    I wonder, what is easier: Convincing data centre operators to not worry about the power draw and airflow impact of those LEDs on the fans, or convincing gamers that LEDs don’t make things faster?

    Maybe a bold strategy is in order: Buy cooling assemblies exclusively from Noctua, and exclusively in beige/brown.

      Data centers don’t give a shit if your GPU has LEDs. Compared to the rest of the server, the power draw is nearly insignificant. And servers push enough air that imperfect flow doesn’t matter.
