Is RGB Getting Out of Hand?

[Andrew Storlie]

i think the MSI X99 GODLIKE MB is stupid... not cause of the rgb lights, thats awsome... but why spend the time to put in all the rgb lights and the programming for them... then slap all the red color all over the MB... say i have a blue build and i wanted this for the rgb leds that i can set to blue... well F*** me cause i still have all the freaking red. why not just make it black so the whole idea of RGB to fit your build would ACTUALLY work with any build, and not just a red build... for this MSI i literally think is stupid, worst choice ever

So with the release of the new MSI X99 GODLIKE we have been introduced into a whole new LEVEL of motherboards...and stupidity.

 

It's RGB...

 

RGB is something that most of us like and have come to appreciate when trying to color match our system. It also helps manufacturers sell more of their products as it opens up their product to all of those who are limited to a certain color. But I'm starting to feel as if everyone is taking this feature out of hand. 

 

We have mainly seen RGB on things like CPU Coolers, GPU Coolers (Yes, I know the G1 isn't FULL RGB, but you get the idea) and mostly peripherals. This is mainly because they are the main components for aesthetics. But bringing motherboards into this list may be amazing. Or it may not...Of course, RGB lighting will definitely come with a high premium. The X99 GODLIKE is living proof of this. So this may move buyers away from these boards.

Also, MSI decided it would be a good idea to make a board RGB. Then make the physical color of the board 75% red, what the actual fuq? I honestly think that MSI has done a TERRIBLE job introducing this new feature to the motherboard range and should be quite disappointed. The LEDs on the bored also look horrible and will make the REST of the board look bad (the rest looks good) if set to anything BUT red. Ugh.

 

So what do you think about this new board and just the whole idea of RGB? Do you think there should be RGB on all components eventually, or are you sick of it already?

 

I personally feel like RGB should not be introduced to motherboards. Instead, make more motherboards of more unique colors. MSI for example makes pretty much ONE color of board (besides Krait and MPower ones). Which annoy me when I want to build a system out of that scheme. Asrock also makes just red and blue ones. Asus is pretty much the only brand that has a board for each color.

 

If you don't like RGB, turn it off. It's as simple as that. I think RGB is a good idea. But this is getting a bit out of hand.

I have a theory RGB became popular in support of Gay pride because of the rainbow

That is now part of my biography. Thank you!

RGB is GREAT for color matching. I think they should have 2 colors of motherboards, white and black with full RGB. that way the boards will match almost any build. 

 

I love RGB when done right. because it allows perfect color matching/or when I am bored I can turn em into rainbows.

There is a house that is COVERED in RGB LED strips and during holidays they make the house dance to the music, and sometimes putting the lyrics of the current song on the side of the house. Its amazing, and would love to do it to my house some day.
