I want brighter UV lighting solution.

These are Phobya High Density ones for $15 USD each... Ridiculously expensive for its performance.

I don't care if it requires a separate controller.

I don't care its form factor.

Cathode? Sure as long as it's bright and quiet.

BTW, my MOBO doesn't have RGB header. These strips are connected through fan headers.

 

Any recommendation?

Hi, I use one of these:

Its brighter than every LED or cathode I used before. I took the needed 5 V and ground from the PSU.

I had those useless things.

Ended up getting a cablemod widebeam kit. Connects by sata.

But if you thought $15 was ridiculously expensive. But it is a much better strip.

Remove those white LED strips you have on the side panel, UV LED effects only work best when the case is as dark as possible with UV reactive components. For good UV LED lights some of the best regarded ones are the UV lights from Darkside.
