Description
The Lian Li STRIMER PLUS V2 represents the pinnacle of PC aesthetic customization, evolving from its predecessor with a thinner, more flexible profile. By utilizing high-quality silicone and TPE materials, these extension cables reduce the overall thickness to just 8mm, allowing for tighter bends and cleaner routing in compact cases. The integration with L-Connect 3 software enables sophisticated lighting effects across 120 LEDs in the 24-pin model, ensuring that your build remains a visual centerpiece without compromising on power stability or safety.
This product is for:
- PC Enthusiasts: Users looking to create a premium, cohesive lighting theme within their custom desktop builds.
- Professional Modders: Builders who require highly flexible cables that can navigate complex internal layouts without obstructing airflow.
- High-End Gamers: Owners of RTX 40-series GPUs who need reliable 12VHPWR power delivery combined with modern ARGB flair.
- Content Creators: Streamers and videographers who want a visually striking PC setup that stands out on camera.
- RGB Software Power Users: Individuals who prefer centralized control of their lighting ecosystem through the Lian Li L-Connect 3 suite.
Detailed specifications:
- Material: High-grade Silicone and TPE for enhanced durability and flexibility.
- Wire Gauge: 18AWG conductors for stable voltage and heat resistance.
- Dimensions (24-Pin): 247mm (L) x 56.6mm (W) x 8mm (H).
- LED Density: Up to 120 LEDs on the motherboard 24-pin variant for seamless light diffusion.
- Connectivity: 5V ARGB (3-pin) header compatibility and L-Connect 3 controller support.
- Variants: Available in 24-pin Motherboard, Dual 8-pin VGA, Triple 8-pin VGA, and 12VHPWR (16-pin) configurations.
Installing the STRIMER PLUS V2 is a streamlined experience thanks to the included L-Connect 3 controller and the improved cable flexibility. Unlike standard stiff sleeved cables, the V2's silicone layers allow for natural curves that don't put excessive strain on motherboard or GPU headers. The side-mounted light strips ensure that the illumination is visible from multiple angles, eliminating the 'dark spots' often found in cheaper ARGB strips. The software interface provides granular control, allowing users to sync individual light channels or choose from dozens of pre-set dynamic patterns.
When compared to the original STRIMER PLUS, the V2 offers a significantly reduced footprint, making it compatible with a wider range of mid-tower and ITX cases. While standard ARGB strips often suffer from visible hotspots, the V2 uses a specialized diffusion layer that creates a continuous neon-like glow. In terms of power safety, the use of 18AWG wiring puts it on par with premium PSU manufacturer cables, ensuring it can handle the high-wattage demands of modern components like the RTX 4090 better than generic 20AWG alternatives.
Q&A:
- How do I control the lighting on the STRIMER PLUS V2? The lighting can be managed through Lian Li’s L-Connect 3 software when connected to the dedicated controller, or synced with your motherboard’s 5V ARGB software using the included adapter.
- Is the 12VHPWR version compatible with the NVIDIA RTX 4090? Yes, Lian Li offers specific 12VHPWR (16-pin to 16-pin or 16-pin to 3x8-pin) variants designed specifically for high-power 40-series graphics cards.
- Can I use these cables without the L-Connect controller? Yes, the cables include a standard 3-pin 5V ARGB header adapter, allowing them to be plugged directly into most modern motherboards.
- What is the difference between the 8-line and 12-line 12VHPWR versions? The 12-line version features more ARGB light guides for a wider, more intense lighting effect, whereas the 8-line version is narrower for better compatibility in tight spaces.
- Does the STRIMER PLUS V2 replace my power supply cables? No, these are extension cables that plug into your existing PSU cables; they should not be plugged directly into the power supply unit itself.
