The 24-pin Learn shell is 205mm and the graphics shell is 260mm, matching the runs each is built for. That difference decides placement. A 260mm shell needs a longer straight section of cable than the shorter one does, which not every layout provides.
Millimetres rarely make headlines in a hardware listing, but they decide whether a lighting accessory actually clips into place or sits half a shell short of the cable it was meant for. The Aurora Learn ARGB PSU Cable Cover comes in two lengths, and knowing which one matches which run avoids that problem entirely.
The 24-pin Aurora Learn shell measures 205mm, while the graphics version built for a three-plug run measures 260mm, each matching the cable it is designed to sit over. Both are priced at R599 and carry the same 108 LEDs. The length difference is what decides where each shell can actually be fitted, since a longer shell simply needs more straight cable underneath it than a shorter one does.
Built to match the 24-pin cable running from your power supply to the motherboard, this shorter shell suits a run that is typically one wide, flat cable rather than several separate leads.
Shaped for the group of three 8-pin leads feeding a graphics card, this longer shell needs a correspondingly longer stretch of straight cable to close over before it can be fitted cleanly.
A moulded shell needs a run of cable at least as long as itself, laid reasonably straight, before it will clip closed. That makes the board run, which is often straighter along its length, generally easier to fit than the graphics run, which tends to curve as it rises from a shroud toward the card.
Both lengths carry the same 108 addressable LEDs and the same controller and remote, so the choice between them is entirely about which cable run you are covering rather than any difference in lighting capability. Neither shape needs anything special worked around a case lighting setup running alongside it.
The 24-pin board version measures 205mm, and the three-plug graphics version measures 260mm, as stated in their respective descriptions.
A moulded shell needs a straight section of cable at least as long as itself, so a longer shell is naturally harder to position.
The board run often does, while the graphics run frequently curves as it rises from a shroud toward the card.
It spreads the same 108 LEDs over a longer span, covering more visible area but with the individual points spaced further apart.
Each is shaped for its own cable arrangement, so swapping them is a fitment question rather than simply a matter of length.
It can. A compact case may not offer a full 260mm of straight visible cable anywhere along the graphics run.
Measuring the straight section actually available is the most reliable way to know which shell your specific build can accommodate.
