Ever since I got them, they have been giving me a lot of issues and I was not able to figure out why. They kept ramping up and down which didn't make any sense because they are all plugged into a controller that controls them through their own software. And I have the software set the Lian Li fans at their lowest setting with manual mode so there really shouldn't be any reason for them to ramp up. Yet they do and it's very random. Personally, I don't mind the noise when I am gaming but when I am working? I want a quiet PC. So I was going to say F it and replace them with 6 Noctua NF-A12x25 sometime this week. But last week, Asus had a sale on their Strix Flare RGB keyboard for $100. It's the lowest price the keyboard has gotten and my Razer keyboard's volume control is broken and I wanted to see how blue switches felt since I have been on Browns for a long time. So I was like, why not. So I got the keyboard, uninstalled the Razer software and have been using it... Since then... My Lian Li fans have been behaving the way they should... Like... What in the actual fuck Razer... There shouldn't be any reason why Razer software should be interacting with Lian Li but I guess somehow they have been?
I suppose my first mistake was getting a Razer keyboard in the first place... |
My biggest gripe with RGB Mice and keyboards, is that they all demand their own propriety software to be installed, just to change the damn colours. I miss those rare M+K's that simple had a switch toggle for what colour you wanted and that was good enough for me, but these days it's software or you're stuck with a glaring rainbow effect, which I hate, because I play RTS/RPG's and my eyes end up getting distracted half the time by the colour cycle shifts (All I want is pure bright white or pure purple).
I have a razer keyboard myself, but the RGB isn't really as bright as I'd like it, even with the software installed, max brightness is a joke, and on top of that, I still have to have the app open just to change the colour, I've got up to 4 Razer processes in task manager and it's still shifting through rainbow cycles, despite me telling it to go for static white...
Apart from that, when it comes to case fans, I honestly don't like RGB for any internal PC component, mostly because I know I won't be looking at the internals of the case (as well as the case panel facing the other direction, meaning I wouldn't see anything at all).
That being said, I can't believe LL fans are giving you that much trouble, especially after I heard nothing but good words from Jay two cents and Linus.
Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see
So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"
