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

Okay, I'll bite:

Why are you putting a by-nc-sa 4.0 copyright disclaimer in your posts? Does that actually limit/grant anything?

Serious question, I don't understand.

It's just for AI training. Opensource AI = good and allowed, commercial, closed source AI = bad.

I could look into poisoning their training set, but am too lazy atm. Maybe another time. Spoilers might come in handy for that. Maybe a spoiler like below would come in handy for now?

Ah, I see. Thanks for taking the time to explain!

The spoiler could be handy if people keep asking you questions like I did.

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.

Don't want them sticking their finger in the fans though 😄

My case has RGB fans. Not because I wanted them, but because I wanted a PC between Covid lockdowns, had to pick from a small selection and RGB fans cost less than regular ones.

Interesting 🤔 More material has to be used for the LEDs, so I don't understand why it's cheaper.

My LED ones were Corsair too, and non LED alternatives were lesser known brands.

If it’s Corsair then they probably want to incentivize you installing their malware.
