Introduction
I would like to thank
Lian Li for supplying the review sample.
Lian Li managed to add another element of system lighting with the original Strimer series, which we also reviewed. The Strimer Plus V2 aims to provide that same type of power cable extension, but coupled with ARGB, and integrates both elements better than the original version. The Lian Li Strimer Plus V2 series provides a 24-pin ATX power cable extension and two PCIe offerings—one with two 6+2 connectors simply called the "Strimer Plus V2 8-Pin" and the other with a whooping three 6+2 connectors for even the biggest GPUs out there marketed as the "Strimer Plus V2 Triple 8-Pin." We will take a look at each of these in this review, and will dive into the companion software Lian Li provides for these units and their lighting ecosystem.

Each of the three SKUs ships in a black cardboard box sized to the extension cable size. These feature reflective elements and an image of what each of the cables looks like within.
