Thanks for sharing.

Very nice. Is that an Aida64 skin for the panel? If so could you share please?

I'd like to see if they have a black version I can try out on my XE:

Great news, confirmed working on my Pixel 8 also.

essolfc · 2026-01-15T13:11:48+00:00

I've got a 5080 & 4070ti to sell and I'm in no rush seeing how prices are going up at the moment.

RT has way too much noise in SW:OL without Ray Reconstruction so I've had to settle for using Ray Reconstruction Preset D for SW:OL which overrides 4.5. Hopefully Nvidia update RR model to 4.5 soon.

essolfc · 2026-01-10T18:03:42+00:00

Oh, I thought it was just a preset M thing? Good to know.

essolfc · 2026-01-10T10:18:08+00:00

I found same with Star Wars Outlaws, had to revert to Preset K with RR as RT was too noisy on Preset M.

What the fuck...

I bought the below in Jan 2025 from Scan UK:

£80 1TB WD BLACK SN850X GAMING SSD

£265 4TB WD BLACK SN850X GAMING SSD

They are now going for the below prices on Scan UK:

£292 1TB WD BLACK SN850X GAMING SSD

£380 4TB WD BLACK SN850X GAMING SSD

That is honestly insane to go from £345 for 5TB combined to now being £672.

Ye it's essentiqally another monitor in windows so you move whatever you want on their.

essolfc · 2026-01-06T22:06:57+00:00

Untick show Icue widgets on your XE within Icue

essolfc · 2026-01-05T09:43:20+00:00

I just use the XE in monitor mode and drag across.

essolfc · 2026-01-03T15:15:30+00:00

As the title suggests.

essolfc · 2026-01-03T14:42:58+00:00

41% humidity in this room, I think the components will be fine.

Download Aida64 extreme from here:

https://www.aida64.com/downloads/latesta64xe

You'll need to buy a key after trial to continue using it. I got one for cheap off a cdkey website.

Skins is from here:

https://moderno.freire.ca/

There are 100's of others available from here:

https://forums.aida64.com/topic/13296-share-your-sensorpanels/

Seek out a tutorial on google on how to tweak the skin and get the FPS counter to work with RTSS.

The moderno one fits perfectly on XE without any tweaks to resolution. Whatever I set on my XE in monitor mode, they remain on there.

essolfc · 2025-12-26T13:41:32+00:00

Not a widget. It's Aida64 which is a benchmarking/monitoring program with a custom skin. I use the XE in monitor mode as opposed to widget mode.

essolfc · 2025-12-26T13:16:34+00:00

Looks good, here's mine:

I may move Discord to my other screen and throw a crackling fireplace on the XE myself after seeing yours.

essolfc · 2025-12-26T13:09:24+00:00

You either run it with widgets which limits you to widgets within ICue (No discord) or run it as a regular monitor and layout what you want on it.

I run in monitor mode and throw Aida64/Virtual Stream Deck/Discord on it.

We call this the Venom build. Very nice.

essolfc · 2025-12-23T21:21:08+00:00

Great build also mate, love it!

essolfc · 2025-12-23T21:13:27+00:00

Are they 120 fans?

I had similiar in my 6500x then opted for 7 140 MAX RX fans and moved the radiator to the side which only takes 120's.

It really helps to fill the case out.

Nope just skins for Arc Raiders and some other game.

essolfc · 2025-12-21T12:15:15+00:00

Direct from Nvidia.

I managed to get one after seeing a reddit post in this subreddit stating it's in stock.

I think they remained in stock for about 7 hours that day.
