250W in lightning? Does your system need to be installed in a lighthouse and be visible from miles away???
For reference this literal lighthouse light only draws up to 200W: https://www.sealite.com/lighthouse-led-lights/
This would actually be really funny. I want my computer to glow like the sun
Mother of Board will you LOOK at the fucking HEAT SINK!?
Clan Ghost Bear is angry we stole their tech
I'd rather go with Clan Wolf tech
100w of RGB LEDs isn't that much, normal RGB lighting is almost as efficient as fluorescent lights.
What? The leds that go in the bulb sockets take 3W so the RGB ones going into the case probably take like 1.5 to 2W. RGB led strips seem to take 8W per meter. We're talking about 5m of led strips and 25 individual lights and still not hitting 100W.
I don't put RGB in my cases so I don't know what the trend is. If it's to turn your PC into a Christmas tree then I can understand 100W not being enough.
I have been meaning to put a service light^[to be turned on when I open the case and look at stuff inside] in my case. Just finding it a bit difficult to set it up in such way that it lights up the components properly, while not letting it directly flash my eyes.
I Motherboard RGB seems to be absolutely useless in that regard.
I mostly know how ineffecint they are from trying to illuminate a room with 5v rgb strip lights.
LED is at leasr twice as efficient as fluorescent.
