Get That ARR GEE BEE!

[Zarocus1337]

Hey everyone I have a system build that I am now moving it into the case that I want. I need help with deciding RGB magnetic strips. I can't decide between BitFenix or CableMod. Any suggestions? Advice? Also I have specs and future add-ons and upgrades down bellow. Thanks!

 

Widowmaker Specs:

AMD Threadripper 1950X
Gigabyte X399 Aorus Gaming 7

G.Skill TridentZ RGB 3200Mhz 16GBx2 Dual Channel

EVGA GTX 1060 SSC 6GB
Thermaltake Toughpower 850w Fully Modular PSU

Elgato HD60 Pro

Add-Ons/Upgrades:

Move from DIYPC-480-BK to Gigabyte AC300W Case

Add more RAM (eventually get to 128GB sticking with G.Skill TridentZ RGB 3200Mhz)
Upgrade to TWO 80/80ti series cards (1080/1080ti, 1180/1180ti, 2080/2080ti)

Add in NVME m.2 2280 SSD (Samsung or WD)
Remove Elgato HD60 Pro from Widowmaker move Elgato HD60 Pro into separate machine

Remove content creation devices (mic, headset, Elgato Stream Deck, ect.) to separate machine
Upgrade side panels to Tempered glass on AC300W

Again any help would be greatly appreciated. Also included pictures of the Gigabyte AC300W case!

I've used the cablemod strips and they are fairly decent

With the CableMod strips are they able to adjust the brightness level? Are they RGB or RGBW?

I used Bitfenix LED strips in the Purple Build, and Cablemod LED strips in the Blue Build (both in my signature)

 

Overall I preferred the Cable mod strips. They seemed brighter and a bit more rugged, but bitfenix was thinner so you could bend them easier (if you needed to). Cable mod also used SATA power connectors, not Molex. That alone would have won me over personally.

 

The RGB versions of the cablemod strips come with remote controllers for the RGB if you dont have a motherboard connector. They are RGB, not RGBW.
