A lot of people teased me about this and it's frustrates me,makes my OCD unhappy.

I completely forgot that I got Asus aRGB extension cable with my MoBo.

So can I use that cable from Asus, with this kit, which I installed into the case?

It's Phanteks Digital-RGB starter kit.

As you can clearly see on pic,their extension cable is simply too short,around 2 inches and the aRGB strip hangs because of that.

Please do not take offence for my apparent confusion or rudeness,it's not intent me to be like that,it's just my BPD,be nice to me,and I'll return twice better,be rude and usually I get easly pissed of...I'll try to help anyone here,as long as it's something I dealt with,and even if you think I'm rude or not polite,forgive me,  it's not me it's my BPD.

Thanks for understanding.

You do you, an extension should be fine as by definition it doesn't change the pinout, as long as the pin number and spacing matches. Though as many have said in the past, the general placement of your strips are really poor, so fixing this one blemish is like polishing a turd.

U sure the pinout is the same?

Do nor worry about my RGB placement.

Where would you put them,underneath the chasis? 😄

We already discussed that in previous thread,and this is the best solution to place them.

Maybe I should flip them other side but then again no purpose of diming the argb lights.

I wonder where is now a guy who teased me about this strip hanging.

Per definition Extensions have the same pin out in both ends  or it would be an adapter 

 

phanteks and Lian li uses JST connectors and the others uses the standard 4pin RGB header (with 1 pin missing if its ARGB)

but the pin outs is the same so you could  clip off the JST, strip the wire and connect a normal RGB header add some electrical tape ✌️

Okay.

I'll, in any case when removing phanteks extender take a photo of it but probably is the same,just there is one wire which is gray.

Dunno why.

Would you help me reorder the led strips?

Don't have the same pinouts,this is some sort of special Phanteks cable that connects only to it's controller.

Sadly it's only like 2 inches long.

smh.....check the strips to see what order the 5V, ground, and data pins are, and see if they match up with the 4-1 pin asus aura configuration. An engineer should have no problem figuring it out, good luck!
