ASIAHORSE ARGB Light Strip for Motherboard, 28 Independent Addressable RGB, 5V 3-pin Motherboard Aura Sync, Lightsaber-X Led PC Parts Kit Compatible with ATX

Great argb mobo light strips. Easy to install, easy to sync. Can be daisy chained. And look great. Thumbs up!

These accent lights are the perfect addition for your RGB builds! My motherboard (Asus Prime z790 a vx) is pretty dull and has no RGBs built into it so I grabbed a set of these and they look really good with the rest of the system!Just a heads up, you will pretty much need to take the GPU out (if your vertical mounted) because you need to be able to un screw the motherboard from the case to slide these lights behind the mother board and onto the existing case screw holes. So it is best to order these before you start your build, if you haven’t already.

It was more of a pain in the butt to install than I thought. Ya really don't wanna mess around with your motherboard mounting, but this required their special standoffs which I didn't like... but at the end of the day, it came with everything it needed, and didn't fry my board, they do look cool, and work in signalrgb... so if you're rebuilding anyways, not that huge of a hassle to get these in, just be prepared with the kind of frustrating little things that make you wonder if it's worth it... and then get it done anyways and be satisfied.

The 1st one I received was defective & had some flickering LEDs in the longer strip. Had to request replacemenr & send original back. Was a bummer as I made the assumption being new that there was no need to test it. So after installing the Motherboard in my new build & then connecting the ARGB strip did I then find it had an issue. So double the work to remove the mobo to pull out the bad set, pretest the replacement & then install the replacement.If your mobo has a metal support plate you may potentially have issues using this since this could throw off how your mobo sits at the rear intergal I/O panel to your metal RF I/O panel shield. Got lucky in my case it just eeked by without misaligning anything!It does however add a nice lighting effect!

Package arrived with my fans from the same brand. The packaging, unlike most of their quality products, was made of what felt like cheap cardstock and barely survived shipping. Inside was lined with foam and felt, but again, the packaging was hanging on by mere threads. The manual gave basic instructions, but didnt bother to include the step with the standoffs, which are slightly higher than your normal motherboard standoffs to accomodate the light bars. After install (which was challenging as the screw on the standoff extractor that came with the standoffs stripped) I proceeded to boot my computer, but my pc proceeded to shut off during boot. As it turned out, the argb daisy chain cable that connect both sides were shorting pins on the back of my motherboard, causing the issue. After taping the whole back of my motherboard, the crisis was averted, but I didnt feel confortable with it installed and decided to remove it shortly before this review. The fit was good, but the rgb was spotty and had bright spots, and the bottom part of the light bar just isnt controllable by rgb software. For 20 ish dollars it felt extremely cheap, light as a feather. Overall, if youre looking for a way to improve your pc aesthetics, I suggest you steer clear of this product.

So I took a chance and bought something that didn’t have any reviews. I don’t like doing that, but this was the only LEDs I were interested in adding as I wanted something more subtle as opposed to those big light bars. I will say that in the end it looks great and integrated into my existing lighting with no issues. I would suggest testing them first to make sure they work as you have to remove the motherboard to install these, and no one wants to go through all that work just to find out that you have a dud. Luckily not the case for me.Now for the hassle part. Besides having to remove the motherboard (which I knew before I bought and so I’m not complaining), these were a very tight fit. They are supposed to slip over the risers (at least that is how their video shows it) but I don’t know if my risers are a micrometer wider than normal or if the holes in the lights were just a micrometer too small, but I really had to push hard to get these to snap in. I thought I had broken something when they finally did but thankfully not. Besides that, they are tight to the back of the case that they caused a problem with the I/O shield and as a result, my two highest USB ports in the back and every so slightly out of alignment with the shield (see photo). Very annoying. I can still use the ports but now it’s very tight. I eventually attempted to solve for this by removing the foam that is on the lights. The foam creates a padding between the light casing and the motherboard which is a nice touch, but it’s way too thick. Without removing it, I couldn’t even get any of the ports to align and my motherboard would’ve been bending at the edges. For what it’s worth, I have a Gigabyte B550 series board, so maybe the lights just don’t fit these boards perfectly. There’s also nothing in the description to indicate that my board (or any others) aren’t compatible. After removing the foam it’s a better fit and my ports are all usable, but I shouldn’t have had to do what I did to make it work.Other than that, the only other thing to point out is that my corners didn’t align perfectly as there was a super small gap (see photo). However after installation I can say it’s completely unnoticeable, especially powered on and lit up. All in all I’m happy in the end, just be aware you may have to do some tinkering to get these to fit just right.

The Asiahorse light strip is very easy to install and uses no adhesives - it simply goes right down over the existing MB standoffs in your case (spacers are included in the event yours are too short to screw the MB back down). The quality of color is vibrant and smooth (you can't tell where the LED's physically are on it), making it very easy to color match to your other RGB accessories. I'm definitely going to be buying more Asiahorse gear!

The media could not be loaded. All LEDs working and look break. Wish it was a little more dense, as animated light effects look jumpy... But is what it is. It does add 1mm in height to the motherboard. But still fits in the rear io panel.
