Man, is 20w typical for (maybe a PCIe 5.0) SSD? It would be wild if we ditched moving parts in HDDs and ended up consuming more power
Also RGB doesn’t use anywhere near 250w. Given that LED spotlights are usually around 25-75w, at 250w your PC would be too bright to look at. I have 9 RGB fans, along with a GPU and motherboard with RGB LEDs; the difference between RGB off and RGB on at full brightness is ~10w, measured from the wall.
Gaming is a naturally social activity, so its only natural to use as a “monitor” a digital projector with enough power for a small cinema room.
Might as well add a laser death ray for good measure
If you can pull off 250 watts of RGB you can grow plants in your PC case
As someone who lives in a legal state, there is no such thing as growing weed stealthily indoors. Your entire house will reek, no matter how many carbon and HEPA filters you use.
250W in lightning? Does your system need to be installed in a lighthouse and be visible from miles away???
For reference this literal lighthouse light only draws up to 200W: https://www.sealite.com/lighthouse-led-lights/
100w of RGB LEDs isn’t that much, normal RGB lighting is almost as efficient as fluorescent lights.
What? The leds that go in the bulb sockets take 3W so the RGB ones going into the case probably take like 1.5 to 2W. RGB led strips seem to take 8W per meter. We’re talking about 5m of led strips and 25 individual lights and still not hitting 100W.
I don’t put RGB in my cases so I don’t know what the trend is. If it’s to turn your PC into a Christmas tree then I can understand 100W not being enough.
I have been meaning to put a service light[1] in my case. Just finding it a bit difficult to set it up in such way that it lights up the components properly, while not letting it directly flash my eyes.
I Motherboard RGB seems to be absolutely useless in that regard.
to be turned on when I open the case and look at stuff inside ↩︎
Mother of Board will you LOOK at the fucking HEAT SINK!?
