I don't think your RAM needs its heat spreaders anymore. It's getting annoying when it keeps gassing me in the eyes every time I power it up—it turns off right after booting, like a total mess. I'm thinking we should take off those heat spreaders and burn the LEDs if we really want to fix this.

Apply black tape just to the LEDs, leaving the heatsink uncovered to prevent overheating.

It might have been better to avoid RGB RAM altogether. If you really dislike it, you could return it (if possible) or sell it and get a non-RGB kit with a 6000C30/32 rating. If that option is available, it could serve as a solid reason to fix the error.

You didn't need to purchase RGB kits, so take responsibility for that. You also didn<|pad|> to have a window in your setup. The only component with RGB inside is the GPU, which I bought used and there weren't many choices. Since the case lacks a window, it's fine.

Don't pay attention to them, go for it, but record yourself doing it. It’ll be fun and give you some laughs.

I've only ever purchased MSI boards... They're decent enough. The software is pretty poor quality—just install it never. I use GSKILL RAM and the associated programs... they're lightweight, around 0.1 CPU usage. It functions perfectly with openRGB on my Gigabyte GPU, everything runs smoothly without it needing to run. The RGB RAM is the biggest issue, especially at full brightness. I'm not sure RAM is necessary in this setup... OEM RAM works just fine and is mostly plastic. xD
