It works! Genuinely impressed.
I just transferred my PC into a new case, which has a window in the side. I don't normally spend much time looking inside my computer, but it seemed a shame not to be able to see what's in there.My ASUS motherboard has a four-pin RGB header, so I looked for suitable RGB lighting strips. This one stood out, mostly because it was very cheap.It's brilliant (pun intended).The kit includes a splitter cable which splits one RGB header into three, an extension cable, and the three strips.The strips have adhesive on, but I didn't use it because they are also magnetic. They stuck firmly to the inside of my case, and I haven't felt the need to use adhesive instead.I had a minor faff getting the plug to fit my motherboard header, but I think that was an issue with a bent pin on my mobo, and not the cable. The cables are long enough for me to put a strip on each side and one across the top, and still tuck the cables away fairly neatly.Full disclosure, I'm having an issue with ASUS Aura, and it won't detect my Mobo's RGB riser. This seems to be fairly common and is nothing to do with the LED strip. However, it does mean I can't confirm whether or not it works with Aura Sync. What I can say is it works with ASUS AI Suite 3. That only gives limited control, but I am able to change the colours, change the flash cycle and type, and turn it all off.To be honest, that's about all you CAN do with a four-pin RGB header. To get the full rainbow-vomit effect, you need ARGB (Adressable RGB), which my motherboard doesn't support, and neither does this kit. This is specifically for 4-pin RGB, NOT ARGB.I did have to turn the RGB header on in my BIOS. If your strip doesn't light up, check that the RGB LED header is enabled.I'm happy with this kit. For £12, it's doing exactly what I wanted.

Just what I needed
I like the PC case lights, but the delivery was very poor service, not like Amazon atall.

Coloured led lights that I like
Not tried the adhesion, so no marks positive or negative.It works well with my motherboards Fusion RGB software - for me it is bright enough without be too distracting. I currently have 4 strips (2 packs) installed in my PC with some RAB with RGB on its way - I after installation of that I may get some more strips.

Does the job
Colour representation is good with gradual brightness increments, instead of all on or off.I would recommend tweaking your colours to get them just right as the default white has a blue tinge and the default red is super deep and dark.The strips are shorter than I thought so I had to get two packs, however, the length is mentioned in the product description so make sure to measure. I have been able to peel it off and re-adhere it with no issue. Doubt you will able to do this more than once.The cable and extension and small and easy to hide, however, the connectors are huge by comparison and not so easy to tuck away.

Good price and most effective
I bought a set of four strips with a little hesitation, not really bothering much about RGB previously.The first two photos that I have included show the contents of the box. There is one main cable that you need to connect to your motherboards RGB header. You have to be REALLY careful when doing this. Ensure that the arrow on the cable end (the one with the four LED cable attachments) matches up to the 12v on the 12v RGB plug on the motherboard. As the plug and socket are not sided in any way you can get this wrong.Both the connection to the motherboard and then from the cable to each of the LED strips is "ok". What I mean is there is no "click" or lock it just pushes and then can be pulled apart with a little force.They also supply two extension type cable, seen in photo two.These are only to connect the main 12v plug cable to and extend that. That give me a little problem as I have two 12v RGB sockets on my board but could only use one due to what is supplied - you need their 12v RGB "gang of four" cable to plug the cables into as they can't plug directly into the motherboard.Thankfully I did not need to use the adhesive strip, the positions they are in is on a metal surface and so they seem to stick well. That means they can be easily moved in needed.On powering up I needed to use RGB Fusion software to control the LED's - without any software control they default to a very bright and steady white.I have needed to reduce their brightness and you can see the last two photos shows a couple of colour examples on their lowest brightness setting.Overall I am pleased with the quality and overall function of these and I would recommend them. You do get an offer to extend your warranty to two years with the included warranty card.It is claimed that the LED's are rated for 100,000 hours life.I do hope that this review has helped you.Happy shopping :)

Great strips that leave room for expansion.
The strips themselves are of a good quality and the length of both the strips and cables should be decent for most pc cases while the extension cables are long enough to route through the back of the case or behind the front bezel depending on your setup.The strips replicate the rest of my builds colour scheme (red) in line with the fans and other RGB components I have installed, with my motherboard having two JRGB pin output locations that are now unevenly utilized all components connected to motherboard for RBG using MSI Mystic are displaying the same colours with no noticeable degrigation.The strips first extension cable can be connected directly to the motherboard or via pass through cable of an already connected RGB fan or device, however as they are using a proprietary connector after this point this with be the termination point of your RGB passthrough loop unless it's more of the same strips you are connecting.The adhesive strips left a little to be desired, the first strip I attempted to peel seperated the entire adhesive strip from the led strip, after carefully realigning it back into place it took a knife a tweezers along with a bucket load of paitence to seperate the protective layer from the sticky strip so just be aware to take your time with it.Overall I'm happy with the purchase.
