If we’re building PCs here, i wanna hear your opinions on (A)RGB LEDs. 5V, 12V, single color, addressable. MFing Lights.
What’s your preferred amount? Just a few LED fans? Or some RGB RAM sticks? Maybe just on your CPU cooler? Or a single solitary LED strip?
Maybe you’re like me. Maybe you need more. Maybe your build isn’t complete unless everything is glowing and synced. LED strip, LED fans, CPU cooler, GPU, the works. Why can’t a PC be functional and fun to look at?
Or maybe you want no LEDs at all. Maybe you’re a Noctua fan. Maybe you cringe at the idea of PC components that light up more than absolutely necessary.
So let’s hear it. How much lighting is enough? Is there such a thing as enough, or too much for you?
Zero. It seems like the rabid focus on aesthetics has lead to unbreathable (but good looking) PC cases that make it harder to cool components and ultimately worsen performance indirectly. And I am still irritated that the RGB on my current PC cant be turned off via software or via the motherboard (yay known bugs that were never fixed!) which made it so I had to completely shut the PC off in my room in order to sleep until I found out where the manual RGB toggle was.
