I got bored of blue RGB so its all now Yellow

If you see any other colour, I suggest an eye test

Those are all the same colour to me. I can't help it if camera sees differently
Only yellow it sees is at bottom of the case, which is funny as I can't see that as well with glass on - its off in shot.

Just noticed that the top fan on AIO - the one I replaced a few weeks ago - is a slightly brighter yellow that the two below it, which is odd as they all on the same controller, and use same RGB software. I can only think they have a different revision to the two that came with AIO.

Its actually noticeable in the photo above, the white looks cleaner on top fan? right word? Fans were all cleaned about 3 weeks ago so that shouldn't be reason.

I plan on replacing them in about 3 weeks anyway. Remove the missmatch. Make them quieter as well.

so swapped rgb to green and now the color difference is less obvious, so its only certain colours/shades that make it stand out. The less bright ones probably hide it better.

Fans with led screens in hubs... I can understand...

Where would you put these

Also, too many in one case will start to look really bad... even if they show out front of glass case.

And fans need to actually be good enough to use... they aren't just for looks... though its getting hard to tell. I wouldn't use these simply as you can get better without killing cooling for looks

One advantage to have wireless KB & Mouse is if/when I plug PC in after its been unplugged, my keyboard rgb doesn't auto turn on. My Corsair KB used to do that all the time. Sure, if I bump kb when PC is off, it turns on but I can flick switch on back of KB off and it turns off.

think I order new fans for PC this weekend.

just in case we need more PWM cable length. Where the hub goes is something I still not sure about.

Probably get one of these at same time

Keyboard being odd today, its really slow to react if I use Bluetooth but is fine on wired. I have been charging it most of day and I assumed it would be better by now. I wonder if restarting PC make any difference... guess I find out next restart.

that seemed to been the fix. A restart. Now its back to normal again

Thats problem I have with keyboard, there really isn't any way to tell how much battery its on. Windows is meant to know

Not sure how accurate this is as it always shows 100%

It should be fairly accurate today since its been plugged in 13 hours.

Seems its almost one year since I bought it. It still feels rock solid. I wonder if any dust got under the keycaps... I can't tell. I should look... just not now. I have the tools needed to do it, since they came with keyboard. Could even put the windows key on

Hardest part was training fingers not to hit print screen key when I want to hit delete. They right next to each other... it took a while, it happens less often now than it did the first few months. It does still happen enough that I hate how the escape key doesn't make the snipping tool disappear most of time and I have to use mouse to close it.

I should have got a 10kl keyboard as I still have yet to use the number pad... maybe next time. I thought it would help with a course I was going to do... nope. Only key I use over that side of keyboard still is the other enter key

Nvidia has done away with Experience.

Nvidia App reaches version 1.0 milestone and exits beta — GeForce Experience and Control Panel now deprecated

One interface to rule them all — the GPU settings, we mean.

Downloading the app now, apparently doesnt require a sign in.

Good riddance. It always felt invasive. I run a lot of macros in excel VBA that call other apps, and having Experience running always interrupted. Same thing with macro keys from my keyboard if they switch to other apps. I never did look into why, but it was a lot easier just to turn the damn thing off.

I have been waiting for this review, now I have second thoughts about case itself.

I worry about it in a year or so when I make next PC

Messing around with 3D Mark a little, seems I managed to get a decent sample on my 4070 for once. Probably helps that I have extra RAM now running in dual rank, but nice to be on the top end of the curve for the same hardware. No OC, no prioritizing the process or other tricks. Just raw dogging it, so pretty happy with that result.
