Why the hell are black motherboards more expensive? Are black PCBs more expensive for some goddamn reason? If not, why aren't they all black since people seem to like them this way?
Basically all cheap-ass motherboards are vomit green. Mine is dark blue-ish since it's mid-range. Apple also uses black PCBs. Is this some kind of bizzare color-coded pecking order?
Note that I haven't bought a mobo for some time. If this changed: how come it changed?

Many board houses charge more for non-green soldermask colors, yes.
But mainly it's because the sort of people who are into looks inside their rig are also wililng to pay for them.
t.ASUS with yellow soldermask

lol no. pic related was over $500. stop paying for meme colors and worry about functionality. I laugh at you plebs paying shit tons of money for motherboards with LEDs and which are in black, rather than getting something actually worth th emoney.

I mean consumer grade, not servers/workstation. I personally don't care about the color, I have no panel on my case and don't give a fuck. I was just curious.

I work in PCB manufacturing and the black mask costs more/takes considerably more time to produce to the point people won't even bother and leave it for the next shift of workers, kek

So I should ask for white mask with a shot of black so the board house knows I'm a real pro?

Sure, if you want your boards delayed by a few days until we decide to make your stupid colors

We recently had a request for 1 black side and 1 green side, the guy coated it in green on one side, sent it to us to expose and wanted us to send it back so they could coat it in black later(when the next shift was in because he was a lazy fuck)

Black motherboards have more short twitch muscles thus run faster

Blacks are just plain superior. Even my wife knows this! Get over it.

Maybe at consumer level but server boards are usually green or blue. Pic related, my Xeon server.
