So I have an RGB question...

Jelee229

Hey, guys. I’m looking for a cheap RGB strip(s) that’s compatible with Aura Sync. I have nothing like a lighting hub or anything, and I’m looking to maybe do an under glow for my desk, for the inside of my PC, and a backlight for my monitor. Thanks!

Does your motherboard have RGB headers? Wouldn't general 5050 RGB strips work? I have a bit more expensive akasa ones with magnets so it easily sticks to my PC's metal case but any chinese 5050 strips will most likely work.

 

You could get a bunch of RGB strips and two Y-splitters and a bit of extension cables to route the RGB from your motherboard to the case strips and then outside the case and from there to the monitor and the desk using the second y-splitter. Maybe not the cleanest out there but it'd be in sync.

 

 

Buying strips seperately and not in bulk is a bit expensive but would be easiest for the kind of setup that I talked about.
