Manufacturer description

The Lian Li Strimer Plus V2 PW16-12PV2 is an addressable RGB extension cable built specifically for the 12+4-pin 12VHPWR connector that feeds modern high-wattage graphics cards. Twelve individual light guides run the length of the cable, turning the usually hidden run between your power supply and GPU into a lit focal point of the build. The male-to-male connector layout means it slots inline between your existing 12VHPWR cable and the card, so you keep your PSU's native cabling and simply add the lighting layer on top. Lian Li rates the cable for high-speed signal pass-through, and the…

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this work with my RTX graphics card?

It fits any card using the 12+4-pin 12VHPWR connector. If your GPU takes only 6-pin or 8-pin PCIe power, this cable will not connect. Check your card's power input before ordering.

Does it replace my power supply cable?

No. The connectors are male to male, so it runs inline between your PSU's existing 12VHPWR cable and the graphics card. Your original cable stays in the build.

How many light guides does it have?

Twelve individual light guides run along the cable, so the lighting reads as separate illuminated strands rather than one wide diffused bar.

Is the Strimer Plus V2 worth 52.99 dollars?

It is a cosmetic upgrade with no effect on power delivery or frame rates. It delivers on looks, but skip it if your GPU cable is hidden behind a panel.

What do I need to control the lighting?

The cable needs a compatible RGB controller or motherboard header to drive and sync its lighting. Check the product listing for exactly which controller is included in the box.
