I haven't tried signalrgb, but openrgb is good enough for me. I've set it up (with some plugins and additional .json manual editing) so that my CPU fan is a separate zone that goes green-red according to CPU load, and the rest of the fans have a nice swirling blue-purple color. It was a bit of a pain to actually manage to split it like that, but it works very well and looks beautiful, so ain't touching it any more :)
Do you notice it taking up notibal recourses (cpu mainly). I have signalrgb and I notice it sometimes using more than I want cpu usage wise. Might be because it is doing an audio visualizer. But the temp thing is really cool.... I actually would rather have that.
No, no noticeable resources used in my case, but I also have a pretty new CPU and such.
I am going to switch just to see. I force stoped signalrgb yesterday when playing a game and got 10-20 more fps. It was using almost 10% of my cpu.
