Yes, non-RGB RAM can support RGB.

I saw this when I powered down my PC—it shut everything off completely. The RGB lights were off, the dim white color setting was disabled, and even the non-RGB RAM had a faint glow beneath its heat spreader. I chose non-RGB RAM because it supposedly provides extra power and cooling, which could help with overclocking. Do all Dominator Platinum units come in the same design but with different RGB covers? That would explain why I bought them. I don’t want to open the case or look for answers online, so any advice would be greatly appreciated!
The image seems to resemble an LED rather than RGB. Running the RGB software might help determine the cause. You could try turning it off if possible. I’m not very familiar with RGB settings.
I didn't use the DSLR or anything. The photo is a close-up taken through glass with plastic on it, shot in low light using my phone. It doesn’t appear in any of the lighting settings I normally use (Dragon Center and iCue). I didn’t consider adjusting the color, but I’ll try that. From what I understand, there are no lights on the RAM—just RGB RAM. The reason I thought it was covered by a non-RGB heat spreader is because of the light leak coming from under it.
I think it's white since RGB stands for Red, Blue, and Green LEDs. Rainbow colors appear everywhere! When RGB isn't properly controlled, that's what happens. It's not unusual or surprising for a company to do something like this. Nice catch you made! You might want to reach out to the manufacturer for their perspective. Feel free to share more questions—I'm curious about the details too!
