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?

I use signalrgb.com for this exact purpose. You add your devices to a single "canvas" and pick a pattern to play across that canvas and all your parts light up to match that pattern. Libes, swirls, waves, falling leaves, thunder, fire, etc.

It's amazing and i love it and it has great compatibility
