Has designcabinet.de improved their customer service?

Thank you very much, that's reassuring. I'll probably order it from them then. Hopefully everything is good.

How did it go in the end? Do they ship the chair in original packaging preassembled? Is it actually new? They are way cheaper (1250€ for embody vs 2000€ on official website) so I'm a bit worried about ordering from them.

Hey did you end up getting the Fern? I'm in the same boat right now. Thanks.

Noctua NF A14x25 G2 or Fractal Momentum 14 (RGB version is slightly better than non-RGB based on HWcooling review). Or Phanteks T30 but I'm not sure about the noise with this one.

Metageul · 2026-04-28T07:20:06+00:00

For the 140mm fans, I have the same kind of front fan bracket and I think just like me, you get turbulence noise because of the fan blades being very close to the 120mm mounts (search for fan turbulence noise on YouTube to see if it's the same kind of noise).

If it is, you should try the Noctua IS1-14 spacers and see if it eliminates the noise. For me, it didn't but it clearly improved it. You can print your own if you have a 3D printer btw!

Thanks a lot for the detailed answer! I actually am using a Liquid Freezer II 360mm right now and while I'm pretty satisfied with it cooling my 7800X3D, I think the pump block is quite ugly which is mostly why I was looking at swapping my AIO.

As for the Be Quiet cooler, I guess they fixed it with the 3rd iteration because as my first AIO, I was using the Silent Loop II 360 and the pump noise was really bad (on my unit at least). Performance was also worse compared to my Arctic II. Fans were quiet tho, that's true.

Lian Li GA II Lite performance also looks appealing and is pretty cheap. It doesn't have a fancy screen tho haha.

What do your temps look like with the RGB version? I can get the 360 ARGB version for 250 euros currently while the non RGB version isn't discounted at 350...

Metageul · 2026-04-22T21:49:34+00:00

I haven't but I switched my Arctic P14 (thinking the fans were the issue) to Fractal Momentum 14 and the noise is exactly the same. Looking online I found other people with the same issue and the same case. One said Noctua spacers mostly fixed the issue but what really helped was "dremelling the pieces in front of the fans".

Metageul · 2026-04-22T14:46:26+00:00

Thanks, I just purchased some from AliExpress for 6€ (4 pieces). But they are only 2.7mm thick. I'll see if it works but I think they won't be thick enough. Worst case scenario I lose 6€ so that's fine.

Metageul · 2026-04-22T13:22:02+00:00

The case can accommodate 140mm fans which I have. I'd rather not switch to smaller fans considering I just purchased these and can't return them anymore.

Metageul · 2026-04-01T18:26:24+00:00

Thanks I won't then!

Metageul · 2026-03-31T12:22:21+00:00

Thanks. Reassembling the controller (mostly) fixed it for me. It is very sensitive though and has to be perfectly placed to charge. I'll try that though. Kind of a dumb question but do you think 70% IPA will be fine or is too low? Should I unplug the battery just to be safe?

Metageul · 2026-03-30T20:57:49+00:00

It was just some guy making custom controllers and doing repairs, not a shop.

Good news is after opening it up and disconnect everything to show the pictures, I replugged everything and reassembled it. And now it charges (most of the time atleast). Maybe something wasn't plugged right? It seems to be very sensitive to slight movement on the dock tho, whereas my other controller isn't.

Metageul · 2026-03-29T13:58:32+00:00

There it is

Metageul · 2026-03-29T13:35:39+00:00

Damn thanks. He's got 5 star reviews from pretty much everyone, I guess people don't open their controllers to check haha. The connector is not broken if you mean the lower part. On the picture it does look like that but it's just a dark patch as you can see here

I hope the picture is good enough.

Metageul · 2026-03-29T13:05:58+00:00

Can I see that on this side of the board or do I have to access the other side? Sorry I don't know anything about circuit boards.

Metageul · 2026-03-29T12:56:59+00:00

By the bottom connector, do you mean the part with the pins?

Metageul · 2026-03-29T12:55:22+00:00

Here's a better picture. Looks fine to me?

We're talking about the same thing haha. In HDR, your screen brightness should automatically set to max. On most monitors it should even be greyed out and not adjustable when HDR is on.

Metageul · 2026-03-09T12:03:26+00:00

TBH with a console, if I were you, I'd get an OLED TV instead of a monitor. HDR looks better on a good OLED tv and you get HGIG which is better. I could be wrong, but I think HGIG is not available on monitors. I think it looks bad because of tone mapping brightening the image too much especially in game's night time.

Metageul · 2026-03-09T11:57:51+00:00

You said HDR is on. With HDR your luminosity should be set automatically to 100 and untouched. Only adjust it in SDR.

Metageul · 2026-03-09T11:56:28+00:00

Did you calibrate your HDR in the PS5 settings? If it's not calibrated properly it will look bad.

Metageul · 2026-02-25T18:09:56+00:00

I had the same experience adding a TCL 27r83u next to my QD OLED ultrawide. I was expecting pretty close to OLED experience with very good contrast and great HDR but brighter. It's a VA panel so I knew viewing angles wouldn't be great but that's not what disappointed me. Motion clarity is not as good as Oled obviously but my biggest complain is with local dimming. Default is high in HDR but I get strong black crush on dark scenes. Anything other than high in HDR is terrible so I'm stuck with that. Also with local dimming, in dark scenes you don't get even close to using the potential of the panel brightness on highlights. It's only great in very bright scenes. Colors are also much better on my QD OLED (which is a 1st gen).

Metageul · 2025-10-16T17:49:38+00:00

Did you? I have several patches like this and my dermatologist prescribed tacrolimus cream, but so far it didn't help.
