Hi everyone,

 

I'm finishing off my rig and i want to buy 120 cm of orange led strips (regular ones nothing fancy), And my question is will that length decrease my PC performance duo to its power consumption (varying between 12v and 5v for 60 cm is I've seen). Obviously I have no experience with LED strips. My PSU is 650W for a regular six core i7 and 980 ti, so I'm not on the edge with power.

It will only use about 10 watts.

No, it will not affect performance, and even if it does, consider a different powersupply, because then you are already on the edge of making it fail (and is most likely a bad powersupply)

CPU: I7 4790K(4.6@1.252v)                               Case: Fractal Design Define R5 Windowed(Black)           Cooler: CM 212 EVO + NF F12 iPPC

RAM: HyperX Fury 1600MHZ CL10 2x4GB      Storage: Samsung 850 EVO(250GB) + WD Red(2TB)      PSU: Corsair RM750 (and no, it hasn't blown up!)

MoBo: Asus Maximus VII Ranger                      Graphics: MSI GTX 970 TwinFrozr (1494MHZ Core)       OS: Windows 10 Enterprise

650w is more than enough for his PC. Under load it should use less than 500w.
