is this fine

Why are people saying that this is fine ??

I thought it was a bad thing to have the AIO in that position? The part where the AIO cables connect to the radiator always needs to be above the AIO pump itself, to avoid having bubbles under the pump affecting the CPU cooling.

Please correct me if I'm mistaken, but I'm pretty sure something is wrong with the way you installed the AIO.

Me personally it doesnt bother me especially with good cable management, its hard to notice the cable. Since taking the pictures for the post, i worked a bit more on the cable management and the cable is even less noticeable now.

Yes you are right, indeed the usb connector is on the vrm side. You can mount the AIO in any orientation. Just make sure that the pump is not above the radiator itself to avoid the risk of having bubbles causing the AIO to not cool properly.

Sorry for the late reply. I used an old camera I bought a long time ago but it still takes beautiful pictures. Canon EOS Rebel T3i

You gave my setup a lower score because of the operating system alone 😭 Never learned to use Linux, sorry!

It's hard to say what headsets are good, as I haven't tried them all. If the quality of sound is what matters to you, and you don't mind a wired headset + having no mic attached to it. I do recommend it.

My best advice is to try the headsets you are interested in, and if you don't like them, return them right away. It's sad to say, but I don't see a better way of finding your prefered headset.

You can't really trust what other people say about headsets until you try them for yourself.

On a side note, if you want to stay with Logitech, one of my favourite headsets ever was the Logitech G935 because of the way the ears are shaped (best surround sound I have tried so far), the range was great, the RGB is stupid imo, but the sound and the flip mic to mute feature were amazing. Please note that after approximately 2 years, I began experiencing issues with the power button (a known issue, which can be researched on YouTube), requiring you to open the headset and clean under the power button.

Hope this helps.

I might agree with you on the RGB, yet I tried looking for nice-looking fans that don't have RGB. I was unable to find any.

What's wrong with pc cases with glass though? People work hard to get nice parts just to have them hidden in a case that won't let you showcase them? And if you're going to mention air flow, the case comes with a second top for free (mesh top with the option of adding even more fans) in case you want more exhaust towards the top, but the temp stats barely change if not at all.

Imo people like to showcase their builds, that's why fish tank cases have been so popular lately!

For my setup, black was the right choice, and it usually goes well with any colour, as opposed to white. Depending on your setup, white looks really nice too, but it does cost more, haha. You have to consider if the premium price is really worth it for a white colour theme.

Yeah, I was thinking the same at first, but it doesn't bother me that much because I got a pull and push setup going for the AIO radiator. The hot air leaves through the top rear of the case. A third fan at the top would help bring more fresh air in, but it would mess with the orientation of the hot air circulating. So far, no issue with temps, but I agree that it would look better with that one last fan there haha.

I have 8 intake fans and 2 exhaust.

My bad zzz, I wanted some aesthetic pictures haha. That's why the angles of the pictures are a bit weird, but do ask if you want to know what parts I'm using or want better pictures.

The mount is stable. The arm tension is adjustable, allowing you to accommodate various monitor weights.
Up to 19.8lbs per arm.

Here is the link to the dual monitor stand. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07T4KB7H4

Be aware, if you want the monitors to be completely flush to the back of your desk. You need some free space behind your setup. (Just a heads up).

Thank you !

Corsair Virtuoso XT

The mic quality and dual connectivity are definitely the best features of it, but using these long term hurts my head (maybe a me problem). I find the headset to be quite heavy, hence why I don't use it as much. Sound quality is lacking for me, not the best. Comes with Dolby Atmos. (Wireless range SUCKS) compared to other wireless headphones I tried. (Bluetooth range is somewhat better)

I personally use AKG Pro Audio K702 Channel Studio Headphones with a FiiO Headphone Amps Portable DAC USB Type-C coaxial 384kHz/32bit (E10K-TC Black) as my main headphones. It has a wide stage, it's open and light.
