all right there's a first time for everything and this is the first time I've ever unboxed a product that was sent to me by one of you yes a fan sent this in can't remember his name or even if there was a name attached to it the first place but I unbox this already on awesome hardware during a segment of mail time and I took it out the box showed it to you guys and put it back in the box haven't touched it since but it's sort of a unique product that's sure to generate some level of discussion so I figured I would give it a closer look today it's from or it was purchased from the folks at addicted PC dot-com from what I can tell they're a smaller company that manufactures RGB power cables now I initially decided against making this video I tried really hard to not make it but after seeing how well the lien lease trimmer 24-pin RGB cable video did do nifer the views alright might as well crumpled up my integrity and throw it into an RGB bucket the pc3 7x gaming headset from mass drop and sennheiser brings you into the game with an open back design featuring angled drivers for pinpoint locational accuracy be heard clearly through the fold-down noise cancelling mic and enjoy the long-lasting comfort of large plush velvet ear pads now available in an all matte black finish so the headset looks as good as it sounds for more info click the link in the description and catch the drop before it's gone now the price that's listed on the website for this cable is 40 US dollars $40 for an AC cable that lights up I would have to imagine that this is really aimed at enthusiasts who are looking for every last bit of flair for their custom PC a nice finishing touch if you are really investing that amount of money into your build so that in mind let's take a look at this niche product starting with the cable itself measures about 5 feet long I would describe the cable itself as being thick for lack of a better term the cables got a really wide gauge to it that doesn't really kink it feels super rugged and durable and it's got a really nice white sleeping on it that seems fairly high quality from what I can tell there's no fraying you get some really beefy heat shrink on either end and the cable terminates to a standard male and female plug however I believe the RGB lighting only exists in the female plug housing whereas this end just doesn't light up but it plugs into the wall so I guess that's okay you won't be able to see it much anyway then again how many people can say that if they plug this into the back of their system right now they'd be able to see it anyway I don't know it's an RGB cable I'm not gonna ask questions and then stemming from the heat shrink on the female side you get a four pin 12 volt connector that you would connect to the RGB header on your RGB supported motherboard which would give the RGB element inside this housing its power and illumination of course that would have me believe that you could customize the lighting with your motherboard manufacturers software like asus or a sink or msi mystic light as far as accessories go it's pretty barren there's no documentation no instruction manual however you do get a couple little accessories including a four pin 12 volt extension cable that measures about six to eight inches long and an expansion cover with a couple cutouts you can route your RGB cable from the back ear case to the inside of your case and then connect it to the RGB header on your motherboard but enough talking about this silly RGB products Kile plug it in and let me see what it looks like ok you win well would you look at that completely lit the LEDs are actually pretty bright even in a well-lit room they're very easy to see right now it's just kind of going through a color cycle between seven or eight different colors or you know sixteen point eight million I guess if you if you want to be marketing but it looks really nice it looks really nice you know I don't know if it looks $40.00 nice you guys let me know what you think of that I'd say the only eyesore is our fourth and 12 volt cable that just kind of seems to be hanging out here bye-bye the plug you could probably zip tie it down find a way to make it look a bit more graceful but it is kind of just free-balling it in the meantime now I tried to install a essaouira on this system cuz reason asus motherboard and it is it's not working casus makes some of the best motherboards and graphics cards in the world and yet they're freaking RGB app doesn't work half the time I don't know what's up with it so I can't actually test it firsthand but I did verify on the addicted PC website that this will work with your motherboard software it doesn't say which ones doesn't list specific ones but it makes sense that if you're plugging it into an RGB header on your board that the appropriate software will be able to change the color that's going to that particular header so that's it that's the RG power cord from dicted PC I think the question we set out to answer at the beginning of this video was why and the only answer I can really come up with is why not if you guys have any better answers than that go ahead and leave them in the comments I'd love to hear all about it but until next time thank you so much for watching this video toss a like on it if you enjoyed it sorry this was an RGB cable video
