Do you support RGB?

Hey! Do you support RGB in PCs? Just getting a baseline for a project.

 

Thanks new found friends,

RGB is a terrible life choice which will frighten children and bruise fruit.

[Jurrunio]

I don't care about RGB LEDs. I do turn them on if I have them so I can see if the system's turned on or not, but otherwise I have no use for it..

[KarathKasun]

RGB is fine if you need to customize lighting to match a theme.  Just having it to run in rainbow mode is lame AF.

[jonrosalia]

I would be sad without my Logitech g502 now that I'm used to it and I wouldn't say no to a keyboard backlight is a must might as well be able to change the color. im a fan of small cases and rbg inside usually won't be seen anyway other than through vents.

I like it when it's done in a tasteful manner rather than just slapped together in a chaotic light show.

Not fond of the rainbow vomit style? I get it.

If the rest of the PC ain't pastel blue, then I don't even know what it's trying to do

Totally. RGB is nonsense, but R, G, and B is beautiful

On a serious note, tho, RGB is best when properly sync'd throughout devices. Tho there's the compatibility issue. For example razer devices will only sync up with other razer devices. So if you got an RGB mobo, gpu, case fans etc, they'll be running their own little theme by themselves which is unfair. RGB should be universal. Not every brand can sync up with aura sync, rgb fusion and the others. But if you're building your shit yet you can easily look up if your components can sync up with each other and that's when shit becomes artistic-like

Yeah, that's the annoying thing! after going M22, H500i, and other stuff, I had to get all other NZXT stuff to get it to sync up

"Do you think RGB is a bottleneck"

what does this mean....?

 

To all RGB lovers: you do not need a monitor for your PC

 

 I dont mind if it comes in free, But I will switch it to one static colour anyway.

it was fun getting all parts at a one single colour theme at no further cost.

[LukeLinusFanFic]

I like it as an option, although frankly, it's super annoying and distracting when you play in the dark. My go to design is a professional looking case with a window to GAMERy goodness

 

I also like the extra fps

Can't that be fix through profiles? Use one in daylight and another one in nighttime that you find appropriate. But i agree, it is distracting sometimes. I am currently using my new keyboard while the parts of my new rig arrives and as the only thing currently capable of RGBing, it stands the fuck out.

I always use my PC in the dark. Eventually my solution has been to set my keyboard to RGB respond to keystrokes, which is perfect.

Well as a 15-year-old who likes Hypebeast products, I went full white (as little black as possible but some had to be) with RGB... However, none of it matches except my corsair peripherals w/ my RAM. So it's a chaotic beauty.

Better get Gamer Glasses B)

They actually work though. I'd recommend them very much.

[DotoreN]

I find RGB really annoying, I have it turned off on my mouse and keyboard aswell. I find it distracting and not adding anything, I want to game and watch my shows in peace.

Agree. That was the theme for my PC. W and B with RGB. I tried to make it match with the NZXT CAM software

[myselfolli]

I really enojy it, I have all my peripherals and LEDs in my rig synced to the same colors, and they all fade colors slowly.

 

I agree, RGB rainbow pukeshows are just lame and kinda disgusting, but it can be done in a tasteful manner...

Yep. RGB isn't great as unicorn puke. It's nice when synced. Only problem is, going all one brand can really bring the price up...

Yup, tell me about it

[cluelessgenius]

love the idea but people use it wrong. RGB to me give you the ability to choose your own color scheme and make it fit into whatever design you chose.

 

but people just leave in the "rainbow puke" setting and yes that i find ugly as hell. RGB doesnt have to mean epilepsy inducing rainbow colors cirulating everything.

 

imo it should be used to more intelligently. for example i like the idea of some sort of effet on temperature changes or other system health data.

also i still wanna try to implement some sort of very selective screen capture where you can configure it to change your desk led light color according to wether or not your health/shilds are low and stuff like that i think would be fun.

 

also im annoyed as hell that my asus board does seem to remember my settings and go straight to orange when the system turns on but the Gskill ram goes to default rainbow puke until windows and i guess asus aura is loaded before changing to the set color

Thats because the MB stores your profiles in the RGB controller.  The RAM does not, because it does not have NVRAM like the MB or because the software does not program it.

well yeah im not wondering why. just saying its annoying. little something to do better with the next revision.

 

@KarathKasun also they couldve deafulted to having it off until loaded. wouldve been a way better solution to me than unicorn farts

jesus. then why not say that. i was confused af. 

 

and no unless you cram your so full of high power leds that it raises the ir temperature inside the case significantly (which coinsidentally i plan on doing but that another topic) then i dont think that but of lighting the manufacturers put on there will impact performance

Yeah. I feel bad now that I didn't say it at first.
