I'm working a new build and I'm on the RGB train. I like pretty colors, whatever, that's me. But I won't sacrifice aesthetics for other conveniences that have already been standardized in the industry.
For example. I'm looking for RGB fans that fit the aesthetics I'm looking for and are ASUS Aura compatible. I found that the Enermax T.B. RGB fans fit the exact aesthetic I'm looking for, and are Aura compatible. Cool! Except wait, PWM--a standard fan control method that's been universal for over a damn decade--is not supported. How difficult would it have been for Enermax to design a single wire to go to a single fan header on the MB for speed control!? I have to imagine that most enthusiasts who are pouring money into aesthetics also want to, I don't know.... control their fans via BIOS fan profiles or via software solutions!
I'm looking for a fan that is RBG, with quality components, aura compatible, and is PWM controllable. How is this so hard to find!? I'm certainly willing to pay for it. Why are there SO MANY options that suck SO BAD.
Cases designed to look like the wet dream of a unicorn have been white-hot in the industry for the better part of a decade now. How are there so many bad solutions!?
