This is an innovative and unique idea and it represents the pinnacle of technological achievement by the computer industry over the last three years. What you see here is the the result of the most ingenious, forward-thinking engineering of any OEM. G.Skill shatters all of the performance barriers we've come to accept as insurmountable with their new plastic strip. The company's name should change to G.Skillz so the rest of the industry can tremble in its shadow.
I HATE RGB BS with a passione, but these look quite nice in comparison, at least is not plain jane.
They should market these under G.Skillz then whatever other name they want to attach to them, make them a "unique" market and leave the "normal" non RGB ones be named as normal ^.^
They really don't look that bad. It's just that I find myself asking, "Why are things like this coming out of Computex as innovations?" and the answers I can think of are a little bit disappointing.
No interest in LED's, I disabled all that stuff on the system I just built. That said, were I to be into such a thing, this is actually pretty unique and would interest me. Still not going to do it, but kudos to G.Skill for at least trying something different.
THE only use for RGB in my book (as I have it on my motherboard, GPU, and watercooler is to show me visually if anything is overheating.. so I keep it Green for all is good (used to keep it blue) then slowly moves to yellow, then RED if its getting hotter then I like.. SO I don't have to do look at temps and such if I am gaming. and they all work independent.. so if the water is getting over a certain temp OR the CPU the green turns to red.. if the GPU is getting warmer it fades to yellow then red and so on.. (don't have RGB on my ram) as long as the stuff is used like that I have NO problem with the RGB stuff. if its just to put some color into things I could care less.. SO it does have its uses..
I like where you are going. I also wouldn't mind having RGB to help show where to connect cables and if the connection is good etc. Like for example light blue light inside the USB ports, would help find them to plug up to and they could change from light blue to green light once a connection occurs. Or color coded lights for the audio ports to help identify what plugs into what port.
"I was told earlier this year by one company that when they added RGBs to their most popular product, it outsold the non-RGB version 6:1 in the following six months"
Either IQ of the modern geeks goes sharply down, or it is Chinese market.
Fuck RGB! I'll stay with the old basket for as long as I need it, and I do not want to buy a new computer, while any component still has a RGB backlight

My god, making LED's useful for diagnostics rather than decorative? What is wrong with you man?? :pDoc Rob - Thursday, June 14, 2018 - link
OH forgot the RGB on the motherboard other then maybe looks is pointless.. it does not change with the temps like my CPU and CPU coolers do.peevee - Thursday, June 14, 2018 - link
