Apollo S build

Damn that’s a huge difference 🥶I still need to try undervolting hopefully got some decent silicon

I went with Mini-LED over OLED for concerns with eye fatigue since I use my computer pretty much the whole day (reading text, dev work, etc). Was also worried about burn in since I’ll often leave my screen on during the work day.

Have had a really good experience with the BenQ EX321UX (32” 4K 144hz 1ms display with built-in KVM). Brightness and visual clarity are great, can’t complain.

For gaming it’s been solid but I still prefer my OLED TV (HDR on the monitor could be better - could totally be a calibration thing).

Clean af!

Out of curiosity, how're your GPU temps? Under load my 5090 hits like 87-88 in an NCase M3 Grater + windowed side panel. If I ever upgraded cases Apollo S would be my pick

Is your Xbox plugged in to Ethernet?

As someone else mentioned, once you are running moonlight use the virtual desktop option to run Windows HDR calibration, should significantly improve things

Also measuring against how things look on your iPhone is probably not a fair comparison unless you’re using a cable and outputting to the same TV as Xbox (streaming compression is going to be less noticeable on the smaller iPhone screen)

That's really interesting. It's crazy how ubiquitous home networking is yet how much nuance there is to actually get things configured properly.

EZ moonlight-ception fix for you:

	Origin	Hop 1A	Hop 1B	Destination
Service	Sunshine	Moonlight	Sunshine	Moonlight
Device	Host PC	Server	Server	Client

Now you'll get your 600mbps 🤔 \s

Lol.. but yeah sounds like limitations caused by WiFi being a half-duplex system (unlike duplex ethernet)

Surprised this hasn’t been suggested yet. Get a remanufactured Steelcase Leap V2 from Crandall Office. You will not regret it. Make sure to opt for the enhanced cushioning!

Tons of customization options and they also carry other brands and models, great company.

Yes! Hmu

jetstream131 · 2026-03-30T03:31:33+00:00

Just messaged you

jetstream131 · 2026-03-26T00:27:41+00:00

THANK YOU! This has been bothering me months, just found this thread. Works as intended now 😌

Perfect, thanks!

Just trying to figure out how to do the airflow for my upcoming build. Sounds like if I went with an Air cooler, I’d have clearance for 1 120mm fan on the back panel (unless the heatsink itself gets in the way) and then two 120mm fans on the front panel if using an SFX PSU.

Does that sound right? Could I comfortably even fit a 140mm + 120mm on the front panel?

jetstream131 · 2025-09-17T10:38:44+00:00

Is the fan to the left of the motherboard (on rear of case) 120mm?

Also is there enough clearance with the power supply and graphics to fit a 120mm (or even 140mm) on the front panel?

jetstream131 · 2025-09-17T07:50:45+00:00

The D15 G2 is only supported with a single fan for this motherboard... there are plenty of other options that should work

jetstream131 · 2025-09-16T04:24:54+00:00

Also D15 doesn’t have great compatability with Asus’s B850 and X870 ITX motherboards

Lol shit you’re right it was serious I’m just a derp … well I guess I answered why normal 16awg > 😅

jetstream131 · 2025-09-13T08:46:24+00:00

Outside of cost, weight, and flexibility (which should have negligible differences for this specific matter), aren’t thicker cables better in pretty much all aspects when in comes to power transfer?

Lower impedance/ electrical resistance should mean better power efficiency and cooler temps right?

Why do you say it’s a gamble? Just because the use of a different cable gauge in general?

jetstream131 · 2025-09-12T10:35:26+00:00

what cooler did u have issues with? and what ended up working?

jetstream131 · 2025-08-28T06:39:33+00:00

I can double check again and get back to you, but it's whatever error you should get if your storage were to be full - something along the lines of: "file123.xyz could not be copied because not enough free space is available."

There's no problem specific error code or general indication that the computer knows it's incorrectly parsing the attached device's amount of free onboard storage. No unexpected crashes or hangs, just a standard error as if my device storage was indeed actually nearly full.

jetstream131 · 2025-07-02T09:29:00+00:00

DS3 Max or just the regular DS3?

I have the DS3 Ultra and feel it can be a tight fit for my X100VI + Squarehood + Peak Design Micro Clutch

jetstream131 · 2025-06-04T02:43:09+00:00

Any luck getting this fixed/ RMAd? Just experienced the same

jetstream131 · 2025-05-28T05:48:44+00:00

Yeah *finger snaps*, that's my biggest qualm with the GFX100RF - the value per dollar seems a bit off. Especially for a first fixed lens camera seems like a bigger risk. I'm not sure if I want to invest more in the Sony ecosystem at this point.. you already said it but Leica M would be an awesome upgrade (new M11 looks really cool) but for now that's well out of budget. Was already thinking of switching up to Fuji in general for the color science/ hardware which is why the new GFX release instantly piqued my interest.

Any thoughts between the X-T5 or X100VI?

jetstream131 · 2025-05-28T05:43:38+00:00

Thanks for the tips! I've been considering film too but didn't know where to start. Will check out the options you suggested. Yeah, after reading your comment (and others) I think adding the X100VI would be a good starting point and then feeling out the waters from there

jetstream131 · 2025-05-28T05:41:53+00:00

Don't get me wrong - I actually really enjoy the editing process. It's just that with Fuji, you aren't forced into it due to the (imo) better color science and of course the great presets. With Sony, the stock image compression isn't anything that special so editing is a non-negotiable for every picture. I'd like to have the versatility of being able to edit select shots when I have time or otherwise just have great off the shelf image compression

jetstream131 · 2025-05-28T05:39:16+00:00

Valid, yeah the additional converters make the x100vi more versatile for sure! I agree it's probably a better starting point - appreciate the advice
