Posted May 29, 2014 I'm doing a black and purple theme for my build. (purple LED fans and purple colored custom waterloop.) I don't like blue LEDs because they tend to be very bright and distracting, purple is much more subtle, and sexy. I plan on using the 4930K as the 5930K isn't out yet, and doesn't seem like a huge performance increase, especially after overclocking, and the 5960X will very likely be out of my price range since I'll be back in school by the time its released. I'd like to have my computer built and complete before money becomes an issue.So far it seems I'll be using the Rampage Extreme Black edition since its the only black 2011 mobo I could find.. even though it has a few red accents.Everything else was either gold or blue.So as far as the 2011 socket goes, is there a less expensive option that fits my color scheme? such as an all black mobo, or a purple mobo? or even a black mobo shield that will hide the mobo regardless of what color it is?I'm not worried about price, obviously since I'm looking at the 4930K and the rampage extreme black edition.. but if I can achieve my goal in less money, it'd be a wonderful option.

Posted May 29, 2014 If the rampage extreme is in your budget, I believe you can change the red led with a little bit of modding, that would be cool to have it purple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
