I am now in the yellow gang. :( Started with one or two and now almost all are yellow. I have a bunch of extra rgb strips so I'll just replace it.

That's what I did on mine. I actually did that as the first thing... Using some regular 5050 RGB non water proof LEDs. The strip that I got was the one with 300 LEDs (spaced closely) vs the 150 LED (spaced too far).

Wow, that is nice. Mine are spaced further apart so not quite as bright. I'm glad I replaced the ones that came with the case though, RGB is really nice. The EVGA plexiglass piece was a fantastic idea by EVGA especially the way they use the light shining on/through it.

Yours and mine both. I can barely tell they're on in a dark room anymore. My gpu outshines them greatly. I had to call and email them some picks, but they said they will send replacement out.

Anyone got a replacement LED strip in the past month or two? And how is it holding up?
I have a YELLOW LED strip for the past few months but I'm waiting to see if the LED strip has been fixed of this annoying issue?

i honestly believe it has more to do with the location that is making it burn the plastic lenses turning them brown than it is faulty LED strips. as it also did the same thing to my CableMod LEDs that i installed into that black plastic shroud.  i would simply buy a magnetic strip and put it on the radiator, or on the case if a radiator isnt installed there. that black plastic shroud just acts like an insulator keeping the heat in the LED's and eventually make them brown, if you leave them on long enough and/or have a lot of hot components in the case.

Yeah, that's what I meant, yellowing. Good idea about the magnetic strip. It doesn't look like EVGA's replacements will be a permanent fix, unless they find a permanent fix. Might as well fix it myself.
