Would you Buy RGB Fans?

[Komshija]

Absolutely not. I'm not a fan nor a member of hyped all-and-everywhere RGB mania. I'm OK with small, decent RGB lighting, but not too much of them and definitely not on every tech-related stuff.

Omg I spent like £70 on corsair RGB fans when i voted "yes" in this poll but now I changed my PC to a window-less "stealth" theme with Fractal Design Core 1000 no RGB at all. And honestly i prefer the aethstetic of not having a window and shiny LED's going "oooh look at me!!". My PC has nothing to prove. It just sits behind my monitor looking like any other office PC... It knows it's a cut above an office PC, but it doesn't need to flaunt.

*Next week I'll probably re-build it with all of the RGB ever, because I'm the dictionary definition of "Fickle" and "Impulsive".

so far my motherboard , monobock and memory are RGB'd so i got 3x 120LL corsair RGBs ,they're very tweaky.

ALL dimmed and red besides the memory which i cant get out of rainbow trout mode ,I Like it though.

 

[BarbaricSoul]

As long as you like it, that's all the matters.

Me personally, I think my motherboard and modem has too many lights. I want complete darkness in my room when I turn the lights off.

In my next trip to the UK, I'll be getting a Corsair H100i RGB Platinum to replace my ageing H100i.
Looks pretty cool from where I'm looking.

My thinking is lighting should be use to enhance the build, not be the focus of it.

<------- well, more words are probably not needed

 

[Jetster]

No but I was given some

Late to the party again. I have LED fans, but single color(red) currently in my system. I've tried out RGB fans but the novelty wears of quickly and sold them.

I am more than happy with the RGB Lian Li Bora i got, since i bought it i am running Static White color my favorite one.

Most people who have everything decked out in RGB are probably single- no wife or girlfriend would ever allow that. Within a month of my girlfriend moving in, she asked if I could do something about all of those bright lights coming from my PC (as well as fan noise). True story.

RGB and bright lights are good when you are in your 20s and single, but when you get older they lose their appeal- especially if it annoys the girlfriend / wife. I also find it a giant distraction when I'm gaming... all I want illumited is my mouse and keyboard- anything else is overkill.

Completely false. I'm 40 and I want more RGB in my life. It's the exact opposite... the older you get, the more fancy useless stuff you want in your life, because probably you've already experienced the "plain and boring things"

- especially if it annoys the girlfriend / wife.

Super simple solution: Use the PC in a different room in the house ;-)

p.s.
I'm in the Netherlands, what I said maybe this doesn't apply to the rest of the world...

I have one PC that has 8 RGB 120mm fans in it. (It's a Rosewill Cullinan Chassis) It has one controller for all of them and I usually turn them off after a short while.
I have another RBG chassis to use, but I may get rid of it and buy a Non-RBG chassis instead.
Neither of the RGB frames has spots for a DVD burner and I really miss having that.

One theme at a time for this guy. I don't like a fiddly rig. Set it and forget it is my MO.

And the farmer dragged off yet another load... Most of the systems I build that have RGB in them either go to married men or married women. You have no clue what you're talking about.

I was in a mood for RGB fans a while back, just wanted to spruce up my otherwise drab looking case. Bought a number of RGB fans and a Corsair H150i....the LED fans are actually RGB though they look white. They must be cycling thru their various colors, happened to be white when I took the pic. I'd left the Corsair AF140mm fan as it was as it's a powerful air flow fan for venting out warm air from within.

My wife isn't going to tell me what I can have inside of my PC. She wouldn't try to, and I wouldn't go for it either.
I did put a little RGB bling in her office PC and she likes it. It's very understated though.
The ASUS mainboard and one RGB light strip connected to it and tucked away inside, and the Wraith CPU cooler.

rgb pc's remind me of those sex spec cars that ppl liked and then 10 years later realized they were a horrible tacky mess so converted them back.
