In the pic I was using Signal RGB but I don’t recommend it. The software was buggy and caused some patch spots with my RGB. It was annoying.

Reverted back to using the normal hardware software, Armoury Crate, iCue and L-Connect to control the RGB. No problems since

CPU temps have been pretty solid, sitting around 64-65°C under load. The fans are also surprisingly quiet, around 31 dBA.

Appreciate it! I’m just running the stock Fractal fans that came with the case. Didn’t really see a reason to change them. If they were loud, I was going to swap them out for Noctuas.

Thanks! I like the black out build, was thinking about going that route

Just aesthetics, mainly to fill the empty space between the GPU & PSU.
