Hi Everyone.

At Christmas you lovely people helped me spec a gaming PC for my son. Which was a complete success.

His birthday is coming up, and he would like to add in LEDs.

Just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction for what I should buy that will work with the PC.

Case is Phanteks Eclipse P300 Glass Midi Tower Case - Black
MoBo is Gigabyte GA-AB350M-Gaming 3 AMD B350 (Socket AM4) DDR4 Micro ATX Motherboard
PSU is EVGA 450BT 450W 80 Plus Bronze Power Supply

Any thoughts?
 
I had the Gaming 3 MATX board. didn't come with RGB header so found a solution on here ... Cooler master RGB box with Phanteks Halo RGB Fan covers as i hate lighting strips!

was before cable management ! RGB box connects to the USB 2.0 internal header and controlled via software . Phanteks Halo's were daisy chained tpgether and used their Own Mobo connector cable to connect to the Cooler master box

Thanks guys. Must admit the photos look nice, but sounds a bit more complicated. The starter kit looks good, and I presume it will be compatible with the case & Mobo?
 
yes the cooler master 3 pack will have all the cables.

fit the fans, connect them into the box. connect box to the mobo USB 2.0 internal port .

phanteks halo's are great if you have fans already or want to use a non rgb fan.

but i think your case only had one rear fan and space for 3 at the front.

place one rgb fan on the rear and 2 at the front, top and middle. then move the stock fan to the bottom front, hidden from site :D

Cool, thanks Orbital that sounds simple enough plus he gets the extra cooling from more fans. So Ill go ahead and just order this; https://www.overclockers.co.uk/cool...o-120mm-ab-rgb-fan-starter-kit-fg-02f-cm.html

if you do intend to overclock the CPU in the future and push it hard. worth a shout

4 months and already adding/customising - slippery slope ;)​
 
re the photos; Will do :)

CPU cooler does look nice, but one thing at a time ;) as yes it could start getting expensive if he carries on. But then again as hobbies go learning about computers and IT in general is a great one! ;)

haha

looking at the P300. If you want it lit nicely... install one at the fear and top sorry- will light up the motherboard nicely and then at the bottom front.
Move the stock rear to top of the front ( rechecked, case can only have two fans at the front which is fine) . Should illuminate the case nicely and have good airflow!
might want to add a 4 pin Y split to control the rear and two fan off one header , or even all three cooler master fans. then CPU cooler will have its header and then the stock fan on the last one (believe the board had 3 headers )
