Type of review

Went Mini Itx this year decided to go all out for a neat led strip to showcase the innards. This is pretty bright and my first LED strip ever so can't compare other than my keyboard. None of the LEDs came broken no issues so far, will hold off on the instillation until the remaining aesthetics to give a proper review and after some time.Til then will hold off one star.

Pros
  • ‎Shenzhen ALITOVE Electronic Technology Co., Ltd
Cons
  • May not be durable enough for long-term use

Avoid these ones. good for me

Very low quality compared to the countless other cheap lights I've bought for a similar or cheaper price, these didn't last the day, these have specific headers and none of them actually connect to the motherboard, both ets I received where for fan adapter. Upon purchasing an additional extension to run these they all burnt out immediately.Yes, I followed the instructions 5v connection required. They still failed.The adhesive was also not friendly as out of the box it would not stay attached to

Pros
  • ‎Modern
Cons
  • May be too bulky for some users

Great leds, but very tricky to setup.

If you are smart enough to read this before buying this, you will be grateful. You MUST use your motherboard's software! It works with any software as long as the software is for your motherboard. I have an AORUS motherboard so I use the Gigabyte RGB Fusion 2.0; because that is the company that made AORUS motherboards. So if you buy these, us the motherboard's software (don't worry I learned this from experience I tried Msi, Asus, and ASRock, none worked).

Pros
  • ‎Dimmable
Cons
  • May not fit properly in some types of computer cases

Lights work and sync with ASUS Aura

At first, the lights would not work. I tested each strip individually and thought that all were DOA. After a few more minutes, I started looking them over along with the AURA cable it comes with. The AURA cable had the PINS in the wrong slots on the adapter end that attaches to the LED's. I had to remove the PIN's from the housing. I then put heat tape over each PIN so that they would not make contact when I plugged them in one at a time. After plugging them in, they worked. Someone reversed…

Pros
  • ‎Remote
Cons
  • May be too expensive for some users

They work as described.

Why bore you with a lengthy description of the LED strips when you can just see them in use in the short 40 second clip attached to this review.I can say that they are compatible with Gigabyte's RGB Fusion software, you must use software to gain the effects. In my case the default action for these LED's without the software from Gigabyte was the boards default orange glow. They were simple to hook up but I did have to try several placements to get the most light from them. Ended up putting them

Cons
  • May be difficult to store or transport

Great quality! best in my review

Nice quality strips. More LED's per strip than others I've owned. Connectors are long and flexible allowing the strips to go pretty much anywhere. Included Y connector also helps (you can also chain them). They are not recognized by Aura Sync with my Asus TUF X570 Plus (WiFi) motherboard. They run in rainbow mode but I wish I could control them with Aura. UPDATE 6/29/2020 They've been working with Asus Aura for a while now. Can't remember when but an update to the software or BIOS fixed it.

Pros
  • ‎19.2 watts
Cons
  • May be too flashy

Pros
  • ‎Plastic
Cons
  • May be too bright for certain types of setups

Great Looking Lights

These lights worked out pretty well. My son is very happy. Using an ASRock B450M/AC and Polychome to control them. Also paired them with a pair of DEEPCOOL CF120 fans.I read a few reviews from folks stating that not all the lights were working. You might want to do some math before ordering just to ensure your board can handle all of them.In my case, the board can output 15W from the addressable header. These lights are 9.6W total so that leaves us with 5.4W to spare. The CF120 fans each draw…

Pros
  • ‎3 Pin JST SM connector
Cons
  • May drain too much power from the computer

Great cheap alternative

Put these in 2 different pc’s and it worked alright however once you stick them down don’t pull them up because the adhesive barely works the first try, I had a set in my first pc that I eventually moved to a different pc and the adhesive was practically gone. I ended up having to purchase the razer chroma lighting hub for my first pc because on the b350 motherboard their was no argb plug in so if you go that route please know that the razer hub only allowed for 80 leds, with thease strips you…

Pros
  • ‎4x ALITOVE 40CM Addressable RGB LED strips, 1x Motherboard connection cable, 1x Splitter cable
Cons
  • May require frequent updates or firmware upgrades

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…

Pros
  • ‎Multicolor
Cons
  • May not be user-friendly

Good, but lost the admiration.

At this point I'm not sure how to feel about these ARGB strips, When I bought them, I was super satisfied! The mouthwatering colors' saturation, the flawless color accuracy, or the fact that these strips are under $13; I kind of didn't know which of those fabulous properties to choose from as a favorite to write about. So, I decided to use those strips for a few months and then choose my favorite aspect, but the unexpected have occurred.After 2 months of use, the adhesive failed, and one of the

Very bright and vivid colors- fully addressable
