I have a LED strip (2 pin) plugged into a 3 pin adapter that is plugged into a 4pin fan header on a z170i asus mobo. as the pc starts the led strip is dim, but once windows loads, it goes full bright. is there a way to limit the power to that fan header so the strip will stay dim? i tried...

the "upgrade" expired a while ago. i cant remeber if it was dec 2106 or 2017. but since then i have used a windows 7 key to "activate" a windows 10 install. i know its weird. they took away the free upgrade, but using the key during a windows 10 clean install worked perfectly fine. if you do...

someone who has money, wants that extra 1 or 2 degree difference, and/or cares more about looks then price. the only thing i dont get, anyone spending money on this should just be buying a 1080ti instead?
