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?

    Wasted energy becomes heat. 100%.

    It’s like not liking a car, that has a cosmetic spoiler on it. It actually slows the car down, unless you’re a high performance track car that needs that extra downward pressure. Most spoilers you see are merely cosmetic. Actually hurting car performance.
