Check. RGB RAM? Check. RGB SSD? Check. And now, thanks to Lian Li, you’re power supply cables get the same boost with its new Strimer RGB PSU cables.  The Strimer cables are a set of PSU extension cables that can connect to your motherboard to your PSU using the motherboard’s 24-pin power connector or it could directly connect to your video card.
