I removed all the RGB fans, the RAM, strip lighting, and some built in to the case and water pumps. The only light I left was a little blue power-on light. I think it looks fantastic. And it did take 12 hours because I had to do some reconfiguring, and finally a repaint of the dayglo-green case. Flashing lights annoy me while gaming... I just want performance, not flash.

I've been assembling high-performance gaming PC's, servers, and media centers for nearly 30 years. I personally find RGB effects distracting me from game play, and none of the new ones I make for clients have it... and that's by THEIR choice. RGB looks nice, but it's like spinning hubcaps on an Escalade... makes a serious machine look like a toy.

    @danny boy My point is, for me, RGB is not "fine" if just confined to the fans alone. I want NO distracting "Light Show" when I'm getting my game on... all the bright lights should be on the screen. The only lights in my latest build are the blue "on" switch, and a set of hidden white strip LED's which I turn on only for servicing. That doesn't mean that my PC is completely dull; it actually has a steampunk look with black surfaces and brass tubes and water-cooling fittings.

I connected it all through the Corsair Lighting Node Pro & Commander Pro. Then I put all of that into a Corsair iCUE 465X RGB Mid-Tower ATX Smart Case(Black). I didn't bother with any RGB strips because in my case less IS more. My system looks like it belongs in a showcase. It's awesome.

So i took all the RGB out and went full non-RGB components. Then i found out about hardware profiles...🤦‍♂️

    I've been using iCUE with an Asus Motherboard. I really appreciate that Asus and Corsair played nice enough so that by downloading a beta plugin you can control the RGB on the motherboard and the addressable header on the motherboard through iCUE. Before that, I used JackNet RGB to try to sync the motherboard and RGB connected to the motherboard with the Corsair Stuff. It was not ideal.

    Same here :) I've ditched JackNet RGB sync now that you can control Asus motherboard RGB from iCue, plus I bought some rgb headers adapters on ebay, to plug Asus aura sync peripherals into Corsair RGB headers! Works great, and everything is controlled from iCue (fans and strips, like the ones from Phanteks, or case rgb strips compatible with Aura Sync)

    My first system with any RGB basically was soft tube watercooled with an LED strip and a breathing effect on the RAM about 5 years ago. My next setup had full on rainbow puke on RAM and fans and NZXT AIO's for CPU and GPU and I didn't even mess about with iCue to orient the fans or syncronise the patterns. I rebuilt the system now with hard tubing and a vaporwave colour scheme, with Lian Li unifans, Corsair Dominator Platinum RAM and an EKWB front mounted distro plate and CPU block, and some white cable extensions for the board and GPU power, and it actually looks amazing. I've manged to tie in the theme with the RGB lighting on my Dygma Raise and Drop Alt keyboards as well, and I'm totally happy with the results. It's been really expensive but well worth it.

    The problem I have is I want the Rgb to actually send some information to you, so you just look in your PC window and don't have to scatter your screen with hardware infos. Aquacomputer with its rgbpx controller is the only one I know so far that can show some systems stats. Like temps or rpm or usage. I want RAM or HDD rgb to show bandwidth or capacity. Fans to run color wheel with rpm synced. Etc

    I bought the Phantek LED frames 5 total and used Artic Cooler Case Fans (White Blades) mounted into a P350X. I used the RGB Header adapter from Phantek to hook into the MSI Mortar B450 motherboard RGB Header and it works well. I could not integrate with the onboard Phantek controller in the P350x case. Overall, love the frames and I used PWN PST Fans that daisy chain together a nice feature from Artic Cooler. Love the RGB advice, yes the ICUE software has come along way with their newer gear really working well and behaving in a civilized manner :).

    I decided to get A-RGB accessories for the versatility and options they provide. I wanted to create the affect of my PC being an aquarium, as though the components were submerged in ocean water. So I set the fans and AIO pump to a nice cyan/teal slow wave pattern and the motherboard and RAM to a slow-breathing red for a nice contrasting pop of color. I even managed to rig up a solution to mimic a subtle version of Cooler Master's 'Mirage' lighting effect on my Deepcool CF120 fans. My only complaint is that the LED's on the Enermax Liqfusion AIO block (I wanted a flow meter, so sue me, lol) aren't super well-diffused to the slow 'water' pattern I have it set to doesn't provide the cleanest effect on the block itself, but the light spill from it onto the rest of the system is exactly what I was looking for. It's a lot of work to get RGB right, but when you figure out the ecosystem and take the time to learn the nuance, you can accomplish some really great things with it.

    I love the halos fan frames ( the cheaper non lux type) However I hate the hotspots that they create on my white Phanteks fans. So I dissembled it and removed the RGB strip inside and used it as a regular RGB strip. Actually works out since its so thin in comparison to other strips, you can fit it in places that regular strips wont.

    I have a long 12V strip around the sides and back of my desk, and one hidden behind a wooden beam above the desk, lighting the white wall and ceiling. The desk and ceiling strips are connected to the motherboard through a RGB repeater with its own power supply, so that i can control the color with iCue (using the ASUS plugin), but the mobo doesn't have to provide power for that, only color information. I usually stick to warm tones, currently orange with some yellow animation. feels cozy, and really easy to manage with only one software for the room and PC.

    Nice video. I mostly use Corsair parts (fans, RGB strips, keyboard, mousepad and headset) with a sidekick of Asus (mainboard, GPU, Phanteks neon strips and Gskill ram). The iCue software is just the best as I can configure so many different profiles, it's insane. There are so many cool lighting settings and themes you can do, I got around 10-12 ice or winter themed setups alone. Sadly the asus aura software is the worst thing I've seen so far, one time it killed itself after trying out the software for the Gskill ram and even after 2 days of trouble shooting would not work. I could only reinstall windows to get it back to work again and now I'm daring to update it. As for backlight I got some philips hue lightbars on the back of my main monitor and some cheap 20 EUR led strips from Amazon that still work fine. I can get a decent white for most parts but I got a really bad gripe with yellow: There is no real goldish yellow possible, either it's more looking like a light green (or lime) or an orange. The worst part however is the GPU (Asus GTX 1070 TI), the white always looks like purple and some other colours are not well met either (light blue, yellow etc).

    I have trident Z royal and a MSI motherboard with lights on the back. I can control my ram with mystic light but the gskill software has more colors and modes. MSI mystic light drives me nuts because every time I open it to change my mobo lights it corrupts the lighting on my ram making it this weird glitch of half illuminated leds that only goes away after like 6 reboots. Corsair is the only one who does a good job with their software and rgb product integration I've never had a problem with my H100i pro xt, RGB fans, or lighting node pro strips.

The new "Dragon Center" program from MSI has now a new version of Mystic Light inside it that now has a cog icon where you can disable the overwriting of ML over other RGB programs. Just click that, keep Dragon Center open on tray bar, open your preferred RGB program and set the RAM RGB to your liking. That's it! Done. Just don't mess up with the performance "scenarios" on Dragon Center, or they will lock your CPU on a certain clock speed or raise the fans speed to max.

    This is great. I have all my parts in to buiild my nerw PC sitting in my dining room waiting for Friday as I work night shift and won't have time until the weekend. I got some of the Phantex Strips for it. In my current PC (2014 build) it has Orange Fans that are Orange only. I don't like it but it was a free hand me down machine from my wife. The only RGB in my current setup is my Keyboard and mouse My plan for the new system is to make sure everything controls with Aura, and for Colour Scheme i am going to match exactly the colours I have set up in my Logitech Software on my Keyboard and mouse. I have a nice vibrant Blue and purple on those with the odd key (macro keys) Highlighted in different colours and I have also used Aurora (Diferent from Aura) to program my F1-F12 + Escape + G6-G9 keys of my G910 to Function as a Clock. Also I used this for the feature I thought was most missing from Logitech's Software that made me search it out in the first place. the ability to have Modifier and lock keys Change the colour of the keys they effect. For example when I press Shift the Alphaneumeric and symbol keys which are normally blue turn amber in colour as long as shift is depressed. Caps lock turns the Alphabet keys and itself Amber, Num Lock turns the number pad and itself Amber Scroll lock turns itself amber and also activates a hidden Second hand built into the above Function Key Clock display.
