I picked up a new PC case not long ago as the side panel had brokeb, and some RGB light strips so I can see the innards of my computer, it's nice to have it gently cycle through the colours as I'm gaming away, and it allows me to see into it at all times, another nifty feature, it's plugged into the PSU so it lights up when the PC is turned on.

Is there anyway to use these RGB light strips to visualise the temp of my computer? Like blue for cold, orange for warm and red for hot, that kind of thing.

I can attach a pic if needed so you can see what I'm working with.

Tho the Six is is capable of providing manual control, most users don't do that ... who wants to be twiddling 6 knobs all day long ? I just use it for temperature readouts and the MoBo utility does all the fan control of the 16 fans (10 rad / 6 case ... 3 channels each with a hub).

Option ... use a gaming KB w/ LCD and MSI Afterburner or AIDA 64 to display on PCB

I use a programme called Speccy to show me my temps as I don't have a manual fan controller, I'm just thinking of some extra visualisation and ease of whatever... So I don't have to open and close Speccy every now and then.
