RGB Light strip

[IamCathal]

So, I recently purchased this strip of RGB Lights. Here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tingkam%C2%AE-Waterproof-5050RGB-Lighting-lighting/dp/B00H7T7XA2/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1422811345&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=TingkamRGB+Light+strip

 

I would like to have them in my rig. My motherboard is the Asus Maximus VII Ranger. To my knowledge the only way to get them on is to use the wall adapter with the white box thing then to the strip. The connectors on the strip are female and they look like 'mini molex?' Is there a way to plug these into my rig and still have RGB capabilities?

Nope. The white box is the RGB Controller. I've seen people mount the box in a 3.5" bay and instead of plugging it into their wall connect it to the PSU via some soldering and molex

Chop the cable open and wire it up to the psu.

 

Make sure you do it properly and do research.

The NZXT HUE uses the same kind of RGB LEDs with the same kind of connector (allthough i think it is a male connector on the LED). So if you can pick up a 2nd hand NZXT HUE you could use that to controll the LEDs.

 

Or of course do somer soldering witchcraft which is cheaper.

You need an adapter like this to connect to your PSU or re-wire it yourself using an old 2.1mm jack. As for the LED to the controller (white box) you connect those 4 pins on the LED's to the controller.

Mine is taking so long to get here I almost want to just buy it on Amazon!

It is actually pretty easy to rewire. I'm an idiot and I have rewired fans to external power supply cords several different times. However, if you don't have the tools to do it or a book to get basics from, probably not the best idea.

 

I would, if I were you, just get the adapter and be done with it.

As @Albatross said it's fairly easy to wire it yourself as long as you have a 2.1mm jack and a molex you can basically just cut off the other end of the molex and rewire it yourself by soldering or twist together and insulating.

No I'm just saying it is taking so long to ship from moddiy.com
