Does the LED lights in motherboard, gfx card and mouse generate a lot of extra heat? Was thinking to turn it off since my room is already fairly hot.. Thanks!

You try touch those on your mouse, see how little heat they produce after they're left on for a few hours. It's not even detectable by human skin.

Anything that uses electricity will generate some level of heat. If you are very calculative about how much or little heat it will add to your room, then just disable it. In most cases, it should not add any tangible heat to the atmosphere.

As high as 1-3 celsius, after a few hours, base on my fully desktop side panel 2x30cm LED strip + MB LED + 5xFan LED. Electricity converts to lights and heat energy, those BLINKS BLINKS are hot!

My Mouse no LED, those lasers are negligible. Keyboard LED backlights also negligible but suck the battery dry fast.

I disable all RGB fan lights on my PC, too distracting. Maybe now 1 degree lower in temp :LOL:

Red: Faster, stronger PC performance but hotter.
Green: Eco-mode, saves energy but lower rpm, slower PC performance
Blue: Balance mode. Recommended for daily usage.
Rainbow: You support LGBTQ
Off: Is my PC on?
