NZXT Hue controller use with custom LED strip

[boygenius]

Hii fellow members,

I bought the NZXT Hue controller a while back. But i see the LED strip like not so good as compared to the 5050 RGB LED strip. The LED strip connection looks the same. Does anyone know if there'll be any issue?

Also, since I'm buying just the 5050 RGB LED strip, anyone can recommend the best store (SLS got a few) to get them from? PCLeds.com sells them too, but just looking at other options (if can get cheaper, why not, rite )

The LED strip comparison

Shadow, if i connect the new LED's 4pin to my Hue controller 4pin connector, should be can, rite? Coz the controller already taking the power supply from the PSU.

Shadow84, dont anyhow suggest. 4pin RGB is different from normal LEDs. 4pin RGB got 4 contact pins (12V, Red, Blue, Green) you will need a RGB connector. I think you should be fine using the HUE controller for the new RGB strips.

As what Shadow84 suggest is fine to use molex if you are using those single color LED strips.

My current build is using a lot of RGB strips thats why I know.
