this is a great explanation and great way of showing how to actually set it up, thank u
Very informative! Thank you for it being short and straightforward, also for the chapter separation 🙌🏼🙌🏼
I’m glad I could help 🙌 Thanks for watching 🙏
Thank you for the usb extender link thats exactly what i needed
Glad I could help 🙌 Thanks for watching 🙏
This video has been very useful, thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for demonstrating the part where you flip the 8 pin cables. It was something I've been looking for all over.
Glad I could help 🙌
@@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?
@@BuildsWithV if ive only bought the 8 pin (no controller included), where do i plug the small black cable into to control it?
@@VeeTalksStuff you’ll have to plug it into your ARGB 5v header in your motherboard
@@BuildsWithV and I can still use L-connect 3 without the controller?
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 !!!
Glad I could help. Thanks so much for letting me know and for watching 🙏
Thank you so much 🎉I got both my lights working it was on the switch thing wrong direction pointed to and in wrong one
Thank you for this this is such a big help😊
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?
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.
Nice guide! Thank you for sharing it :)
Thank you 🙏
Good stuff, thank you!
Seems like a nice simple install. Thanks for sharing…
Yeah pretty easy for sure! Love it. Thank you 🙏
@@BuildsWithV Is it necessary to connect something to the mobo or not?
@@ericlys80 if u want to use the software u need to plug it into the mobo
Thanks so much for the video, I’m wondering if the 24pin Strimer should light up on the first boot before installing windows😂
Did you need a usb header extension running the fan controller and the drummer controller ? And the aio?
Can you also use the 2x8-Pin for the CPU Powersupply in the top left corner of the mainboard?
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?
Perfectly explained. Greetings from México, keep it up!
Thanks so much 🙏
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.
I recently bought the v2 - question I have the 2x8 cable the controller the button where it is left or right side greetings and thanks
Does the l connect 3 work with lian li strimer plus cables? Like the older version?
Thank you❤
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?
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.
Question do I need to plug in the USB Cable ? Bcuz I don't have an USB Header isn't but possible to just power with the SATA ?
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...
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
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!!
Corsair's iCUE lets me pulse fans/lighting strips with the music I'm listening to. Does L Connect 3?
Can the Lan Li Strimmer cables work with any PSU? As an example I have a 1000w Thermaltake tough power with PCIe5
Do you know if they are compatible with am5 motherboards?
i assume strimer control hub and sl infinity fan control hubs are different?
Ooof oof oof, shivers down my spine.. I would never suggest anyone to wiggle the connectors like that.. :D
Good to see that nothing got damaged.. hehe
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 😅
Im Planing a 4080 Build is it ok to do it like this (4080-12VHPWR strimer-12VHPWR to 3x 8 pin-3x cables-PSU)?
Your cable management makes me sad
You havent seen mine
Have tried to cable manage in that case? It’s the definition of hell!
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
Whats the point of cable management if the cables are hidden in the back?
@@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.
Did I see the razer rgb controller in there? Do they play together?
Can we get a review with using any of the other cables?
As an owner of the V1 cables I don't really need these but the temptation to upgrade is real...
If you haven't found this out already, you can buy the v2 controller separately and it will work with the V1 cables the exact same :)
Do you hav to buy the l connect separately?
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) ?
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 ?
Thank you 🙏 Just plug 2 and 2
Can I connect the two the 24 ping and the 8 ping in there and how ?
Thanks
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.
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.
@@BuildsWithV well that sucks. Youd figure theyd have left an option open to do that. Oh well haha.
Thanks for the info and quick reply!
Can the usb head splitter detect fan speeds?
I just did a video on my setup I'm not done yet some more stuff I need for the PC.
You have to make sure the L-Connect controller hooked up to a USB header and one cable for sata power. Then install the L-Connect 3 software.
What about the 5 volt? Do u need it?
Do I have to flip the gpu one for my 4090?
could u use Only 1 of the two 8 pin cables?
I might need an adapter for the new RTX4080 then, thanks for sharing
Where do you plug in the 3 pin without the controller??
Does the lian li gpu cables come with the hub
Hey mate, one question. I just bought 1 24 PIN + 3X8. May I use just 2x8 instead 3? I saw you splitting it.
Yes you can, works the same
@@BuildsWithV but I can split it, right ? I mean, use just 2x8
@@LibertyTGP you can split the end that goes to your GPU but can’t split it on the other end where the connector is unfortunately.
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!
Yea it’s compatible I have similar specs it connects with any gpu and cpu psu 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 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 have gtx 3060 oc gaming. Just dont know if its 2x8 or 3x8. Cant find this info
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?
When will it appear on micro center
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)
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.
Unless you had the radiator on the front side and the fans on the back, then it could work.
Nice
Lian li now also make a pcie 5.0 16-16 12vhpwr pin cable and a 3x8 to 16 pin 12vhpwr for 40 series cards
i cant see strimer plus lighting on my l3 connect app ? how can i change now my strimer plus v2 lights ?
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...
how about the issues with firmware update for strimer plus (24pin) v2. The firmware update is a mess
my gpu only got like one connect cable, is that a one-by 8?
Is it possible to use it 8+6 pin? 3060ti vision doesn’t have 8+8 :(
Yeah you can
I noticed you didn't mention the argb cable, does it need to be installed as well or can you bypass that cable if using the USB cable?
Yeah the ARGB cable is optional. Only if you’d want to control your Strimer cables using your motherboard software.
@@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.
valid to use a 3090 ti with this ???
To see that Strimer Plus Lighting in the software,do i need to buy L-connect 3 ?? I directly join to 5V ARGB on mobo.
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
how can i sync all the rgb in my computer with the strimer v2s? do i need to use the argb connector with the controller or how does that work?
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
anyone know why it wont show up on my l connect 3 i have the strimers set up and lighting up without a problem just cant find them in the program
Same !!!! Welp us
idk, when I'm using L-connect 3 the app itself just freezes after 4 seconds from opening it. I tried reinstalling, updating bios..
Hey there, buddy! Do you still have to connect the ARGB cable? Just bought this today. Thx!
I have the same question! What did you do ?
@@penafDid you have to connect the ARGB cable?
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
@@BuildsWithV oh well, I was afraid so. Thanks for the quick reply.
hello , you were lucky not to take a x570 msi motherboard , it seems that it doesn't work with it
None of my cables will light up anymore 😅 idk what I’m doing wrong, my 24pin worked until I decided to use the triple 8 pin
Which gpu is this?
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
What if you have a 3 pin RGB cable and your asus MOBO only has 4 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.
Hey, I just installed L connect three, but it only shows system info and settings. Can anyone help?
VGA model?
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?
Yeah I’ve tucked one away without issue. You can do that or make it seem like both are plugged into your GPU.
@@BuildsWithV Cool, thanks for letting me know! Great video also, keep up the good work!
@@chrisvancom no problem at all, glad I could help. Thank you 🙏
Hey I have already a controller (lian li )my sl inf are connect on this controller can I use only 1 controller for all my lian li stuff ?
Unfortunately you can’t. You have to use both controllers. There is a way to get an adapter to make them work but it wouldn’t be native
@@BuildsWithV because the problem is that my usb connectors are already in use and I don't have another argb connector
@@AaaAaaa-zc9zn you can use the nzxt usb splitter. That’s what I use
So basically they like extenders that also need to be connected to the Lian Li Controller right?
Correct
@@BuildsWithV Well thanks! I kinda get a bit confused after seeing so many cables and names and stuff 😂
I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. I can't control it through L-Connect but the lights do work
Same problem need help
Maybe usb isn't plugged in properly
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.
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.
you can also install the cables on a 750 watt power supply
are there any downsides or do you lose any features when using that usb splitter/extender?
No downsides, works as it should without issues.
@@BuildsWithV thanks for the reply just bought the splitter
@@butterflyscreams1965 no problem at all. I love it since I have like 5 devices to plug into usb lol
@@BuildsWithV do I need to buy a splitter as well since I don’t have a available USB spot on my MOBO?
That apps lian li support Lian Li Strimer Plus?
Only the v2 unfortunately
Will strimer plus v2 controller compatible with the strimer plus v1 cable?
Yeah they are compatible. I tested it and it works the same
Do I need the controller, or can I just use the ARGB on my motherboard?
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.
i plugged everything up correctly put my strimmers wont show up on l connect 3
I have the same problem
Can i use the 3*8 if my gpu is 2*8?? I mean, leave one conector unpluged?
Yes you can
Note: all rgbs will still work on all 3 cables
Thank for the answer, man! Gretings
Hello bro
First of all, thanks for your amazing videos
I have one question I have a MotherBoard Asus Rog Strix x570-E Gaming WIFI II and it has only 2 USB 2.0 ports
I already have one of those connected to the CPU Light (Lian li XL Razer edition)
The second is a Ryujin II 360 liquid cooler, is the splitter you listed safe to add the 24 PINs and 8x3 Pins Strimer Plus V2? I really want to use that software instead using aRGB motherboard software and I dont want to burn anything
Please let me know your comments
Thanks again :)
Yeah it’s safe to my knowledge. I have the 4 splitter version and have 3 other things plugged in with no issues.
@@BuildsWithV Thanks for your fast response bro, I was checking the Motherboard manual and each port supports up to 2 without the splitter, i found below video
th-cam.com/video/eAMpxdVftwM/w-d-xo.html
have you performed something like that?
I will try that, if not succeed i will get the splitter
Thanks gain
@@juancarlosrochazepeda784 I have not tried that but I did hear it works just fine. I prefer the splitter for myself because in case I need to remove devices it’s easier. Plus the splitter is in the back which gives me easy access instead of removing the gpu
@@BuildsWithV I will try to merge the usb 2.0, if it doesnt work, I will get the splitter, thanks again bro greetings from México
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?
some say dont connect both hubs on the same SATA line from the PSU.
@@winterume ill give it a shot! Nothing to lose bc at this point i'd ready to throw it in the trash lol
@@JDubz303 i hope it works for you, man. cheers!
@@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 🤦🏼♂️
@@JDubz303 update?
I don't have the controller? Do you get it with the 8 pin?
It comes with the 24-pin
I believe you can also buy it separately
