PO5-640-UR11 ARGB Strip Not Lighting Up All the Way

Alijoh

I have a PO5-640-UR11 and I got a Deep Cool RGB 200 PRO ARGB Strip for it and if I connect it to any of the #2, 3, or 4 ARGB headers on my MB, few of the LEDs of the 1st srtip light up. And even when I connect the strips to #1 ARGB header, it gives me a full 1 strip plus 2 LEDs on the 2nd strip, so not all the way light up. I read somewhere that this might be due to a "serial connection" of the strip and that this way, current will drop and won't go to all of the LEDs. And I am sure all of the LEDs work becasue the store I got it from tested it in front of me. So, I am going to accept the connection to the #1 header for now as it gives me more LEDs, but appreciate any feedback as to how and if this issue can be solved.

Use ONLY the Acer designed PO5-640s RGB components like below, don't add anything and make your desktop look like X-Mas tree😁less is more as these additional Deep Cool RGB 200 PRO ARGB Strip is either faulty or not compatible with your desktop. RGBs are not an important/essential aspect of a desktops functionality, as a matter of a fact, these lights suck valuable power from the PSU that can be used more efficiently by your desktops components, leave your PO5-640 stock and OEM and leave your desktop as Acer designed it to be, as doing that will make your desktop function at its best and what this desktop was designed for!

What software are you using the drive those LED strips? Likely Predator Sense only knows about the number of lights in the stock system, so you'll need third party software to talk to additional ones.
