If you can pull off 250 watts of RGB you can grow plants in your PC case
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/
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.
Man, is 20w typical for (maybe a PCIe 5.0) SSD? It would be wild if we ditched moving parts in HDDs and ended up consuming more power
Also RGB doesn’t use anywhere near 250w. Given that LED spotlights are usually around 25-75w, at 250w your PC would be too bright to look at. I have 9 RGB fans, along with a GPU and motherboard with RGB LEDs; the difference between RGB off and RGB on at full brightness is ~10w, measured from the wall.
It’s very likely that OOP is using hyperbole to be funny.
Gaming is a naturally social activity, so its only natural to use as a “monitor” a digital projector with enough power for a small cinema room.
I must be out of touch. What’s RGB in this context?
If your power consumption is actually 250 then go for a 500w PSU. You’ll get better efficiency.
Anandtech (rip) used to be my go-to for PSU efficiency curves.
Better efficiency is only part of it, you’ll also get better longevity on the power supply.
I have a few 1k watt PSUs left over from my bitcoin mining days and all but one of them are still good.
The environment: 😢
