So I bought a Gskill Turbulence. At around $10. I was wondering if I can remove the blue leds in the fan. Blue led is not really fit inside my case. 


If you were wondering why i bought it in the first place, my ram kit is color blue. But my overall theme is black and red. Dumb me. Haha

I think they are LED's are glued in place so you would have to cut the wires I think.

By doing so, it will not affect the RPM of the fans? Or do something nasty to the fans?

You don't want to cut the wires that you connect to a fan header but the wires that connect the LED's.

Ok. So no harm done. I'll try tweaking it later.
