RGB LED Strips

[Cloudy]

I don't think there are any LED pins for lights to plug into a Asus Prime Z370-P motherboard, so I need help with suggestions. What is the best way to add magnetic RGB LED strips to a PC? Is my only option using a remote to change the colours apose to PC software?

What's the problem, just buy the strips.

OP's motherboard does not have RGB header control RGB strips using software.

@OP. You can use NXT Hue+ (Corsair/ASUS do a similar product but not what they are called). You cannect the RGB strips to the the NZXT Hue+ module. You can control the colours using NZXT Hue+ software.

that board does not have a rgb header

but you can get a usb controller for rgb/w strips

Will a 'EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply' work worth this LED Strip kit? Can't tell if the PSU has a old '4pinDC connector'. (That or maybe some suggestions for ATX mid tower cases that have a built in RGB LEDs that you can control with a panel button.)

Corsair Lightning Node or NZXT Hue. I personally perfer first.

You connect them to an USB 2 Header on your Motherboard and can control them via Software then. No additional Power despite USB required. If you do, it will require a STA power connector which you have plenty on all PSU cables by default (the same you use to power drives).

Although those both seem much better, they are over $70CAD on Amazon.ca... I can't justify that for my friend for some RGB LEDs. :(

Thank you for offering suggetions though

Then just buy a cheap set that connects to USB and comes with a Remote.
The ones that look designed for Cars and TVs for ambient lighting addons, are still just USB 5V @ 1Amp
