Does anyone else wish that RGB would just die?

[Grim5]

You almost have no choice now, most high end hardware has built in RGB and you can't even disable it without installing bloatware

It's not easy to build a top of the line system and avoid any components with RGB. The hardest components to deal with is motherboards and RAM because almost all top of the line boards and memory kits have built in RGB

It's actually easier to just use a closed case, use a pc case that has no windows then you won't have to see the RGB

Silverstone FLP01 & FLP02

 

[Haggisman]

That's a whole other problem, the lack of cases without windows

That's why I installed Bazzite on mine...

Badum-tsh (sorry )

RGB is for suckers. Proper gangsters use cold cathodes.

Amateur, what you need is a couple of tallow candles with stained glass in front of them.

On a totally unrelated note, I still need to figure out why my GPU keeps overheating...

Serious response - I don't mind it, like everything else, when done tastefully it can look good, a few carefully placed lights/bars in carefully selected colours - great. A tsunami of unicorn vomit covering every possible component and surface - no thanks!

I think you've head the nail there, it's 'tastefully' done otherwise you end up in a very strange place.

I don't mind RGB as long as there is an option to turn it off.
I understand some want these flashing lights nut I do not.

 

[Zeebedy]

New PC on Monday. First thing I done was turn the RGB fans off.

 

[Ayahuasca]

Not my cuppa tea but it's easy enough to avoid it or turn it off.

Whilst ordering some coffee related stuffs on Ali-X I happened to see a RGB AIO sleeve kit which obviously I immediately bought.
It’s so beautiful/hideous I’m not sure I should post a pic on here as it may send some over the edge.

 

[Armadillo]

I don't like it either. I have a solid side panel so I don't have to see it or deal with it. I had to buy my solid side panel separately though, Corsair only offered it with a window (750d airflow).

 

[DD_Crash]

You could have spray painted the panel

 

[Paracelsus]

If you mean coloured fans etc in general then no, I love it.

If you mean RGB as in the whole colour wheel at once, I've always thought that looked crap and it surprises me how many have it.

 

[Threepwood]

nearing 50 and love them myself too. i blame a few too many 'disco biscuits' during my youth!

Aye, me too, still dismayed at the time after after Leah betts died and there was a wee crackdown on E, meaning that suddenly in what were all these nice nightclubs where everyone was pilled up and getting along, was suddenly filled with people who were only interested in getting drunk, and being *****!,

 

[Mattyjw]

I just want a quiet unobtrusive system, I am very function over form.

 

[clone]

Rgb is life I bath in it's glow.

This is the way

 

[Tealc]

I quite liked coloured LEDs before they became super popular and would spend time adding LEDs to fans and my case but have never bothered with actual built in RGB even though my motherboard and CPU heatsink and fan has the features.

 

[dfour]

No way, rainbow vomit all the way

I don't mind RGB, What is frustrating though is the software a lot of them provide to control it, None ever seem to be fully polished or work 100% all the time.

Then you got 3rd party software which generally, Do work much better BUT cannot detect certain products.

Even after all this time RGB has been rife in the market, Still nobody seems to have come up with absolutely solid software to control it!

 

[WantoN]

I don't mind it, just wish it was more unified. All my lighting is white or off anyway, and I prefer AquaSuite to the host of other proprietary garbage out there.

I just ignore its existence for the most part.

It's in the consumer's interest, but not in the manufacturers interest to have a unified system.

This way once you've bought into the ecosystem you can't leave it unless you overhaul the whole hardware = nearly guaranteed future sales.
Probably why no such solution exists (I know open rgb and signal RGB, but these are still pretty cumbersome and don't always work).
