Geil's Plans For RGB LED DDR4 RAM

[turkey3_scratch]

Dear lord. Couldn't they instead redesign it as a heat dissipation device. Or, at least use the lights as an indicator if the RAM is not seated or finally dies.

Well, memory really dosent produce all that much heat, at all.
You should know when ram is seated or not, and there are already debug LED codes on motherboards.

This is why I favor LP ram. Sleek, simple, and out of the way.

Tickle me fancied, but either I can't find stuff or the three motherboard I have owned don't have a debug code area. Where would it be? I'm assuming it would be at the rear IO. But I don't see one on my Gigabyte Z97X-uD3H-BK, my MSI H81M-E33, or my Gigabyte H170N-WIFI.

There is a red SPDIF OUT light which I have no clue what it does.

Normally they are located on the motherboard internally, usually in place of a standard single LED (you know, the green one that you dont want to be red).
I personally dont have one, cause Im cheap and have a 75 dollar motherboard.

Hmm I don't have a green LED. My motherboard is $150.

You dont have anything like this near the front panel headers?

Nope. Maybe it's not a Gigabyte thing.

Bah.
Having RGB ram kits that sync with temps would be kinda cool though. One stick for the processor temps, one for GPU. Running 4 sticks shows fan speeds on two of them.

I like how the Asus Strix 1080 can change color based on PC temps, like red = hot, yellow = mild, green = cool. Imagine if we had out entire computer fans, RAM, everything set up like that, so when the computer gets hot, it all glows red, and cool is green.

You mean the HUE+ on smart mode?
That thing can change colors based on CPU temp, GPU temp, or even FPS.

 

[turkey3_scratch]

I mean the LEDs on the GPU.

 

[Gam3r01]

No I know about the GPU, what im saying is the HUE+ can already do the full system lighting.

 

[turkey3_scratch]

Oh no I'm talking about the GPU itself, not the NZXT Hue if that's what you're talking about.

 

[Gam3r01]

Yeah I meant that the HUE+ can manage full system lighting based on criteria similar to the lighting on the GPU.

leds in cases were only cool when the case was themed around the color.
they were also cool when modders got their hands on it and made entire pcs look like pieces of art.

but normal use? what is the point? outside of function i see no point.

Is this an amish people congregation? What's the problem if people who want bling can buy bling? Who does it hurt?

Yes it is, now stop commenting I have to go churn more butter.
