Lian Li Strimer Wireless 315mm
Score: 80/100Rankings
The NZXT Control Hub consolidates fan and lighting control for up to five fans and five NZXT RGB devices in a compact form factor. Its proprietary connectors and power-header requirements limit flexibility for mixed-brand builds. Ideal for users fully committed to the NZXT ecosystem seeking streamlined CAM-based control.
The Lian Li Strimer Wireless 24-Pin cable with controller provides wireless ARGB lighting and 132 LEDs for a striking visual effect. Its short length and relatively wide profile limit applicability in larger or compact cases. Ideal for showcase builds that value a clean, USB-free setup.

Professional reviewers view the Control Hub as a straightforward, NZXT-centric solution that excels at consolidating fan and lighting control for NZXT components. They appreciate its easy PCIe power setup, CAM integration, and adapters for legacy fans, but criticize the proprietary connector ecosystem and limited compatibility with third-party RGB gear.
While direct user reviews are scarce, support FAQs reveal recurring concerns about the hub's proprietary connectors and incompatibility with non-NZXT devices. Users who stay within the NZXT ecosystem generally appreciate the unified control and silent Zero RPM feature, but those attempting to mix brands encounter compatibility hurdles.
Editors describe the Strimer Wireless as a "revolutionary" upgrade that streamlines installation with its 2.4 GHz wireless control and eliminates extra power cables, while its abundant ARGB lighting adds a striking visual impact.
