Review on Phanteks Digital RGB Strip Combo PH NELEDKT_CMBO by Instructor Niederhaus

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very cool product, great deal, nice color and. few tricks. Continue reading!

I saw them online and I knew I had to try them. I read all the reviews and came to the conclusion that getting them to stick would not be a problem per se and I have a lot of sticky and magnetic stuff lying around. Be careful. Out of the box they are a little tricky as they are very tall (0.5in high) and very flexible on that axis making them perfect for walking. The difficulty is that they kind of want to mind their own business and definitely don't tend to be direct or stick to the glues that come with it. Also, the black part is rubber, so it's a COMPLETE lint and dust magnet. but I solved both of those problems very easily ;) I had some clear black bound report covers (that you used for your book reports in 6th grade to get a professional Calvin and Hobbs A+ look) that I ordered for another problem related to RGB computers and I thought why not see if they would wrap around a Phanteks neon strip and to my surprise they fit perfectly on the neon strip and are very easy to cut (see second and third Photo). so the ruler is straight, not a rubberized dust magnet! They work great with Corsair iCue software if you make/order an addressable RGB-JST-SM-RGB adapter (I bought mine off eBay. Just search "Corsair RGB to JST-SM"). Addressable RGB adapter from Pirate Dog Tech. Excellent and respected seller. I bought two separately and the delivery was very fast) and also on the Corsair iCue the colors match my Corsair branded products exactly, although those Phanteks neon strips are very bright. can shut them down in iCue. Just keep in mind that you can only have 60 LEDs for a Corsair Node Pro or Commander Pro channel, so risk anything beyond that and you risk burning out in a Node Pro or Commander Pro unit. In the example above, I assigned three RGB strips to a channel running the Phanteks neon strip. Next to. The book cover mounting bars made it very easy for me to glue very small round magnets to the bottom and this pup stayed in place. I've used two on each fold, four long term and two in short runs. I am very happy with this product and it really adds a touch of flair to your RGB setup which is not easy but it does.
