Hi all,

I need your help as I am looking for the blue led that I want to get the same led lighting colour as my CPU fan so I will be able to solider it for my 8mm fan. I bought a CPU fan called Deepcool gammaxx 400 that come with blue led. I want to know where I can find the blue led lighting the same colour as my CPU fan somewhere on the internet?

Recently I bought blue led strips on ebay but it is not the same colour as my CPU fan. The led I got is like dark blue with purple colour mixed so it is not the right color I have got.

If you can help me to find me the same colour as my CPU fan that would be great.

Thanks in advance!
 
Unless you're very lucky, your best bet might be to buy some RGB components where you can set the colour. It sounds like a less common colour that you want, and you might be disappointed if you buy more and they end up the wrong shade.

+1 some cheapo RGB strips will do the job well as you can adjust the colour to match your cooler
 
If the led strip you bought had a wavelength specified you could try a different wavelength more into the blue part of the spectrum rather than purple.

Cheap LED strips only cost a few quid so a little experimentation may find a colour near enough.

You could also swap out the LEDs on the fan for some of a known value. That's fairly easy with a soldering iron and a few bits and bobs.
 
Thanks for your replied guys as I find it very helpful.

I have found a deepcool 120mm blue led fan that it got the same colour as what I have got on my cpu fan, so I have decided that I am better off to get a bigger fan as I don't have to solider it, it's more quiet and it will make my computer case more cooler than 80mm fan but there is a problem.

My computer case have only got 80mm slots. I want to install the 120mm fan on the front and the back, I could install the 120mm fan on the front and the back but I will have to use two screws to hold on the fans but I cant put the two other screws as my case slots only support 80mm fans.

Do you know what I need to do?

Just realised that I need RGB strips that will do the job, but I want to know how I can adjust the colour to match with my cooler?

What do I need to buy to allow me to adjust the colour?
 
Adjust the colour of a RGB led strip? They usually come with a controller or are plugged into your motherboard's controller. It rather depends which type you get.

Oh right. If I get a controller with RGB led strip to match the colour with my cooler, is it possible if I can find out the wavelength on the controller?
 
What do you need the wavelength for? Likely you can work out a rough wavelength based on the RGB values if you really need. Is it to match the wavelength of other LEDs?

I think you're overthinking this.
