What can you say? They do their job and do it well.
I have an Asus Maximus Hero XI so I have a motherboard that lights up via the bundled Asus Aura software.
My Corsair RAM and AIO H115i Pro XT cooler use the Corsair iCUE software which has an Asus add-on to link with the motherboard, which it appears to do successfully. I only use the LEDs to indicate the temperature of the components (chip, RAM, memory and the GPU via the motherboard colour) although you can set it to be more interesting in the colour animations.
I bought this 32GB kit to add to the 16GB kit I already had installed so I had all 4 slots populated. The effects are even better but used ICue to show the Dominator colour for temperature and used the other square LEDs for something more interesting.
I then built my son an AMD 5900X based build in January and whilst I managed to obtain the chip, Corsair cooler and Asus X570-E Motherboard, I found real problems sourcing AMD 5000 series compatible RAM from their AMD approved list. Was looking for 3600MHz RAM but there are not many Corsair kits on the approved list with RGB at the moment. 3600MHz RAM was running out everywhere and prices were going stupid so I pulled this 32GB 3200MHz kit out of my Maximus Hero Xi and used it in the AMD build and BOOM, job done. Installed Windows 10 Pro and there hasn't been any issues with this kit set to XMP profile at 3200MHz on the Asus X570-E with a Ryzen 9 5900X, so I'm not sure what all the worry was about all over the net. Granted I'm not overclocking the chip or RAM but it has been stable continuously and it is not even the 'Ryzen Optimised' version.
I've always used Corsair in my builds for over 20 years (AMD and Intel) and never had any problems. Plus it looks great in a windowed case.
