Real Men Love Sparkles

 

So I wanna know which type of LED plug thingyyyy should i get? (my bad asian vocab is kicking in..)

 

There are a few types..

 

1.SATA

2.Molex

3.Third party, i plug it in from outside.. or i use an adapter

 

Is there much of a difference? 

 

I plan to get RGB LEDS for my NOCTIS 450

 

-Magnetic preffered

-When lights are off, white?(not a big deal at all.. just a small add on)

-Plan to be able to surround the whole case.. I personally do not know how many strips am i able to daisy chain,or should i get a few different ones?

-Itll be amazing if i can control them with music mode...

-I do use rm1000i,if corsair link has anything to do with this, lemme know.

 

So which LED fits these descriptions the best?

 

Thanks <33333333

You can always find sata to molex adapter if you don't want use another one your modular cables. Molex is most common and usually cheaper and perform the same.  Personally music mode is kinda gimmicky because i don't see reason to use it ever ... is more of distraction for me personally, if you doing something productive.

Premade or pre done solutions come with all the connectors that one hooks up, that one is wired via a molex to DC barrel adapter. 

 

Both Addoncustoms and Cable Mods both make great RGB LED kits.
