So I'm using an EVGA z690 CLASSIFIED motherboard, which has its 24 pin on the side of the board running parallel, not facing up perpendicular to the board like most others. My plan was to use the Lian Li Strimer V2 RGB cables for my 24 pin mobo and triple 8 pin gpu. My problem is, that the Strimer cables are designed for a perpendicular board, so the "lock" pin is on the wrong side, and I have no way of reversing them.

Has anyone ever come across an adaptor that would plug into the motherboard with it's lock pin one way, and then reverse the lock pin for you to plug your cables into?


I wanted to stick with EVGA because of their support, but this is a big enough issue to me that I would completely swap my mobo and gpu just to use these cables. Everyone knows that more rgb = more fps.

Nevermind, I'm an idiot. For anyone in the future, you can reverse the cables independently of the RGB strips with just a couple of plastic fasteners :wallbash:
