The Hydrus ATX extension is R599 and puts its ARGB window in the right-angle head itself. Light sits at the socket, not along the cable. For South African buyers that is a single accent with a 1 Year Local Warranty behind it, rather than a full lighting project.
A single ARGB connector can do more for a case's visual impact than an entire strip of RGB fans, provided the light sits exactly where the eye is already looking. The Hydrus ATX extension bets everything on that one spot: the board socket itself.
The Hydrus ATX extension is R599 and puts its ARGB window in the right-angle head itself. Light sits at the socket, not along the cable. For South African buyers that is a single accent with a 1 Year Local Warranty behind it, rather than a full lighting project.
Unlike a strip lit along its full length, the Hydrus extension concentrates its glow entirely inside the integrated 90-degree right-angle head, right at the point where the cable meets the board's 24-pin socket. The 30cm run itself carries no lighting - it is the connector, not the cable, that becomes the visual focal point, which is a deliberate design choice rather than a limitation. That single point of light does a surprising amount of work in an otherwise dark case, since it sits exactly where a build's main power connection naturally draws the eye.
The price covers the complete assembly as one piece: the lit right-angle head itself, 30cm of 18AWG copper wrapped in a diamond-frosted PVC jacket, and the 5V 3-pin lead that drives the ARGB lighting off the board's own addressable header. Nothing about this is sold in parts - it is one finished extension that plugs in and lights up, not a kit requiring separate lighting hardware.
The straight-down ATX cable comes in two finishes: White and Black. White lifts a lighter-themed build with a brighter jacket surrounding the glowing window, while Black lets the cable itself disappear into a darker interior, leaving only the ARGB window visibly floating at the socket - a genuinely different effect from the same underlying hardware.
As a male-to-female extension, the Hydrus cable joins onto whatever 24-pin lead your existing power supply already has, meaning any ATX-standard supply works regardless of whether it is modular or fixed-cable. The ARGB lighting itself syncs through a standard 5V 3-pin connection to the board - the same header type any other addressable component in a build already uses, so there is no proprietary control software or special hardware required beyond what most boards already support. Have a look through cable solutions for the wider category this piece sits within, and NZXT case lighting is worth a browse for anyone looking to build out a fuller lighting scheme around this one accent point.
