics. The voltage may be the same between the Molex and SATA, but their ability to deliver the same amount of POWER (i.e. wattage/amps) are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. Too many LED's on a circuit can draw MORE CURRENT than the wiring in SATA cables can handle, and you run the risk of blowing your SATA line or that leg of your power supply, rendering it useless. It's like plugging in a floor heater AND your vacuum cleaner into the same outlet and attempting to run BOTH AT THE SAME TIME. You'll most likely pop your breaker to keep your wires from melting, or catching fire due to an excessive current draw on the same circuit! That is the reason why manufacturers power these devices using the vintage MOLEX connectors because the guage of THOSE wires were designed to handle higher current draws than SATA does. It has nothing to do with Voltage or your personal preference on whether or not you HATE Molex. They kept the vintage Molex connections around on modern power supplies for a reason! Since PC power supplies don't have circuit breakers like your household AC lines do, LED manufacturers issue their products with Molex connectors to ensure you don't damage your system.
LEDs are very efficient on power draw. The chances of blowing out a rail on a PSU by using only LEDs is next to impossible... Also, Molex and SATA power are typically the same with 18 gauge wire. I'd be more concerned about the amount of amps going through the cable, than the voltage. Which, again, is very little when using LEDs. There's a reason Molex is dead and not included on most PSUs these days.

@@WiltshireTutorials Thanks! I bought 4! So i will build that for my system.
Awesome! Hope you like them! Let me know if you need any help or have any questions.
@@WiltshireTutorials will do. Thanks 😊
@@WiltshireTutorials i wondered if you have an email? I completed my set up and wanted to share a photo of the led ram on my syatem :)
IMO it is not worth getting 19usd rgb heatspreader + RAM price. get ddr4 rgb instead. upgrade the components for good.
The RAM used in the video was DDR3, which didn't have RGB back then. So, there is a use case there. Also, some people may already have a PC with no heatsinks and want to add a bit of flair to their PC without having to buy RAM with an RGB heatsink already on it.
You're using the term "Power" to describe "Voltage" They are TWO DIFFERENT THINGS in electronics. The voltage may be the same between the Molex and SATA, but their ability to deliver the same amount of POWER (i.e. wattage/amps) are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. Too many LED's on a circuit can draw MORE CURRENT than the wiring in SATA cables can handle, and you run the risk of blowing your SATA line or that leg of your power supply, rendering it useless. It's like plugging in a floor heater AND your vacuum cleaner into the same outlet and attempting to run BOTH AT THE SAME TIME. You'll most likely pop your breaker to keep your wires from melting, or catching fire due to an excessive current draw on the same circuit! That is the reason why manufacturers power these devices using the vintage MOLEX connectors because the guage of THOSE wires were designed to handle higher current draws than SATA does. It has nothing to do with Voltage or your personal preference on whether or not you HATE Molex. They kept the vintage Molex connections around on modern power supplies for a reason! Since PC power supplies don't have circuit breakers like your household AC lines do, LED manufacturers issue their products with Molex connectors to ensure you don't damage your system.
LEDs are very efficient on power draw. The chances of blowing out a rail on a PSU by using only LEDs is next to impossible... Also, Molex and SATA power are typically the same with 18 gauge wire. I'd be more concerned about the amount of amps going through the cable, than the voltage. Which, again, is very little when using LEDs. There's a reason Molex is dead and not included on most PSUs these days.
Looks like trident Z to me
That's more of the point of them, I think.
@@WiltshireTutorials true
Don't hate on our logo xD
Just not a fan of the font 🤷♂️
too many cables
Fair enough. Having a lot of RGB in a build can add a little too much cable clutter.
pij per
What?
Zipties 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
What?
@@WiltshireTutorials you called twist ties zipties lol
The Verge reference my guy ;p
