Addressable Gen 3 led strip recommendations (W2812B) Asus Rog Maximus Hero z890

[StarkNuttie78]

I have a question about those 3 headers on the motherboard. I want to give the case a UV look for my high-quality sleeves.

What are the most recommended places to get?

Do not refer me to Amazon. I don't like Amazon because they are not guaranteed, plus they have a weird manufacturing smell sometimes.

It can be only 3 pins directly to the motherboard or a Molex connector to the PSU.

One of the best choices I would like to have a mini battery-operated box that can be tucked away out of sight and charge the LED in the background. Just getting creative with modding. I already have something from Etsy, which is custom-done by a 3D printer, and I managed to get the Asus ROG UV logo colored with an AIO cooler clamp on. Custom made. I just want my stuff to glow. I'm an artist. 

What is highly recommended from Newegg or directly from any website? 

UV color. I believe they are 3 volts supported.

One more thing. Do they QR scan motherboard manuals? I miss how their motherboard manuals used to be. You have a book and can read it. Now you have to download it. Lol. Will they ever go back to the original way, or does this save the environment? Probably. 

I have seen big boxes from ASUS ROG as a bundle on YouTube; these streamers have huge boxes. Are they special, or can you order those? 

Thanks for reading!

Hello StarkNuttie78

You can use regular argb led strips and set a custom color to get close to the UV spectrum.

I added UV led's to my case (Thermaltake Tower 900). My case has a 5.25" drive bay, what I did was got a fan controller and hooked up UV led strips to it.

I used Darkside led strips that connect to a fan controller, they are dimmable. Select the connector type (3-pin fan). Some of the led strips have an option for a molex connector.

I appreciate the input. I cannot use 3.5 bays. I have a Corsair 7000x but I will check out the leds though. They have to be at least 5v rating. I don't want to burn anything or damage anything. It needs to be a proper power source connection for Asus Rog Maximus Hero z980.

Besides these are rgb headers. You should never connect non rgb leds to them. I am trying to find a other solution. No worries.

Ok, if you want to use addressable led strips, here is a set of four 19" led strips, measure your case to make sure they'll fit. 

You'll have to set a custum UV color for these, and of course they can do any other color as well.

Or, if you want strictly UV, you might be better off going with UV lights with a molex power connector.
