I guess I just have the one on the node, got lucky I guess and didn't have to have any plugged in to it or vice versa. So it's just the one strip attached to the node.
I tried switching the strips to different nodes, and it's definitely the strip... I haven't tested if it does it regardless if it's with another strip attached or not because I didn't want to take my whole RGB strip system out, it's a pain in the *** to build a nice looking PC... Basically I'm lazy and didn't want to have to take it apart and put it back together if I didn't need to.
I'm a bit bummed because even though I saved the receipt for the strips, and I saved a lot of boxes for warranty, if this is a strip issue I dunno if I have this particular box to send it in for warranty. :(
EDIT: I moved the strips around and regardless of order, or placement, in sequence or not, the strip flickers at that point. Opening up a ticket with Corsair as I believe to have a damaged strip even though it's been a year since I have had it... :(
