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?

    My aio pump was the first component I ever bought that had ARGB, before that it was just a single blue light in my case to let me know my pc was on.

    Now I have my gpu vertically mounted with an aio on it, an ARGB gpu brace and two argb led strips I stuck to my desk (so outside the case). I mostly just keep them on orange. I have no need for them to blink or change colour, even though it could be nice to have them indicate when my cpu overheats.
