Best RGB Strip

[Napalm360]

Hey,

first of all Sorry if i'm posting in the wrong board, Could'nt see a more fitting one.

 

So the RGB bug bit me, well kinda you see my case is a bit dark and i'm looking at an RGBW strip so i can light it up and maybe change colour every now and then. Nothing Too overwhelming, Subtle.

problem is that I do not know what to go with and whats best for my money.

Any Advice Would be much appreciated, TY

 

Picture for reference I guess

how much do you want to spend

BEST ones you can get, I'd probably say the NZXT hue+.

Hue+ or any third party led strips on amazon will be fine.

I use the deepcool rgb kit from newegg, works fine as well.

prob just buy this

 

Or you can go on https://www.adafruit.com and they have Huge selection on RGB strips, tho you will have to buy your own micro controllers and ect.

ideally pc though i may go the route of having dials on a psu shroud along with diagnostic screen

Probably gonna do What aytex suggested and use an rpi or an arduino?, Though open to other solutions

[tekgeek1205]

if you want dials rpi/arduino is your best bet.

 

you could use a farbwerk ( farbwerk USB, aquabus version) and some 10kohm Tuning pots as dials, connected to the temp sensor inputs.

I could walk you through setting up the farbwerk. Ive got one.

 

 

no programming needed

@Napalm360 check out our CableMod RGB/W Hybrids, so bright you'll consider purchasing sunglasses! We do of course offer dimming through our kit though jokes aside.
