Astro Gaming 3x8 Pin RGB Cable Extension 108 LEDs 18AWG 2 in 1 accessory
A 3×8-pin RGB extension cable with 108 LEDs, 18 AWG wire and 360-degree lighting for motherboard 5 V 3-pin headers
- Smooth 360° RGB glow with 108 addressable LEDs and no dark spots
- Flexible 18AWG braided cable bends tightly for clean routing inside any case
- Direct 5V 3-pin connection works with motherboard RGB software such as Aura Sync, RGB Fusion and Mystic Light
- Easy plug-and-play 3x8-pin connectors extend power cables without extra adapters
- Durable copper-core construction keeps signal stable while enhancing the look of windowed builds
3x8 Pin RGB Extension Cable
This 2 in 1 accessory adds addressable lighting to a power supply connection using 108 light beads that produce 16 million colours across a 360 degree glow. The 18AWG wire with thick copper core handles sustained current while the braided sleeve keeps the strip in a tight curve for clean routing inside a case. It is aimed at builders who want visible cable illumination without replacing the PSU itself.
Sustained load behaviour
The thick copper core and 18AWG gauge maintain stable delivery during continuous operation so the LEDs keep full brightness without voltage drop along the run. The flexible construction supports any bending angle, preventing stress on the connectors when the system runs for long periods. Builders who need higher current capacity than this gauge provides should look elsewhere.
5V 3-pin ARGB interface limits
Male and female 5V 3-pin connectors link directly to motherboard headers or fan controllers that support Asus Aura Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion and MSI Mystic Light ecosystems. The three 8-pin power plugs extend existing PSU cables but do not add extra power phases or change the supply rating. Systems lacking a 5V 3-pin ARGB header cannot control the lighting effects.

Questions about this item
Does the 108 LED strip on this extension cable generate noticeable heat or draw extra power when running continuously?
The 108 LEDs operate on the 5 V 3-pin RGB header and draw only the current the motherboard or controller supplies; the 18 AWG copper conductors handle the load without measurable heat build-up during all-day use.
What motherboard header or controller must I already have to plug in the 5 V 3-pin connectors on this cable?
You need a standard 5 V 3-pin addressable RGB header on the motherboard — compatible with Asus Aura Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion or MSI Mystic Light — or a separate ARGB fan controller with the same 3-pin connector.
Will the 3x8 pin connector on this extension work with an older power supply that only has 6+2 pin PCIe plugs?
The 3x8 pin end is designed for the GPU side; the other end terminates in 5 V 3-pin RGB connectors for the motherboard, so the PSU only needs standard PCIe power cables — the RGB link is separate and does not depend on the PSU’s pin layout.
