I love how customizable it is, and what games and other applications can do with it.
 
For example, if you allow it to, Civ VI can change your RGB lighting color while you're playing.  Most of the time, it matches the theme color of your civ.  It turned your lights red during war and (maybe) gold during a golden age.
 
The default rainbow barf is overwhelming and usually looks stupid imo.

If I was going to get a build with rgb, it would be a static color with low brightness just to create a theme for my build and not for rgb rainbow barf. 

Imo RGB is awesome because of the ease of customization.  Some people will want the rainbow vomit, but for those that don't they can choose a solid colour, have it switch between several, or turn the lights off.  Very few people will go to the trouble of painting or customizing their PC in a more permanent way, but with RGB almost anyone can have some easy personalization.

I have it. Didn't really go out of my way to get it, but I do have it all set to one color at a time and next time I'm home going to work on dimming it if I can. I'm not against it at all as long as it's not the color changing seizure experience people like. Just like anything else it can be done in a tasteful way. If I feel like having dark blue one day and dark green the next I can without swapping out parts to change a color scheme if that makes sense.

Ha ha ha ha.....HA HA HA HA!

Rainbow barf! That's the phrase I was looking for. 😂

Okay, so now that AMD has given in to popular resentment, can someone explain to me what improvement a Ryzen 4000 CPU is going to bring to my ASRock B450M Pro 4 motherboard should I feel compelled to switch out my 5 3600? 

Would you really want to buy a "new" CPU that has been compromised by the requirement to be compatible with motherboards that are already several years old? AMD has already done this for the B450 with chips like the 5 3600. It has to end at some point or the entire process of evolution is going to suffer. There are plenty of great Ryzen chips that work with the B450 and they will be perfectly adequate for as long as the boards themselves last if you don't overclock them into an early grave. The release of Zen 3 will also drive the prices of these down.
