Review on Enhance Your PC Lighting With ALITOVE'S WS2812B Addressable RGB LED Strip Compatible With Popular Sync Technologies by Jon Higdem

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Check your aRBG power limit

Oddly, the four strips only come with one motherboard cable, while the two strip version comes with two. Normally, that would be fine, since the strips can be daisy chained. However, the power draw for each LED is listed as .2 watts. .2 x 24 per strip x 3 strips = 14.4watts. This means I could only use three strips with one motherboard cable, since my aRGB motherboard connectors are rated for 15w. Would've been 5 stars easily if I could've actually used all four strips. So now I have three installed and have basically decided, rather than ordering another motherboard cable for my second aRGB motherboard connection, that the fourth strip can be stored indefinitely until one goes bad. The strips are fantastic in every other aspect and arrived safe and sound in a timely fashion.
