The RGB alone can run Crysis itself.

No but seriously the RGB lighting doesn't bother me, I have it on a slow colour changing setting, I don't mind it.

Hah, Does it run Crysis - the RGB strip edition..

personally I have just blue LED strips and an UV strip, not too overkill IMO... pic of my PC on the previous page.

I have LED rainbow string lights on top of my kitchen cabonets and under them. They can be set to do all kinds of crazy things. But still it doesn't make cooking food any faster. But it does add some special ambience to the kitchen.

Honestly I turned all them fancy lights off. I just find it a distraction and another thing to draw power.

It bothers me that Toms Hardware now includes "No RGB" as a con in their reviews of anything that could contain RGB. What have we come to?

I know right. It's no longer about raw performance but you must also have a MB that has 100+ LED rainbow colored lights. Why?

Ruru · Feb 25, 2020

That isn't a con IMO

I'm not a RGB lover but IMO that feature is a bonus.

What is the bonus?
They do NOTHING for performance they do IN fact take POWER to run ( so much for being as green as you possibly can).
Look you can put lipstick on a pig but it's still a PIG! LOL. I think they dress them up so you will buy them up without even considering the performance.

If you have a windowed case and the lighting isn't an overkill one, then I like it

Hella clean desk, that needs a dual screen setup!

Before this single high refresh lcd, I had 3x 23" 60hz screens. It was awesome. Now if I could just swing the cost of 3x 144hz displays...

I have two 1080p @ 74Hz, works fine for me.

I'm pretty content with what it is now

Nice! What ram is that, also what tubes are those ?!?!!

I might be a little rusty, Trickson.. but I thought you were madly in love with RGB when you built your rig with the D15? Nothing wrong with it if you were. If I had it I would probably use a color or two :laugh:

Just gonna leave this pic here of my ugly ass system.
Currently trying to get it to run stable with 3GHz on 2x Epyc 7551 ES chips...
VRMs are reaching 100 degrees under sustained load so need some fans on them.

As you can see, the zip ties were brought out quite a few times.

Bottom fans aren't spinning as they're directly connected to the GPU, which is in zero RPM mode.

2700x with a GTX 1660 in a Crosshair VII.

Not an uber gaming machine, but it'll do.

Zero RGB.

RGB?

Sorry for the late response mate.

Custom sleeved Alphacool PVC Masterklaer tubing

Crucial Ballistix 3200 CL16 modded with custom heatsinks running at 3800 CL16 1.40v

I'm located in China currently. Due to the corona virus I'm still waiting on my new desk. Trouble with shipping. I'll post my complete mancave when it's in and sorted.

basco · Mar 1, 2020

i like that brutal looking heatsink on your ram !
reminds me of old mushkin redline

nailzer · Mar 3, 2020

Did a little mod for my 1tb SSD nvme drive. With just the heatsync the SSD at idle would stay at 52C. Playing a game with the fans moving air over the heatsync the temps would stay about 46C, until the game was over. I'm using a Noctua 40x20mm fan, mainly because they're quiet. With the fan on the heatsync the temp stays at 39C. The fasteners aren't fancy but for now they work.
