feeling the RGB tug..

WARburton · 11 Oct 2024 at 17:37

My case fans are not RGB and tbf are all budget fans.
im wanting to move to a more silent fan now i have a low heat system with over kill cooling. but im also wanting some RGB in my life.

ideally looking for
4x140 OR 1x140 and 3x120

i wont change the cooler fans as it runs silent and they cant be seen
case is a Phanteks XT Pro

Phanteks XT Pro ATX Case Tempered Glass Window, Black

The Phanteks XT Series delivers outstanding support for a wide variety of hardware, such as the innovative hidden connector motherboards from MSI and ASUS.

What are the fans to go with, i like the all in one type fan like the D30's but with a better controller i feel the lighting affects could be so much better on the fans.
again BUT the Lian Li approach is very confusing as to what works with what controller.
This sort of stuff confuses the hell out of me, that's why i always just gave it a wide birth

1 x B Grade Lian Li UNI SL120 V2 Addressable RGB Black 120mm Fan Triple Pack with Controller (SKU: BG-0AB-LL) = £49.99

Total: £64.98 (includes delivery: £0.00)

The Uni fans are superb. So easy to use and easy to route and hide the cables.

I'm just hoping the software is a good as it looks.

the d30 fans looked so good but the lack of a controller means id have to use the Gigabyte one on my motherboard and it crap

get some LEDs for the back of the monitor that sync to the screen and extend the colours onto a backwall.

i have this on my TV but i think on my monitor with it been a lot smaller it would be a distraction.

as im posting here, my i have the SL120's and the SL v2 controller, what is the best LED strip to use.
the controller as 2 x 5v aRGB headers

WARburton · 22 Oct 2024 at 15:49

im wanting the strip for under my desk. my setting it set to meteor. and i seen a video where it was also running over the guys desk looked good (i think)

its the mode shown in the first 8 seconds, its definitely not over the top RGB

but i do get what your guys are saying you see some case's that look like a pink floyd concert

As someone who owns a white PC, I would say it actually hides the dust better!

it like a black car when you wash them they look clean for 20 mins, and white one looks clean for days
