So I watched the recent video and again got cringed (again) as to why LTT still not aware of this...  
 
We all know that OEM RGB software are hot garbage, even iCUE and Chroma (I can hear the fan boys already running at me), and SignalRGB is a paid hot garbage.
So you are probably asking: But Barak??? if all of them are hot garbage what do I do?!
 
Well all you need is... 
OpenRGB - This will be the driver for the LEDs, it will replace all of the malware OEM software. (it's optional but extremely recommended)   Artemis 2 - This will be the controller, it will set the color of the LEDs (it can also be used with the OEM drivers if the device isn't supported in OpenRGB yet)  
The initial setup is pretty easy, creating profiles is also pretty easy and you can use the pre-made ones from the workshop.  
Why it's so great? because...
It's FREE forever. It's open source and very active. It's fast and lightweight, it mainly uses the GPU so it barely use any CPU unlike almost all RGB software and the GPU usage isn't noticeable. You can calibrate the LEDs to fix miss matching colors between LEDs. You can map the LEDs in physical space.
It's extremely customizable and has so many effects and plugins....
You can even integrate it with AlienFX, Logitech BS, Razer Chroma and some others, it also can use stuff like PC state, power state, inputs and stuff.
It will even support the Windows 11 dynamic lighting soon (Though do we really need that?...) You can even create your own DIY RGB device and control it with this.... It can be combined with Wallpaper Engine via the Chroma integration and it's Fing amazing. And many, many more I'm just too lazy to list them out.  
You probably saying: But Barak??? This sounds amazing but OpenRGB it warned me that it can harm my LEDs!
Sometimes you need to take risks in life nah I'm kidding, Any RGB software even the OEM ones can harm your LEDs it all depends on how you drive the LEDs.
It's mainly boil down to refresh rate, the higher the refresh rate the faster that you'll burn you LEDs, I personally go with 20FPS, up to 45FPS is great and even 120FPS (if you LEDs can even support that) is still somewhat ok.
Some OEM software are killing your LEDs by using high refresh rate or even updating the LEDs when they are already displaying the desired color, so OpenRGB can actually extend the LEDs life span.
There are some issues with specific devices that has a terrible RGB hardware, mainly MSI so if something broke check their discord.
Also the device it self will probably break before the LEDs will burn out...
 
 
So yeah, this is the absolute best solution to the RGB issue and so many people aren't aware of it at all...
Conspiracy theory time: SignalRGB was a sponsor in the past so maybe LTT ignores this solution? who knows, but hi that's just a theory, a PC nerdy theory, thanks for reading. (R.I.P MatPat)
