When forced to have rgb components… I disabled them. If nothing else it’s yet another point of failure and extra waste heat.

That’s a gamer, not a software engineer

I mean, I do have RGB lights but it’s not because I’m a software engineer. I’m just a dork.

What’s the point of RGB lights on computers? Does it somehow increase performance or something?

If you have a small child you can distract it with the pretty lights while you are gaming. Or at least thats what I am told.

I had my PC built for me while all i had to do was specify parts, tried to get fans with no light just to avoid this, got the almost exact model but with lights.

Now if i use my PC at night my room glows pink (not for any particular reason besides it being the most dominant in my rainbow led fans)

It’s not even controllable RGB? Just shitty rainbow all the time?

Yeah I hate that it seems now you have to pay a premium to NOT have RGB

I stray away from it as much as possible

Most GPU’s don’t even come without blinking lights anymore.

Can’t you just turn it off?

With some proprietary crashware that runs only on Windows drivers and with 7 background services, yes.
