Lian Li Strimer V2 Plus 600 watt 12VHPWR RGB cables wiring guide and tips

In this video I'm showing off the Lian Li Strimer V2 Plus cables that are specifically designed for Nvidia's 40-series graphics cards and work with the 600watt PCIe connector. There are three different models available being shown here, so it's important to ensure you have the right one.

There are two cables which have that 600 watt 12VHPWR connector on both ends, this requires a PCIe gen 5 power supply unit with the right sort of connection OR a dedicated cable with that option. Alternatively you can get a cable that works with the three 8-pin PCIe connections you'd usually get from your power supply unit for graphics cards but then terminates into a 600watt connection style that connects to the GPU.

In this video I'm showing how these cables are installed, the logic for doing it, things to think about and how to avoid any issues.
Note that I've done a couple of videos on the previous Strimer cables and how those connect. To get the best out of these GPU cables you'll also need the control box that's included with the original 24-pin strimer cable:

​The new STRIMER PLUS V2 12VHPWR cables feature a custom design 12VHPWR male connector at the GPU end. The connector follows the ATX 3.0 standard of a 12+4pin with improvements to its original design to provide a stronger connection to the GPU, and uses materials to ensure the connector’s durability. Built with 16AWG wires to deliver up to 600W, the STRIMER PLUS V2 12VHPWR cables can sustain higher temperatures and sharper bends even when it is close to the connector. For extra bending tolerance, part of the connector housing can be removed to allow the extension cables to bend even closer to the connector and improve large GPU’s compatibility with narrow PC cases.

With ATX 3.0 power supplies, there are two STRIMER options which are built with a 12VHPWR female connection at the PSU cable end. The first one features a wider array of LEDS with 12 light guides and can be connected to an existing STRIMER L-Connect 3 controller into the 3x8pin slot for instant compatibility. The second option is slimmer with 8 light guides and is compatible with the 2x8pin slot of the existing STRIMER L-Connect 3 controller. For older PSUs without 12VHPWR, users can opt for the STRIMER PLUS V2 12VHPWR 12+4pin to 3x8pin. This gives the option to directly connect the STRIMER PLUS V2 to modern GPUs. Featuring 8 light guides, the STRIMER PLUS V2 12VHPWR 12+4pin to 3x8pin is compatible with the 2x8pin slot of the existing STRIMER L-Connect 3 controller.
