    mikey got a reaction from Liquid Cooled Human in K70 RGB dim?   
    I'm not surprised. I think it might have to do with the technology behind RGB led's
     
    If you look at the diodes, you will notice that they usually try to fit RGB diodes on a unit similarly sized as that of a single color. In the end, each color will output significantly less light. Since different colors have different intensities, even the combined output of each LED may be less than a single color unit.
     
    As long as each key has the same brightness, and all the colors are the same, I highly doubt you have a defective unit.

    While the Greens do turn off, you have to consider what the usage of your NAS is. From what you have posted, it seems like it is just a simple media? Red's are rated for continuous use and really shine with greater number of drives due to vibration. 
     
    I have a NAS setup with greens, and from idle to active, there is maybe a 2 second delay, once it is on, it doesn't turn off for a while so continuous seeks are fast. If the drives are not constantly active, you would definitely save power and perhaps prolong the life of the drives.
     
    Also, many NASes will automatically spindown drives anyways to reduce power.

    Update 3:
    Fixed up the 24 pin as best I could, the uneven length sleeved on PSU side, I will just terminate with heatshrink.

     
    First sleeving job, how does that look?

    Update 2:
    Picked up the Seasonic X650 used, the previous owner had tried to peel of the stickers and attempted sleeving.

     
    Time to clean off the sticker residue.
     
     


     
    The sleeving seems to be DarkSide, the quality is pretty good, just the sleeve job was terrible. The lengths were completely off too so it will be impossible to fix both ends. Other option is to re-sleeve completely.
     


     
    Brand new NH-D14 to play with. Build quality is to drool over. Personally, without the fans, it just looks absolutely beautiful. I was worried about it's weight on the CPU socket; however, with it in hand, I feel at ease.
