@thomasdarby6084 4 роки тому
@@RickMyBalls No, it's not just an "off switch." Yes I can turn it off. But I prefer an all-black theme, with a bit of gray or chrome. 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.
@thomasdarby6084 4 роки тому
@Kareem Boukari Who said I'd lose airflow? I removed RGB fans, put in new BeQuiet fans with black blades and no white RGB blades. 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.
@thomasdarby6084 4 роки тому
@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.
@fletchersmith1064 3 роки тому
I chose to keep it simple for my first RGB project. I went with Corsair Vengeance Pro RAM, Corsair LL120 Series Case fans & the Corsair H100i V2 AIO 240 water cooler. 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.

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.
@Gwal 4 роки тому
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.
@usoppbarbosa981 4 роки тому
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).
@wrenchviking8527 4 роки тому
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.

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.

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.

Fear not, my friend! 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.
@rynolin342 4 роки тому
@@williamtael8379 This is good information. I wish it was more clear that mystic light in it's standalone is outdated. I didn't download dragon center initially because I only cared about the lighting aspect, but if it has a fix for the ram bug that's awesome. Thanks man.

Just got an aquacomputer farbwerk 360 for my foray in to RGB lighting. I think if I were looking for a separate controller, that would be the one I'd choose. Their software looks amazing.
@LevvyKlister 4 роки тому
I like cooler master approach, plug everything to the controller I got from the 360 aio then plug that into the mobo (I got an Asus), then everything is controlled by the Aura Sync... et voila! Everything is synced up!

@alexr.8397 4 роки тому
I highly recommend the Aquacomputer farbwerk360 ARGB controller. You can individually control up to 360 rgb LEDs and their software is fantastic. They have their own connector style but do sell adapters for a 5v rgb header connector.

Thanks for the tips, as of right now I am in the process of straightening out my horror show of RGB setup in my pc and its been quite difficult. I have 6 fans currently top and front of pc both are from Thermaltake the pure 12 and pure 14 models and so far I have finally made them work with Armory Crate garbage software, but I cannot control speed of its RGB LED's only through Thermaltake's small controller which I have to re-plug clearly as no other online software deals with fan speeds of RGB lighting. I also am in the process of adding an led strip as when I upgraded my CPU cooler from Deepcool 240 EX RGB to NZXT Kraken 240 Elite non - RGB, I don't have an RGB strip included like I did with Deepcool cooler. So your recommendation get the phanteks neon led strip one? I dig it its look really beautiful than the regular standard RGB strip but is it installed by 3M tape or magnetic? My whole case I guess is metal I think as I have Thermaltake 71 View Snow Edition all glass panels top, front and back. Does this neon phanteks one also use 5v 3 pin or 12 v connector as I am using ASUS ROG B 550 - F with wifi board and in the process of also adding a fan rgb splitter hub as I only have 1 5v 3 pin rgb port and one 12v port on my board.

5 months late, but glad I found this, because I definitely want to add some good RGB to my case that seems a little dark with only the G.skill TridentZ RGB dimms, and the Asus Crosshair VI Hero motherboard lighting it up, and with this custom loop it feels like a waste to say we can't fully see it in the dark

Nice video mate, My motherboard is prime z390 p, what socket in my motherboard should I use for phantec neon M1 light? RGB or normal chasis fan socket? I am not sure how many pin in my motherboard rgb header, My pc case is Raijintech Paean, its a open case , my friend helped me to build the new pc

I plan on building a new system for myself very soon and I definitely kept in mind about how many RGB software I use. Right now this is my plan. Keyboard and mouse - Razer PC Fans / CPU AIO - NZXT Motherboard / GPU / RAM - ASUS Aura Trying to keep it as simple as possible. Hopefully it all works out in my favor :)
@Khabaal87 3 роки тому
I handled the compatibility problem by setting up each software (ASUS, Gigabyte & NZXT) after another, always deinstalled each software after setup. I can't change the colors on the fly now, but everything boots up perfectly with the right colors and effects, no errors or crashes and no "bloatware" installed on my system. If you know what your rig should look like, thats the easiest approach imho...
