Pretty much every single part of a computer can nowadays be bought with RGB lightning either on, or in it.
And not everybody thinks that it is necessary -me for instance.
But the last and greatest of AMD's Socket AM4 chipsets -the X570- has brought a change in the portfolio of motherboard makers:
no longer is it that only the low-end boards are devoid of carnival lights, some selected high-end boards get the 'sans lights' feature too.
Asrock: as far as you can speak of 'low-end' with X570 chipset boards, there's the ASRock X570M Pro4 (https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/X570M%20Pro4/index.asp#Specification), but there's the far more expensive ASRock X570 Creator (https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/X570%20Creator/index.asp#Specification) too.
ASUS: the 'low-end' Asus Prime X570-P (https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/PRIME-X570-P/specifications/) vs the 'work station' Asus Pro WS X570-ACE (https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Pro-WS-X570-ACE/specifications/)
MSI has the MSI X570-A Pro (https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/X570-A-PRO/Specification) and the MEG X570 Unify (https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/MEG-X570-UNIFY/Specification), rumour has it that out-of-the-box even the MSI MEG X570 Godlike (https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/MEG-X570-GODLIKE/Specification) has no lights of its own...
Gigabyte lastly has the Gigabyte X570 UD (https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/X570-UD-rev-10/sp#sp) as 'low-end' RGB-less X570 board.
