I always thought USB lights were cool..., for those late night interludes with the PC! :cool:
Thing is, they're not cool though, they get really warm!!! :dizzy:

Been using the light bar version for a few years now. It adjusts automatically to lighting conditions. You can also change the color temp.

Joining Eleven, after many years of reading thru its pages quite a lot.
Best to start with this, the PC and setup. For Work & Gaming. Got 2 more laptops around me.
Went for a SFX setup open air, for max Cool & Quiet setup. Only the cheap TeamGroup SSd makes some noise but it`s not in use outside of gaming when Gpu Fans ramp up. Otherwise it`s as quiet as a cemetery.
Watering the plant is dangerous though so I take it aside for the op:) .
All the best to you all!

I can't have any lighting on the screen, because it will reflect off of the coating of the Alienware AW3423DWF OLED.

It's adjustable. You can rotate it away from the screen.

I just did an entire software revision overhall:

This February, the Western Digital Black SN850 1 TB was wiped and I installed 23H2 on the 2nd.

Now I have:

Windows 11 23H2

Adrenalin 24.1.1

Unlike posts on the internet, I don't have the "Adrenalin unexpected failure" bug on every boot.

Already 2 Alienware AW3423DWF firmware updates this month, LOL.

I suspect that Adrenalin issue, is because of hybrid-sleep actually causing Windows to not be shut down properly. I ran
Code: 
powercfg /H off
and I still have yet to see Windows report an error in the event log about Windows being rebooted unexpectedly.

I've not shown a build in a long time and did one in late 2021, and another in 2023 so thought I'd show some pics; they are non-identical twins being built in the same case (Fractal Design Meshify 2) and on the same motherboard (Asus Z590-A Gaming WIFI) and with the same CPU (Intel i7 10700K). Other components differ.

I've not shown a build in a long time and did one in late 2021, and another in 2023 so thought I'd show some pics; they are non-identical twins being built in the same case (Fractal Design Meshify 2) and on the same motherboard (Asus Z590-A Gaming WIFI) and with the same CPU (Intel i7 10700K). Other components differ.

2021 build:

That's a very nice build very similar to one I had. Still using the case - great case. Good cabling.

Below is a 10900k with Asus ROG 2070 super.
I am now using newer components. I need to take some new images and post them. Now have EK Nucleus 360 AIO and a Asus ROG 4070 TI amongst other upgrades. Same case.

That's a nice build you have there as well. I looked at a Lian Li before building the second one but then I like the Meshify so well decided to just get another which made the cable management easy just copying what I did in the first.

Could do with a dusting!

That pic was taken, right after a major cleaning.
I bought that case in 2008 or 2009. Now, in 2024, it's only gonna get so clean.
Some of the dirt is... baked in by now. :D



And yes, the bottom fan is doing something.
I did smoke tests when I was setting up the fans, 15 years ago.
Below, is pretty much how the air flows in my case...

NOTE: The large front intake and the two large top exhausts are 230mm fans (110 cfm each).
All the rest are 120mm fans. Somewhere around 70-80 cfm each.
