Stupid RGB strip question.

[glytch5]

So I have been through my RGB experience with both Bitfenix strips, and now Phanteks strips.
The phanteks strips are heck of a lot brighter than bitfenix, so I have been enjoying those. Both work my Mysitc light for my MSI board.

What I am wondering from you, the community is, have any of you come across an RGB strip brand that can work with Mystic light, and actually do the "stack" or sequential mode?
When I do stack, my right motherboard set of RGBs stack one light, two lights, three lights and yada yada, I tell my strips to follow suit but they all just flash on and off.

Are there any mainstream RGB strips out there that do the wave kinda deal? Thanks.

To get the wave effect, you'll need a LED strip which has addressable LEDs inside it. Like this one,

Setting it up and making it work may need a bit of coding but the end result is awesome.

Here's also an article that reviewed that specific LED strip,

Ah so there is no main stream strip then that does not requite soldering or special work to allow them to be addressed that way?

Well, NZXT offers HUE+ Extension Kit which has 2x 300mm LED strips with addressable LEDs inside it,

Though, i'm not sure if NZXT LED strips also support any other control method besides NZXT HUE+ controller and NZXT CAM software.

As far as that LED spool goes that i linked to you, you don't need to go with 16.4 feet one. Go with 3.2 feet one (970mm) which has more manageable length,

I gotcha... I guess the whole individually addressable thing is what I was trying to figure out. Thanks a bunch!
