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!

up and bottom or the side.

Why RGB won't work?
Just use RGB lighting but set the color to white. Easy peasy

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

Your case brand & model?

fractal design define r5...

Buy this:
https://shopee.com.my/FREEZEMOD-JXDT-5CX-ch...52-d6bbb33b2402

Stick 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

ahhh...actually maybe because i keep on searching and typing LED strip, i did not know got such lighting macam tube type also...thanks! one last question, can turn off also if needed?

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

damn perfect....looking forward to your pic...
i was like contemplating also if i should just leave it and don't put lighting but sometimes with lighting can also enhance it... so happy to know can even power off as and when needed..

gonna hentam the 40cm one...as i measure the length of my casing...40cm still ok...got about 1cm gap left between at both ends

Here you go:

PS: I have 8 of that ARGB stick in my PC

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...

Yes. You can control the brightness using the remote
Just remember to pick the REMOTE option when buying it

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!

Don't buy that hub. It's crap
Get this one instead
https://shopee.com.my/Id-Cooling-Ha-02C-ArG...895.13266637354

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.

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... ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Nice

Share some pictures bro

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!

You kena racun with RGB d
Last time I hate RGB also, want my system to look professional

But after my old RAM kiok while building my new loop, I wanted to buy RAM sets that matches the gold build in my liquid cooling loop. So I bought G.Skill Trident Z Royal Gold
Turned on my system for the 1st time and fell in love with RGB immediately. Couldn't stop since, so the total number of RGB stuff in my gaming PC increased to 21

Burned 2 RGB in the meantime because too many RGB connected to just a single hub. So I separate it to 2 hubs, now no more burning hubs
