Hello people of Linus Tech forum. I recently built a nice custom build computer. The case I have is the Corsair Graphite 760T full tower white case. The front panel has two white LED fans that look really good. But I would like to put some maybe blue and white LED strips inside the case because I have a nice viewing window and would like to see the parts inside at night. My question is, who and where do I go to buy said LED strips and can they plug into a 4 pin molex connectors. If anyone could point to websites and links to where I can buy these please do.

 

Thank you!

Is Bitfenix the only company that makes Case LEDs?

no. but the only one worth mentioning.   NZXT HUE is also an option. RGB LEDs and a few Basic Mode light effects.  I've had my HUE running for a few months straight now without any burned out lights.

Bitfenix looks like it's the least expensive though. What's the quality of their LED vs any other?

Thats not true at all, there are lots of good brands that make good LED's. Bitfenx is just more popular.

Also alone with LED lighting, I've seen memory that has LEDs on them, which models of memory have LEDs on them?

FrozenCPU has a bunch as well. I have one of the UV Flexlights from them, which seems to be doing the job. And I've just used 3m Mounting strips which hides basically all but the very edge of the LEDs

Ok so I have a bunch of options now which is good. I think I'll go with the Icemodz LED strips because they look like they will do the job I'm thinking of doing.

Yeah I'd be careful about using NZXT Hue. I got a case with it pre installed and they say it's full RGB, but it's more like 60 different colours though. Great for solid Red, green, or blue, the other colours are kinda meh though. You won't be able to get a solid white if that's what you're after though.

Is IceModz a good brand of LED lighting to get? Or is bitfenix still the way to go?
