I would be happy if this became a trend across all motherboard makers. Lower price while maintaining the important features where the predominant loss is RGB/heatsink mass.
Yeah, I'm not sure we're in the minority on this one. The most attractive thing about this board is the LACK of RGB BS and otherwise unnecessary features - the definition of Lite on full display here. Seems like an excellent board if it's equal in performance to the regular Taichi
Since opinions have been offered, I'll say that I personally prefer onboard RGB to the silkscreened and painted design language here. Way more customizable to one's taste, including off.
I'd prefer no RGB and no painted designs. A subdued company logo in white paint on a green PCB is totally acceptable. Functionality is FAR more important than form and though this particular Lite thing is a step in the right direction, it doesn't go far enough at trimming out the cost of unnecessary goo-gaws and coverings.
Same here, and unfortunately you really can't escape the painting even on boards with screens and RGB so at this point I'll just take the lower prices for same important features.

yeah, but if you keep ARGB off, you're just paying extra for a useless feature.And these boards are not $1~5 cheaper, they are $50 cheaper
