At least they are upfront about it.
I don't see the point though even for a gaming setup, as the fake modules will still reduce airflow.
Also, gaming boards usually have 4 slots (in 2 banks). I would fill at least 2, so I'd rather have a matched kit of 2 modules, and 2 separate fillers, if I did use them.
It is quite common to leave 2 memory slots empty (of RAM) because many boards can't drive the memory at top speed if you use all 4 slots.

- amarant 8mo agoLol same, it's blinking away in a case with no window, so at least I don't have to see it!
- wolvoleo 8mo agoI like it. I don't actually do it myself, the only lights in my case are the ones on my 4090 FE (just white ones, the FE are very understated designs). But I don't really mind it either. I like cyberpunk aesthetics. I do often dress myself up with RGB lights however :)
