I’ve never understood the idea of RGB DIMMs. Can they be configured to show useful information about the stick (access, writes, parity errors, bus speed) or is it just for show?
- whalesalad 3y agoJust for show and requires software to configure. Fortunately tools like openRGB exist but I’d prefer off by default or a physical switch. That was a nice element of a resent ASRock Taichi card I picked up - it has a physical switch to turn off RGB.
- scns 3y agoAsRock offers the Taichi Lite mobos without RGB and ~30$ cheaper IIRC. [edit] https://www.anandtech.com/show/18891/asrock-unveils-z790-and-b650e-taichi-lite-motherboards-taichi-goes-lite https://www.anandtech.com/show/18891/asrock-unveils-z790-and...
- Const-me 3y agoI have a theory that hardware vendors are making Christmas tree-inspired products trying to segment the market between gamers and professionals. Gaming hardware is typically pretty good in terms of performance/dollar. However, similar computers without all these LEDs marketed as workstations are more profitable for the manufacturers.
