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. Zero RGB is enough.
I don’t need my bedroom lit up at night like an amusement park because the PC hardware makers think all gamers need Extryme Lighting.
My motherboard’s power LED is too much.
It’s partially because of my use case (My gaming PC occupies a very obvious position in living/hosting/social room and is also the central device that feeds the two TVs there) and partially my personality, but LED lighting is fun and i go out of my way to pick components that have it if the price hike is reasonable.
Syncing all the lights together into a pattern i choose is fun.
