Gais... i cannot really find much from google or YouTube.
Assuming if i am installing full Noctua heatsink, noctua gfx and noctua fans inside... any lighting ideas to share that can enhance and make it look nicer? For sure rgb wont work so i am kinda looking at white or slight orange colour scheme and wondering how and where to put those lighting... thanks for any suggestions gais!

lol..ya...what i mean is rgb color won't look nice on noctua...eventually still is white.. maybe simplicity is best eventually...just put one strip on top so got some lighting so can see a bit rather than dark dark inside QUOTE(sHawTY @ Jan 25 2022, 11:32 AM) Why RGB won't work?

Buy this: https://shopee.com.my/FREEZEMOD-JXDT-5CX-ch...52-d6bbb33b2402Stick it to the top of the case (has built-in magnet strip), connect it to the SATA power and choose the lightning option of your choice And yes, you can choose white color too Make sure to choose the "Remote" option when buying it so you can control it using just the remote control since your motherboard doesn't have an ARGB header And choose 40CM so it will have the maximum coverage for your case This thing has built-in 39 LEDs which is more than enough to brighten up the internal of your case Using it myself, still works perfectly for close to 1 year now This post has been edited by sHawTY: Jan 25 2022, 12:40 PM

Yes. The remote does have a power button so you can turn off the lights whenever you want I'll take a picture of my PC with the white lights and share it here later so you can see it This post has been edited by sHawTY: Jan 25 2022, 03:06 PM

fuuuh... but are you able to adjust the brightness? that's the only concern i have now as my room is kinda totally dark actually sometimes so instead of so bright, if can tone down the brightness will be good for me...

sHawTY sir... i also see the option of cable hub...does that mean if i am going to install 2-3 strip, i can actually use the cable hub then i can control them altogether in sync? is that how you connect all your strips too? also if you refer back to your setup, on the left side where you have your rear fan, the LED seems like a very short strip only, the seller selling 25cm as the shortest, so means we can cut and trim the length ourselves once we get the led strip? thanks!

It's crap Get this one instead https://shopee.com.my/Id-Cooling-Ha-02C-ArG...895.13266637354QUOTE(kevyeoh @ Jan 26 2022, 08:23 PM) so means we can cut and trim the length ourselves once we get the led strip? Yes, you can cut it, provided you already have the correct saw because the case is made of aluminium You also have to cut the strip inside at the correct place But my advise to you is, start with 1 light bar first. You can add on additional bar later

Still trying to fully understand how this will work... So with this ID cooling hub... i can still connect the strip and then the remote control for the strip can still work separately on its own? Lets say now i also have gpu card holder with argb... with this hub... i can connect the LED strip with remote and also the gpu card holder argb connection and then both the LED strip and GPU holder will power up and I can still also manually control the LED strip colors with the LED strip own remote control (the FREEZEMOD one)? Thanks. QUOTE(sHawTY @ Jan 26 2022, 09:30 PM) Don't buy that hub.

Provided all your ARGB stuff is 5V, yes. 1 hub for everything

Just an update. I already bought this Freezemod LED bar and it is awesome. And now I actually bought a 2nd unit so i can put at the base of the casing as well. And the ID Cooling hub works well too so now I can sync all my rgb parts together... ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ QUOTE(sHawTY @ Jan 25 2022, 12:39 PM) Buy this: https://shopee.com.my/FREEZEMOD-JXDT-5CX-ch...52-d6bbb33b2402Stick it to the top of the case (has built-in magnet strip), connect it to the SATA power and choose the lightning option of your choice And yes, you can choose white color too Make sure to choose the "Remote" option when buying it so you can control it using just the remote control since your motherboard doesn't have an ARGB header And choose 40CM so it will have the maximum coverage for your case This thing has built-in 39 LEDs which is more than enough to brighten up the internal of your case Using it myself, still works perfectly for close to 1 year now

Finally got the 2nd LED bar to put at the bottom side... At first i visualize white color nice but after getting this and turn on rgb... it turns out nice also... but the best part is i also bought the ID cooling controller you recommended and with the push of a button only now i can change to white or rgb or even turn it off... love it!
