A power supply's stock cables rarely get a second look once a build is finished - flat, unlit, and doing their job quietly behind whatever colour scheme the rest of the case follows. The Aurora ARGB cover kit from AsiaHorse changes that without asking for a single new cable: two shells clip over the runs already carrying power to the board and the graphics card, adding lit strands where there used to be plain plastic. At R699 for the pair, it sits well under the R800 mark most buyers set aside for a lighting add-on, and it works with cables you already own.

Quick Answer

The Aurora ARGB PSU Cable Cover Kit costs R699 for both colours and clips over the cables already installed in your case - no replacement PSU cable required. The 24-pin cover carries 81 addressable LEDs, the eight-pin GPU cover carries 80, and both sync through a single motherboard 5V 3-pin header. Pick black or white; every AsiaHorse SKU we bring in, this one included, carries a 1 Year Local Warranty.

💡 Two shells, one job each

The kit is a pair of moulded covers, not a cable replacement. One is shaped for the 24-pin motherboard run, the other for the eight-pin graphics run, and each simply clips shut around the cable that's already routed through the case. Stock power supply cables work underneath, and so do sleeved extensions if the build already has them fitted - the shell doesn't care which, only that the run it clips over is roughly straight along its length.

Because nothing is unplugged to fit them, the electrical side of the machine stays exactly as it was. The shells add a lit surface over the top; the cable underneath keeps carrying the connection.

🔌 One header, no extra hardware

Power and sync both arrive over a single 5V 3-pin header on the motherboard. There's no controller box to find space for, no SATA lead to route back to the supply, and no separate remote to lose behind the drive cage. That single connection is also worth checking before ordering - a board whose addressable headers are already spoken for by other fans or strips has nothing left over to run these shells from, so confirming a spare exists first is a sensible step. A cable management solution alongside it can tidy the header lead itself once it's plugged in.

🎨 Same kit, two finishes

Black and white are the only two options, and both are priced identically at R699. Black tends to disappear into a dark interior until the strands light up, turning into an accent rather than a fixture; white stays visible even switched off, brightening a lighter build around it. Neither changes the LED count or the fitment - the choice is purely about which one suits the rest of the case.

For a broader look at case lighting options beyond cable covers, it's worth comparing how a point of light at a connector differs from a lit span running the length of a cable.

Frequently Asked Questions

What arrives in the R699 box?

Two shells - a 24-pin cover and an eight-pin graphics cover - designed to clip over cables that are already in the build rather than replace them.

How many LEDs does each cover carry?

81 addressable LEDs sit in the 24-pin shell, and 80 sit in the GPU shell, each styled as an individually glowing strand rather than one solid bar.

Do I need to buy new cables to use it?

No. The shells clip over stock cables or sleeved extensions, so whatever is currently running in the case can be dressed as it stands.

How does the lighting get its power?

Through one 5V 3-pin motherboard header, which supplies both power and sync - there's no controller box or SATA lead involved anywhere in the kit.

Does current flow through the covers themselves?

None at all. They're decorative shells; the original cable underneath continues to carry the full electrical connection exactly as before.

Which colours are available?

Black and white, both at the same R699 price. Black recedes until lit, white stays visible as part of the build's look even with the lighting off.

Is the kit covered by a warranty?

Yes - every AsiaHorse cover in this range carries a 1 Year Local Warranty, so a genuine fault gets sorted locally rather than mailed offshore and waited on.
