Posted August 23, 2015 http://www.roboteched.net/2011/10/arduino-based-computer-temp-sensing.html I came across that info and wondered if there where any product out there that let you do it? After all, having a custom water cooled build where you could tell the temprature just by looking at the light, would be nice. I know there are displays for that, but it wont look as good.

Posted August 23, 2015 http://www.corsair.com/en/corsair-link/corsair-link-hardware Given that I dont have a Corsair PSU, what would I need? actually the lighting have is just that. It's corsair rgb led strips, but I just pole data from my cpu's temperature. yes I have a few other bells and whistles, but that's the core of my lighting system.

Posted August 23, 2015 So I can get away with just this: http://www.corsair.com/en/corsair-link-lightning-node ? yup, but you may want to check availability. I haven't been able to find one, and I want a second discrete run for the basement of my case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 23, 2015 Author yup, but you may want to check availability. I haven't been able to find one, and I want a second discrete run for the basement of my case. It seems I'm lucky, as a store near me has it. The only question is how many of the LED strips can be chained together? I have a big case and each unit needs 1 usb header (of the internal version?).

I have 4 plugged into one daisy chain, so the answer is (shrugs) but honestly if you need more than 4 strips then you've got a case on the level of tytan. btw can I get a link to that retailer. I still want that second discrete led strip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still want that second discrete led strip Its a Norway only store, so given you the link wont help. It seems Aqua Computer has an option as well: http://shop.aquacomputer.de/product_info.php?products_id=3232 So guess I will have to check which one works best. But it seems Aqua Computer has the leg up, as you can get 100cm led strips. Project "Black Tornado": Cooling over silence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure norway has at least one remailer. I had to get my motherboard out of germany, so I'm not exactly a stranger to having to work around international exports.

Posted August 23, 2015 It seems I have found my answer Why more people arent using stuff like this is beyond me. I've seen that in a few builds now and it definitely looks like a sweet product.
