Hey

I've recently decided that i'll put some leds on my most recent build.

I currently have this H440

First of all, im mostly sure it will be a white ledstrip, as i guess it will give the nicest looks.

 

Here is a scheme of the three options i've thought so far (the colors change to see the different options, the ledstrip will be white regardless)

Some things that have been bothering me:

 

If i put a 30CM on the top, will it be really dark on the down side, because of how big the graphics card is?

On the 30 CM on the right, i have no idea how it would become as i've never seen an example like that.

As the last choice, the 2x12CM top/bottom. Will these give me basically no light since there are only 6 LEDS on each strip?

 

Im here mostly to hear opinions and whatnot. If anyone has an example like the above, feel free to post a pic :P

 

Thanks in advance

 

PS: If i put it on top, can i move the graphics card to a slot on the bottom? Is it possible to be done or has any downsides to performance? Thanks

I find the best way to get lighting to all the parts is one 30cm on the top and one 30cm on the right.

This way its not dark under your GPU and cooler

I see, but currently with what im planning to get, i'll probably get only one of those options. Thanks anyway!

I'll wait for some more opinions
