It's looks good in the demo, about what you would expect for the price.

Would really have to see how it handles action scenes in 4K.

Does your MicroCenter have a "maker station"?

Yeah, I believe it's in the hobby section. I didn't go in there though.

Things I've learned tonight.

1. aRGB is not the fricking same as RGB.

2. I have too many lights/fans, cables and controllers for my case. Lighting cables take up a considerable amount of space. aRGB is obviously blame.

3. Impulse buying cases is a good and bad idea. I bought the Thermaltake v200. It came with 4 decent fans, it's small, a exactly what I wanted. Except, It doesn't support a 240mm rad up top. I didn't learn this until I was trying to mount it. Oh well, it's front mounted now.

4. I should have spent the extra $50 for the super light up edition EVGA version of my card.

5. I should have bought an M.2 drive.

6. This is the first time I've been up for 24 hours in years. It's fun.

Computer has been built for 7 hours. I've spent that time troubleshooting why my cooler pump and rad fans won't sync with my ram, motherboard and case fans. Everything said it was compatible with MSI Mystic light. They're not wrong, but I never considered there would be different rgb standards.

I hate myself and I want to die.


On the bright side, I didn't have to fight with my ram to get it to run at the rated 3600mhz, like some kits have had issues with.


Ran Firestrike. 3700x stock and 2070 super +80 on the core and +500 memory.

I would turn all those lights off. The problem is you probably can't turn everything off.

It would drive me nutts.

Gratz on the new system.

What ThermalTake case did you buy?

They stole CaseLabs design a few weeks back. Yeah I'm being a little hard on them but I was a CaseLabs fanboy.

Yeah, they're software controlled, so they can all turn off. I got the V200. It was cheap, small, and aesthetically what I wanted.

I'm out already. But here is an old one. I love soaking, esp for my feet and legs.



Edt: I'll get you a good one.

I feel like we're dangerously close to crossing a really weird line

Define the Great Line by Underoath is a screamo album I love.

Also Crossing the Rubicon by The Sounds is a decent pop punk syth album.

Serious talk, I've never taken baths until about 2yrs ago. My old legs need them man. Esp if I put some miles in on the bike.

I know you mean nvme, because m.2 is just an interface form factor.

They are my favorite band during that time.

That whole period is filled with terrible music. But still listen to Underoath sometimes. Sun Still Sleeps (sorry When the Sun Sleeps) has some nice syths.

It's not possible. Hardware is incompatible. Argb is 5v three pin and regular rgb is a 12v 4 pin and there doesn't seem to be a controller that has a voltage regulator. If your motherboard doesn't have an aRGB header, you're fricked. I ordered the exact same fan that came with my cooler, so I'll have all three in the front matching.

You can step up or down though right?

3rd party solutions?

That is interesting.
