If we’re building PCs here, i wanna hear your opinions on (A)RGB LEDs. 5V, 12V, single color, addressable. MFing Lights.

What’s your preferred amount? Just a few LED fans? Or some RGB RAM sticks? Maybe just on your CPU cooler? Or a single solitary LED strip?

Maybe you’re like me. Maybe you need more. Maybe your build isn’t complete unless everything is glowing and synced. LED strip, LED fans, CPU cooler, GPU, the works. Why can’t a PC be functional and fun to look at?

Or maybe you want no LEDs at all. Maybe you’re a Noctua fan. Maybe you cringe at the idea of PC components that light up more than absolutely necessary.

So let’s hear it. How much lighting is enough? Is there such a thing as enough, or too much for you?

    How much lighting is enough?

    Definitive answer: As much or as little as the person building the PC wants.

    For me the correct answer is zero.

    For someone else the correct answer is All The Lights!!!

    Both (and everywhere in between) are correct.

    It’s your PC you are building, so do what you want.

      I think this is the correct answer. Everyone should be able to find components that fit their use case. If that means no window panel, no lights, just business? That’s great.

      If that means a pink, red, white, or blue case with lights like a 4th of July show? that’s fine too.

      Thank you for your reasonable answer.
