I always feel like a bit of a weirdo for not liking RGB.
51
My case has 1 dim white led strip on the mobo and nothing else. I need to replace the cpu cooler with a black one and it will be fully murdered out.

You‘re just a sane person. I think people who even tolerate RGB are weirdos. I wouldn‘t accept RGB even for free. The only light coming from my setup should be from the monitor.

It’s take or leave for me

Yeah when i build my pc 2 years ago i went full. On RGB.. RGB waterblocks for my GPU trident z ram, RGB fans etc.. now i turned off all the RGB and went with noctua fans 😂😂

There’s dozens of us!

pcmr overcompensation:

Is your PC really a PC if it doesn't have RGB everywhere?
13
Yes it is.
16
Do you have RGB to show it?
6
I actually do ^^
My pc have RGB just because the RGB ram was actually cheaper at the time I bought it...(ddr4 was crazy expensive in 2018)
5
It’s the craziest thing. I just bought 32GB of DDR4 3200 ram and the RGB ram was cheaper. So bizarre.
3
Yeah i paid 170€ (around 200 USD) on 16 GB of 3000 mhz ram in may 2018. bought a 32gb 3600 trident z kit for the same price a couple months ago

Its gonna be amusing when nobody does RGB anymore and all the posts turn into anti-blackout.

I'll keep my black on black nzxt case with a single dim white light on my strix mobo. Simple and sweet.

If my neighbors dont think I'm holding an illegal rave cause of my RGB I've failed.

Is there a way to do it without RGB? I'm confused.
4
I always skip RGB

So how do you like your Xbox?

It's a RGB built. Inevitably I'm gonna have to have some RGB with the new build I'm thinking about.

ikr. It's actually easier to get components w/ RGB than w/o recently (availability wise). You don't have to want RGB to get RGB these days.
Budgeting for RGB was probably true 5 years ago. Now it's just there. :\

I wish I could turn off all the RGB. These damn rainbows glowing all over my PC are a waste on my PSU. Sadly even though I can turn most of it off my favorite keyboard I've ever had lights up rainbow instead of one color which is just damn stupid. I can turn that off easy but the only thing I want to follow on my entire PC is the keyboard.

I think you need to cut some wires or desolder RGB diodes.

More rgb = More performance

RGB strips are so cheap to get off of eBay, whether you get 5050 non-addressable or WS2812B addressable.
Fans on the other hand...

Hard to care about framerate if your eyes are fixated on your RGB

It's starting to cost extra to not have rgb.
2
Hot take: RGB components don't cost anymore than non-RGB components.

2000s decade be like: "put flame stickers to make it fast" 2020s be like: "nah fam, rgb makes things blazing fast"

A year of saving up and a pc? 5 years of saving up would barely cut it for me, granted i don’t live in the US

I didn't set out to have any RGB on my new desktop but my motherboard and keyboard ended up having it...

Build for those curious

Why'd you go with such an expensive mobo? Is there some specific feature you needed? You probably could have gone without rgb with a cheap mobo after all.

Who needs components? I get all my frames from RGB
I just bought a bunch of red, green, and blue christmas tree lights and tried to plug it in to my monitor and it didn't do anything. Is there an adapter I need?
You need an Arduino, that will get them working.
the RGB controller is also a processor, no need to buy another one
