Bottom line: The LIAN LI Strimer Plus V2 8 Pin: 108 LEDs in a diffused ribbon for a continuous glow, not visible dot spacing; main trade-off: no controller in the box, so the L-Connect 3 unit is an extra purchase.

Pros & Cons

Pros

✓ 108 LEDs in a diffused ribbon for a continuous glow, not visible dot spacing
✓ Dual 8-pin GPU coverage in one cable, so both connectors light up
✓ Includes a 3-pin aRGB motherboard adaptor, so no controller needed to light it
✓ Chains with the PW24-PV2 24-pin cable for a matched motherboard-and-GPU look

Cons

✗ No controller in the box, so the L-Connect 3 unit is an extra purchase
✗ Full L-Connect 3 mode set only ships with the PW24-PV2 24-pin cable
✗ aRGB header route means your board software limits the effects available
✗ Built for dual 8-pin cards only, not 12VHPWR or single 8-pin layouts

Manufacturer description

The LIAN LI Strimer Plus V2 8 Pin (PW8-PV2) turns the ugliest part of a build into a feature. This addressable RGB VGA power cable bridges your PSU to a dual 8-pin GPU connector, and it packs 108 LEDs into the diffused ribbon so the glow reads as a continuous light bar rather than a row of dots. If you have a side-panel window and a vertically mounted or high-clearance card, this is the extension cable that makes the GPU power run part of the lighting scheme instead of something you hide behind a shroud. Control is flexible. Lian Li ships a cable adaptor for a standard motherboard 3-pin aRGB…

SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored LIAN LI Strimer Plus V2 8 Pin using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the rgb & lighting category. Lian Li's rgb & lighting lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.

Common buyer scenarios for rgb & lighting of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase. Prices and stock are set by the retailer and may have moved since this page was last updated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Strimer Plus V2 8 Pin come with a controller?

No. Lian Li states that the L-Connect 3 controller (PW24PV2-1) is only included with the PW24-PV2 cable. You can buy the controller separately, or run this cable off your motherboard's 3-pin aRGB header using the included adaptor.

Will this work with my GPU?

It is built specifically for cards with a dual 8-pin GPU power connector. If your card uses a single 8-pin or a 12VHPWR connector, this is not the right Strimer version. Check your card's power inputs before ordering.

How many LEDs does it have?

108 LEDs. They sit behind a diffused ribbon, which is why the cable reads as one continuous light strip instead of individual points when it is powered on.

Can I control the lighting without buying the L-Connect 3 controller?

Yes. The package includes a cable adaptor for a standard motherboard aRGB 3-pin header, so your board's own lighting software can drive it. The L-Connect 3 controller adds Lian Li's dedicated mode set if you want more effects.

Does it match the 24-pin Strimer cable?

Yes, Lian Li lists it as compatible with the PW24-PV2 24-pin cable, so the two are designed to be run together for a matched motherboard and GPU lighting look.
