Good, install, led, strips


Plan carefully where to place them

Ideally, from the beginning you have it a limited sense of where and how You will wear LED strings. In this way, you will not spend money at all Buying something that is either insignificant or unsatisfactory. If you can, make a drawing of your box and the place where you will place the strings, so once it is installed you can easily adjust the results you will place.

Note the size

The first thing to look for before purchasing LED strips is the PC size, both for your box and this. If you are buying very long LED strings you will need to cut them and this may mean that you cannot connect to one another (depending on the model), or if you buy it too short, it may not look great. Ideally, measure the size of the inside of the box and get some strings the length of the chord, and for this reason it is best to follow the previous step in this book: plan how they will be installed in any way.

Opaque areas are your co-op for LED strips

Usually, if you're going to put LED strips in the shape of your PC it's because you want the light to be visible from the outside, and this means that the box will have at least one windows (either plastic or regular regular glass). As a general rule, these windows usually have opaque edges on the edges that will help us hide the strings at first glance, because the best secret to making them look good is that they don't see straight.

The same goes for the metal edge of the box itself, which can be used to hide the straps with a naked eye, but when they are at the same time they will work to make the light brighter and, in some cases, even focus on it.

Note the cable flow

The final step, which goes into planning and design, is to be careful where we move the strings. After all, we have to connect the strings or the controller as such Corsair Lighting Node Pro or on the RGB heads of the motherboard for them to work on and prepare. If during the selection process you can find strings that can be connected to each other in daisy-chain mode, you will save space and heads when moving the strings.

These are the tips we can give you, and from there to your judgment and ability to make the best of the extra RGB light that this product offers, because unlike integrated light for fans or other Hardware devices, LED strips not only give us a lot of freedom to install, but also too many global and transient light to keep the whole universe from moving.
