Hey guys! I want to add LED lights to my case. I have been looking at these ones: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0046I79DS/?tag=blogtechtips.com-20

But if I put it in my case, where do I plug it in? On the link that I have provided, there is this big thing. Where do I put that?

 

And also, do you know if it has a 4 pin connector? All my 4 pin connectors are already taken up (3 for case fans and 1 for CPU fan). :(

Thanks in advance!

It looks amazing and cheap! o_o

 

And also, I see undernearth your comment it shows your PC specs. I also have a i5 6600k but I overclock to 4.2GHz. How do you do a 4.7? If i do it, my system will crash.

I use intel extreme turning utility.

also to answer your second question the "big thing" is a brightness controller that mounts in an expansion slot. (if that's what you where referring to by big thing)

I was worried about the cheap price but it comes with two tubes that are bright enough and easy to hide.
Comes with garbage adhesive and an ugly light blue converter. I painted mine.

I just tuned mine in the BIOS, turbo boost turned off, a multiplier of 47, and a voltage somewhere in the range of 1.35-1.4. I ran an Adia stress test for two hours, fans turned on to max, and experienced no issues. I knew to test this because I tried a 48 and it crashed. The 47 still hasn't crashed as of yet.
