Review on 🌈 ALITOVE 3.2ft WS2812B RGB LED Strip Light: Programmable, Addressable, DC5V, Arduino & Raspberry Pi Compatible by Samantha Cook

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works great on ASUS ROG Maximus X Hero motherboards. You just need to cut some lights so you have 50 pieces.

Best $10 I've ever spent. This light bar is a perfect match for the addressable RGB LED header on the ASUS ROG Maximus X Hero motherboard. Using a small adapter cable, connect the 3-pin connector of the LED strip to the 4-pin connector on the motherboard (in the right cable, the 3rd pin of the 4-pin connector is blocked). doesn't work fully and I only have 1, 2 or 3 lights on. This is because I was trying to use too much light. You have to disable some lights so you only have 50 lights. 60 is too much for this motherboard with no extra power. It's really easy to fix. You just cut off 10 lightbulbs. Here's the math explanation for why it works: The ASUS ROG Maximus X Hero motherboard delivers 3 amps (3000mA) of power to an addressable RGB LED header. each light at maximum brightness). Each light can draw up to 60mA of current as each light consists of red, green and blue LEDs, each of which can draw 20mA at full brightness. 50 LEDs x 60mA = 3000mA. 3000 mA (or 3 amps) can support this motherboard. If you try to use all 60 LEDs, the motherboard won't be able to power them all. Just cut 10 of them along the black line on the light stripe and you're done. It will work immediately.

Pros
  • Big selection
Cons
  • Hard to remember, but it was
