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?

    I think there’s something called OpenRGB that’s tries to unify all the RGB standards (CAM/Aura/Mystic Light/etc)

      While it can be a little flaky depending upon your individual setup, OpenRGB has been great for my rig. I have a simple mobo/RAM/GPU lighting using 3 different bits of individual software, and OpenRGB is very capable at taking their place. Presets make it even easier to set up your favorite styles. Highly recommend. Oh, and it’s free.
