I still don’t see the appeal of RGB in your computer, personally. I just don’t think it looks good.
I don’t mind RGB as long as it’s easy to turn off and it stays off forever.
What I do mind is that my desktop turned on the RGB is off, but as soon as I shut it down it turns on. And guess what’s at the perfect angle to get blasted with the light? My bed. I eventually found the SEPARATE TOGGLE FOR RGB IN S5 STATE, but guess what constantly gets turned back on with every bios update?
My fucking RGB is hardwired, meaning I can’t turn it off because it doesn’t communicate with the motherboard. I did not ask for nor pay for this, it was an “add on” that Cyber Power tossed in for free…I hate it so much.
Preach. I don’t even have a window on mine. I want my machine to blend into the room. All the showy stuff feels like you need to show off to justify the price.
The only RGB I have is a tiny module in my mouse’s scroll wheel, and that’s it. I didnt realise the mouse had that module when I bought it and I was quite irritated because of that but I’ve grown to actually like it.
On another note, I’m using an old keyboard that’s basically at death’s door because it seems like it’s literally IMPOSSIBLE to find a good keyboard without RGB in it. It’s insane.
It’s a cancer on humanity. Nowadays you have to pay extra if you want for example a keyboard without the pointless rainbow lights.
A cancer on humanity? That’s a bit dramatic.
You know you don’t have to have it dancing in rainbow patterns right? You can choose any color you like and even have it be static. I have most of my keys in blue, with the function and numpad in a soft white. This is a relaxing layout for me that helps me focus. But if you hate it so much, simply turn the lights off, that was always an option. Plus I think you are overreacting a bit, there are plenty of good keyboards out there without rgb that don’t cost much.
I’m in the same boat, wasted of time and money. I want a black box that is functional, not a night light with all the colors.
I did full RGB/water cooling (AIO)
One of the fans went wonky and the wiring is a nightmare. RMA’d the unit, bought a bunch of black high-end 120mm fans, black d15 cooler, black (faster) RAM, and a 1000w PSU. The wiring is SO MUCH CLEANER in the back, the machine is completely silent, and no more wonky flashing fan. I can’t even tell when it’s on. I love it.
Wiring? You mean you don’t just shove the components in there and make sure fans and airflow aren’t affected and go?
Am I the only one who doesn’t cable management at all?
