Anyone with a motherboard that has alot of RGBs?
Do you guys have all of your motherboard RGBs on after you shutdown?
I'm curious if I'll notice an increase in my electric bill.

    not enough power to probably measure ...
     
    besides your PC is never really off --> unless you unplug or use the switch on your PSU & unplug everything else that has a wall cord
     
    I like dark mode & not a night light

    I just have my stock ROG Maximus X Hero LEDs on all the time..Doubt it'll increase your electric bill any perceptible amount because LEDs use very little to run.

    Depending on your motherboard, you can probably change that in the bios settings so shutdown turns off all the RGB, as well as power to USB peripherals like mouse and keyboard, particularly if they also have RGB. LED lights use very little power though, so not a big deal. I did read somewhere years ago that even when turned off, many household items still have a low draw on power 24/7 which can add up cumulatively, and if that is true, then I expect a PSU still has some minor draw even when the PC is shutdown. I have got into the habit of turning the power off at the surge protector after shutdown on both my and my Mrs' rigs so there is no power at all running to either rig, more for peace of mind than anything else, but it does seem our power bills on average are perhaps a little lower... perhaps.
