Review on Phanteks NEON Digital RGB Strip PH NELEDKT_M5 by Shane Watson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Looks great but the hardware sucks

The strip itself looks fantastic. Diffusion is a great smooth effect. and it includes a cable that converts the 3-pin connector to a standard ARGB connector. Unfortunately, the mounting material makes no sense. The small strip holders have holes for you to place them on the motherboard mounts, but they are non-tightened so they just rotate and slide freely between the case and the board. Either way, all you have to do is use double-sided tape and you can just take out your motherboard for nothing. Also on the bottom edge of my board the holes were too far from the edge to fit. I finally got something to work, only to finish and realize I'm out of "straight" mounts - they only give you 3. It's not enough if you don't want it to sag. In the end I ended up with duct tape. This made installation difficult, but yes. looks great
