Sacco Belmonte Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 https://www.amazon.de/PHANTEKS-Digital-RGB-Combo-inkl-LED-Strip/dp/B07C1ZFRWW/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1538482207&sr=8-4-fkmr0&keywords=phanteks+addresable+RGB+strips I would totally go Corsair but: 1) I need only 2 strips and their kit includes 4. 2) Phantek strips have a nice sleeve. Corsair Strips look naked. Thanks in advance for your advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zotty Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Corsair Strips look naked. H buddy.. not the case..... they have a Gel Coating that allows the light to shine through just nicely. but to answer your question... nope.. those LED strips won't work without modification.. wrong wiring setup.. wrong LED count for a start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacco Belmonte Posted October 2, 2018 Author Share Posted October 2, 2018 Ok, thank you. Are you talking about this kit? It looks real naked. https://www.amazon.de/dp/B073VKPM4D/?coliid=I7M2EMO756Y7L&colid=LIJM6Q8DJ2GO&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solarity Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 They both have coatings and embedded magnets. They both will use WS2812 style LEDs. Neither of the kits you mentioned have braided/sleeved cables. The Phanteks kit looks like it has a bulkier coating on it. The phanteks have a 30 LEDs in a denser arrangement than the Corsair strips. So you would have to set it as 3xLED strips or 6xLED strips in iCUE. That being said, I wouldn't go this route, if I were you. I would stick to Corsair strips. Corsair uses a 2.54mm pitch latched connectors. It would take some rewiring, crimping tool, and difficult to source connectors, on your part. Though that isn't the worst part. I am into electronics and I do like to mod Corsair products. If you screw up and reverse the polarity, you will blow the 5v pin fuse for the respective channel on the LNP. I can confirm this as I have done it 3 times. :) Unless you have the right equipment replacing the SMD fuses will be difficult. Corsair prevents normal users from reversing the polarity by using keyed latched connectors, these have only one way that will fit. So yes I can do it, though the question do you really want to?
