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?
I 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.
Just 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.
