RGB Strips

[PCMasterRaceFTWWW]

Does anyone know of an RGB Strip that can be synced with RGB Fusion (because im looking for one to put into my build so it looks fancy bc im groovy)

But i dont really know of any that sync with my board and GPU, both of which are Gigabyte. so if anyone knows of any, can you write a link here.

(I didn't know if this was the right place to put this)

I depends on your motheboard as long as it has an ARGB or RGB header there are lots of premade plug and play options. 

 

Here are some examples:

@W-L its an Aorus b450, im not sure on the header myself, im just a 14 year old with a dad who helped haha

B450 Aorus what? There are multiple different Aorus boards. Is it the Elite? The Aorus M? The Pro Wifi?

Oh sorry, its the elite.

Here is one example of an option, there is tons of cheap options out there:

Just plug into your motherboards RGB header and done.

The Elite has both 3-pin and 5-pin RGB headers so as long as the strips have either of those connectors they should work.

That board has both ARGB and RGB headers so you can use either type. ARGB allows for individual control of each LED and animations suhc as a chasing rainbow effect.

1. 1 x RGB (RGBW) LED strip header
2. 2 x digital LED strip headers

does this then mean i can use any RGB strip?

Yes those will work but note due to your board being an RGBW header (5 pins) it may interfere with the casing on the connector. 

 

These will be plug and play without issue.

I wouldn't get a 4-pin your motherboard has a 3-pin and a 5-pin, 4-pin more than likely will not fit the 5-pin header.

[PCMasterRaceFTWWW]

@SpookyCitrusit should fit, it would just be a little loose because of the extra spacing, or am I wrong here? ive read that you can.

The strips I linked previously will use your 3-pin ARGB connector, you only have a 3-pin ARGB and a 5-pin RGB connector, I personally would only get a strip or RGB component that worked with either of those specifically, so either a 3-pin RGB strip like the one I linked or an RGB hub-type kit that uses the 5-pin. You can definitely try it with the 4-pin. However, I don't know if it will work with the 3-pin ARGB connector and it more than likely will not fit the 5-pin. It's always best to get exactly the component you need and know will work than take a chance on something that more than likely will not.

Haha I understand but im on the tightest budget right now haha, spent all my money on the build, literally have £10 left. Yikes.

If your budget for it is that low just save a little more until you have enough to get a quality strip, it's a purely aesthetic component and in my opinion not absolutely necessary if you have to wait a bit, just wait. You don't want to get something that's A.) the wrong part and have to return it. or B.) Cheap garbage that fries your system. Honestly I wouldn't spend the last bit of my money on RGB. It's not going to help your performance.

Okay, will do. Thanks for the help. Ill take a look for a good 3 or 5 pin one around 15 GBP.
