[autumn moth]

Thanks for the full spec sheet

[sage abyss]

Apparently u can burn the screen 🥲 😂

So yeah, dont have it at 100% brightness and have different apps enabled so it isnt a solid picture :/

& hopefully it isnt permanent! 🙄

[keen ore]

Also, make sure your image isn't all white. if it is just invert it so most of the pixels are black.

[shy rampart]

I see your problem and i raise you mine

[livid fulcrum]

yall flexing pcs but im the real winner here

[cloud grail]

Damn you got the touchpad on your keyboard while you're already working on a laptop with a touch pad

[inland stump]

ppiccs please

[gleaming urchin]

ill work on that when i get my new pc though

[frozen vale]

Are you German?

[gleaming urchin]

yes

[frozen vale]

Ok

[gleaming urchin]

[shell warren]

[shy rampart]

[winged trout]

[shell warren]

[gleaming urchin]

yes but only a bit, i havent been there in a very long time

my polish grammar sucks and i always forget some words

[shell warren]

oh ok

i asked bcs i'm from poland and i don't speak english very well 😦

[sage abyss]

Its never all white 🙂 just to showcase the damage 😛

[tardy smelt]

lucky lols

I just have a built in steelseries keyboard

and i would like a apex 7 and a rival 5 with a qck prism and a arctic pro

lols

but im not complaining

u should get a beta fish tank lol it would make ur setup 1000000x better

[floral arrow]

😂

[main token]

i redid my 4k wallpapers i made, making the logo uncrunchy myself

if it still has issues contact me,

psd for self editing including, dont have photoshop? use photopea, online alternative thats actually good

[autumn moth]

Looks great @main token!

[main token]

thanks! really hoping the logo isnt as bad as the prev version :)

[spare wraith]

Apex pro tkl, arctis pro, rival 600, steelseries cells deviding mouse pad, steelseries mouse bungee

[rose oriole]

my speaker plates on my headset match your mousepad!

[opaque ruin]

ITS nice

[spare wraith]

Desk sucks

[ancient cradle]

nice

[spare wraith]

@ancient cradlethx

[ancient cradle]

i am only with apex 5

[spare wraith]

Yes thats a evapolar too, dont buy it!

@ancient cradle you should have saved the pro is amazing

[ancient cradle]

what is the difference between apex 5 and apex pro

[autumn moth]

Apex 5 has clicky, hybrid switches, Apex Pro has linear, adjustable omnipoint switches

[ancient cradle]

i prefer clicky

[autumn moth]

Everyone has their own opinions

[ancient cradle]

yeah

[spare wraith]

I want to get into competitive so ye

Getting more rgb and better cpu cooler in the future

[keen ore]

It won't make much of a difference, but make sure you don't have too much software for things like RGB and stuff. If you end up having too much software it'll eat up your resources.

[spare wraith]

@keen ore Of course ik i only plan to get rgb fans io cooler

[nocturne field]

Are u really ? We cant buy all of them in Turkey If you want buy them you need be a rich :(

[fossil night]

[lone stirrup]

What are the specs

[tall mulch]

can i just ask what monitors those are

[dark ether]

@tall mulch the middle one is a lg 144hz 27in, the left one is a lg ultra wide 35in that isn’t available anymore, and the right one is a 60hz benQ 27in

@tall mulch I could get the model of everything if you need

[versed apex]

So my Rival 650 and Stratus Duo arrived today but my Apex Pro TKL is apparently lost in the ether somewhere 😬

[autumn moth]

Ouch, nice wallpaper tho

[versed apex]

Lol thanks. Yeah apparently the error FedEx reported on the tracking page only applies to the KB because I opened my front door this morning and there were two tiny boxes with the mouse and controller

[autumn moth]

Any luck with support?

[rose oriole]

i made sure he got taken care of :-)

im always out here making sure people in the discord are taken care of

[autumn moth]

Awesome, glad to hear it

[versed apex]

We stan Klex 🙏. I replied to the ticket earlier saying that I got the mouse and controller but the keyboard is still missing

[solar axle]

@lone stirrup ayzen 3700x

[tall mulch]

thx

[dark ether]

I love things from steelseries so far I have headphones and I have a keyboard and a mouse from razer but soon I'm going to buy a mouse pad and a mouse from steelseries if anyone asks what equipment I have, razer mouse mamba tourament edition razer chroma keyboard and razer goliathus mouse pad Control fissure edition

And SteelSeries Arctis 5

[blazing glen]

looks sweet

[blazing glen]

maybe an extended mousepad would be more gamery

[dark ether]

Yes but im not playing on pc im playing on ps5

and is the neon rider pad good?

[dark ether]

Sure why not

[autumn moth]

#bot-commands

[zinc needle]

Don't do that here

[dark ether]

Ok sory

[zinc needle]

Second time in the wrong channel

[dark ether]

well, because I always get confused in the channels

[blazing glen]

i think a qck edge xl would be nice, or maybe a fury s or Goliath

[dark ether]

Thanks i will buy qck rgb mousepad

[blazing glen]

Prisms look sweet

They cost like 60 bucks tho

[dark ether]

yeah

[dark ether]

Who waiting for dying light 2?

Im so hyped

[blazing glen]

i dont play many other games besides csgo

lemme check it out

looks fun

[dark ether]

Yeah

[blazing glen]

like a zombie apocalypse?

[dark ether]

Yes

[blazing glen]

cool

i might give it a try\

i dont have much money tho

im looking forward to far cry 6

[dark ether]

Yes farcry 6 is soo amazing

the dying light series overall has been gaining popularity since the game teaser was released in 2013

I'm a fan of dying light as well as a fan of far cry

[zinc needle]

lets keep the discussion to #💬-general

[quiet dune]

Got my apex pro, steelseries setup is complete now

[autumn moth]

Congrats

[zinc needle]

looks good

[quiet dune]

Yeah, for the price it must haha

[tall mulch]

could you pls that would be helpful

[muted swift]

If you can get hold of one yeah lmao

[muted swift]

They're super nice they're just hella pricey

I got an XL they're lovely

[wheat glade]

what is that small screen above your keyboard?

[quiet dune]

Thats the GameDac, also from Steelseries

[cursive yacht]

is it worth the buy?

[autumn moth]

Maybe, maybe not

Might be for you

[quiet dune]

depends if you want a volume mix and better sound quality

Thats all it can do

i dont know if that gives every headset 7.1 surround

[cursive yacht]

hm

ill probably get a proper dac and amp then

[quiet dune]

yeah

[sudden salmon]

Does the headset arctis 1 have a good mic and sound? and is it available for pc

[autumn moth]

It's alright for the price, and yes it works for pc

[sudden salmon]

ok

so overal it is a good headset?

[autumn moth]

As I said it's alright, but there may well be better options

[sudden salmon]

ok

any suggestions?

[autumn moth]

Blackshark V2

[quiet dune]

What?

You mean the cable?

Idk how you mean, mousepad cable under my keyboard?

Flex :)

[blazing glen]

Wallet go brrrrrrr

[quiet dune]

Yeah it did, but i hope it doesnt the next few years :)

[quiet dune]

Yeah, idk if it was worthy over the apex 7 tho

[autumn moth]

Not imo, but it depends if you'll fully utilise all the features

[quiet dune]

Yeah, idk for what exactly they are

Im just playing games

I bought it just bcs it was on sale cheaper than the 7 in qwertz format

yeah

I like that you can set them to go on when theyre fully pressed

it works haha

[autumn moth]

So basically like any hotswap board (by that classification)

[tender flower]

What are you on about?

[autumn moth]

You usually don't buy new switches for a faster actuation lol

[ionic wolf]

flex

[plucky sedge]

I have only rival 3 mice

And i want to buy arctis 5

[quiet dune]

Wheres all the stuff?

[ionic wolf]

from my other setup

[quiet dune]

Oh okay

[lone stirrup]

Thank you

[burnt merlin]

my setup i just liked the feel of the rival 310

im thinking of geting a arctis pro

[tender nexus]

[untold dock]

i got the xxl mouse pad but it at my dads😐

[tired vector]

huh?

[autumn moth]

I can already hear the spring ping

[charred spindle]

sheeeesh that's nice

i only got apex 5 🥲

ouch sorry, you will get one one day,

[alpine field]

My dad calls it the command station. I call it the "time machine". Whatever the name, my battlestation is finally approaching its final, pinnacle form. All it needs now is a proper desktop PC, lol.
(FYI the bookshelf speakers are not plugged in. I was hoping they would sit farther back and act as surround sound, but alas, my desk doesn't extend back far enough.)

Yes but it looks cool

For real though, I angled them up extra high for the photo and now prefer them that way (probably just because it's something different, IDK.) The split isn't that big a deal because I know touch typing, and I'm planning on 3D printing and wiring up an upgraded version that solves most of my other grievances (not enough keys being the biggest one)

[ivory ridge]

@alpine field I saw that u used a usb split and I was wondering if it’s good quality because that’s the one I was thinking or getting

[alpine field]

It works fine, but the "build quality" is kinda meh because you're getting what you pay for.

I have no way of objectively testing speeds or power draw or anything like that. I'll DM you some pictures, though.

[ivory ridge]

Mk

[blazing glen]

dayum

[knotty otter]

yeah I'm getting a new desk this week I'll show the after

[quiet dune]

Where do you guys get these keycaps?

[autumn moth]

HyperX pudding keycaps from amazon

[quiet dune]

Nice

I saw steelseries has these prism keycaps but they cant be bought?

[autumn moth]

Huh? No.

[quiet dune]

Just saw them one time

[zinc needle]

because aesthetic, space saving, and preference

[autumn moth]

That's not the main point, some prefer a 40% layout

[stark prawn]

why would u prefer a 40% layout i understand 60% or tkl but not 40 thats just way to small

[tired vector]

literally

like look at that space bar

its not even a bar anymore

[broken hollow]

Aaand i instantly switched the gain to high without knowing it gave my headset 6 dB more

Good thing i didn't wear the headset yet

Again, English only.

[shy rampart]

The server language is English only due to the limitations of our mod staff, continue to ignore the rules you agreed to when joining will result in a mute or ban

[timid talon]

should i get it?

[autumn moth]

If you want to

[knotty otter]

Yeah I plan to get some

[covert haven]

What webcam is that????

[hot ruin]

Either a Logitech C920 or C922

[covert haven]

yeah it looks alot like a logitech one, but there are just many logitech webcams that look like that too

[covert haven]

yeah it looks like the one on the right its just a bit hard to tell which one tho

[tight vine]

Cool

[autumn moth]

Congrats

[tight vine]

No polish

[autumn moth]

Great

[tired vector]

My friend has something very similar

[sly veldt]

hi

[autumn moth]

Hey

No reason to ask in #archive-battlestations

[sly veldt]

ok

[odd nexus]

that's not you.

[zinc needle]

last part was unnecessary @odd nexus

[autumn moth]

You're getting those results because the box design is the same, which the algorithm picks up on. Find an identical image before you accuse him of stealing it.

[odd nexus]

[tight vine]

Wait what...

Here let me get another pick

[charred spindle]

sheeeeeeesh sick

[autumn moth]

lol

[charred spindle]

did you put a mouse wire cover thingy on it?

[tight vine]

Yes to protect against my cat

[tired vector]

Why would someone lie about this kind of stuff

[charred spindle]

okok move on topic. change, no hate

[tight vine]

Ok thx

[charred spindle]

mhm

we all gamers and love steelseries no hate here

[tight vine]

Yes

[tired vector]

Understandable my cat ruined two of my headsets i fixed ones wire but other one didnt fix

[charred spindle]

ooo i have a dog, but he is nice, he doesn't chew stuff

[tight vine]

Damn rip...

[charred spindle]

waiting to show off my workstation but i need to cable manage first

[tired vector]

Yeah my cat was like 3 months old he doesnt chew wires anymore so i can safely leave them anywhere i want

[tight vine]

Did you teach him?

[versed apex]

Hello Apex Pro TKL. Goodbye Apex M750 TKL, you served me well over the last four years ♥️

[plucky sedge]

Will you sell it??

[versed apex]

No I'm gonna use it as my travel keyboard and/or take it back to my parent's house and use it to have a permanent battle station setup over there for when I go home and visit that I can just plug my laptop into and game

[gloomy orchid]

I game on this

It's the best

I can connect mouse and keyboard

[tight vine]

omg so good

[lilac pivot]

[rare glen]

i have read 30 articles and explanations. i still dont know what this even does

[stable ibex]

u playin with this?

[odd nexus]

that's not even you but okay

even if it was, 1/10

[odd nexus]

imo the m750 looks so much better

no flashy rgb

[autumn moth]

It's just the same but less

[odd nexus]

Most likely for less money?

I'd rather have the Apex Pro TKL, but with the rgb off

[autumn moth]

Ok then

[oak hemlock]

Setup is coming together...

[frozen vale]

[odd nexus]

the wires..

Please do your cable management 😩

[stable ibex]

[odd nexus]

yikes

[versed apex]

The M750 has the same per-key RGB and profile settings as the Pro. The only thing the M750 doesn't have is the OLED screen and the dedicated macro keys. Plus the Omnipoints feel a whole lot better than the QcK Reds I have on my 750. The adjustable actuation definitely makes a difference for me

[willow cairn]

do you have to get the m750 physically?

[versed apex]

What do you mean "get it physically?"

[willow cairn]

do they have them online or do you have to go to a store?

[versed apex]

Well they don't make them anymore so you'd have to find a used one somewhere

[willow cairn]

ah ok

[flint lotus]

Same happened to mine🙃

[rugged shadow]

Yea it’s sad I’m now going to try and glue it with 2 component glue and see what happens

[willow cairn]

you plug into your console and get better sound quality

[dire ridge]

Rate and suggestions?

[charred spindle]

better lighting? like led light strips or those light leaves

idk the name

[autumn moth]

Nanoleaf panels, they're expensive

[rose oriole]

looks clean, love it

is that a llama on your water bottle tho

[dark ether]

Thank you, nd it sure is. Won it from Dave & Buster's 😂

[rose oriole]

makes it instantly better

[charred spindle]

how the heck did you hide the wires?

not even anything on the wall

[dark ether]

A lot of cable management 😅

[autumn moth]

Nice cable

[lilac pivot]

it was a joke, jeez

[dire ridge]

no need to get vexed lmao

[knotty current]

where did you get those painting from

and the mouse pad

[sick tangle]

displate and omnitype

[knotty current]

thanks for that

[sick tangle]

Yeah np!

[covert abyss]

Upgrade from first post

Intel 5 7400 to ryzen 5 3600
And bought a big mousepad

[dire ridge]

thanks

[zealous oasis]

I think it looks good but your desk tops don’t match the mood of the room

[knotty current]

seems sick

but the table is a pit too small for me

never the less great setup

[dire ridge]

well what other desk top colours do i choose

[odd nexus]

you should get a bigger desk if you can and wall/desk mount your monitor using vesa

Also get a mouse bungee

Also there are so many mismatched colors so please choose a color scheme

I see a black mouse, white keyboard, and blue and white mousepad

[knotty current]

i heard you can paint a mouse

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHAIfAuY1AY

[covert abyss]

Ty

[knotty current]

np

[covert abyss]

I dont really need a bigger table at the moment perhaps sometime in the future if i wanna upgrade i'll keep that in mind

[covert abyss]

Well i was planning on being a white and blue scheme but i dont have a white mouse so i just change the mouse light colour to blue lmao

[odd nexus]

It's not that you need one it's that it'll be useful because your mousepad looks like it's about to fall off the edges of your table

Also your monitor looks way too big compared to the size of it

[covert abyss]

True

[autumn moth]

Please, clean your mousepad

[maiden peak]

@autumn moth No, it’s battle-scarred.

You should see that keyboard now :/

[charred spindle]

at least turn it upside down and smack it onc in a while

[versed apex]

I mean...my M750 looked worse than that after just a couple months because my apartment is super dusty but you should really get into a habit of cleaning your gear at least once every few months. I have to do mine about once every month because of all the damn dust that accumulates in this place

[cold trellis]

Nice.

They're almost exactly the same apart from modifiers and centred legends

[versed apex]

The SteelSeries ones do look a lot better tho. The actual top cap area is smaller and there's more area for the RGB to shine through than with the HpyerX ones

[serene fjord]

Damn i want the prismcaps now

They just look so good

[tight vine]

They look delicious

[severe eagle]

My new cat

:)

[autumn moth]

Cat pics are cool, but it's not a battlestation

I wanted a steelseries mouse but ended up with viper mini🤷🏻‍♂️

[brisk anvil]

Great looking setup

[shell pier]

I like the topographic mousepad

[autumn moth]

It's nice, the rfp collab?

[shell pier]

[wise ruin]

Although I'm pretty sure it was a limited run

[neat quartz]

thx

[autumn moth]

You might be able to find it on r/mm

[wise ruin]

yep its sold out but you can put your email in their website and they'll notify u when its in stock again

[severe eagle]

[dark ether]

dammm that brick wall is the cherry on top

[dark ether]

[wise ruin]

[dark ether]

ok

[wise ruin]

worth the price

[dark ether]

i have them too

it worth 421pln

but very good as this price

[wise ruin]

its my friend's setup rate it

[dark ether]

good

[autumn moth]

3/10

No colour scheme, no evidence of cable management, very cluttered, monitor and TV are off centre

[brisk anvil]

@glad hull English only please

[dark ether]

New key caps are gorgeous

These are the Prismcaps btw

[autumn moth]

Only using half of them?

[dark ether]

Couldn’t wait to see them in action. They are bright AF.

But yes I did the whole set 😛

[violet cloak]

I have ur keyboard

I like it

[dark ether]

It's my first real mechanical keyboard. I dig it. I was using a membrane Corsair for the longest.

[violet cloak]

Oh

coasitr keyboard are great

[dark ether]

I never touched any of their real mechanicals. Got the Apex because I bought the Rival 500 and loved it.

[autumn moth]

That is not the most flattering picture

[violet cloak]

???

do you like my keuyboard

its purple

it has rgb

and its big 😮

[autumn moth]

I don't like rgb much, but sure it's fine

[violet cloak]

i had the hyperx pudding caps on my old keyboard, put one on my new kb and honestly, i'd rather just use the stock keycaps or get the prism caps

[violet cloak]

i got hentai caps

[night shadow]

not a bad idea...

[violet cloak]

ya

[violet cloak]

you invted keyboards

;

?

[dark ether]

Oh no, I've been found out as a PCMR illuminati

[violet cloak]

What does that mean

[autumn moth]

He means he didn't invent keyboards, if that's what you were saying

[dark sonnet]

Here’s mine!

[ionic wolf]

keyboard ?

@shell pier

[shell pier]

Razer Huntsman Tournement edition

[ionic wolf]

nice what switches ?

[shell pier]

with some custom stuff on it

[ionic wolf]

i have the mini with purple switchs

[ionic wolf]

the keycaps are so cool

[shell pier]

Im a linear fanboy. this is like their first release

where the actuation point was still 1mm

[ionic wolf]

i personally don't like the feel of the mini with linear

[shell pier]

I get you

[ionic wolf]

it's just personal and i tested both

[shell pier]

I went from clicky. then tried browns then linear. you just dont get any feedback

[ionic wolf]

and the space bar sucks

[shell pier]

hmm yeah its a bit rattly

but could be worse tbh

[ionic wolf]

but I must confess that the new linear over the mini are super quiet

[ionic wolf]

yes

And then there is no longer the ping that there was on the TE

[shell pier]

wait rly?

ah that makes me jealous haha

[thick wraith]

is that tape lmao

Or am I an idiot

[violet cloak]

No what I mean is what Is PCMR illuminati

[shell pier]

yeah

[dark ether]

PCMR is PC master race, illuminati is like a secret ruling class. It was just a joke about being the guy who invented keyboards.

[severe eagle]

yep, its a tape

[violet cloak]

oh okay thanks lol

[dark ether]

I actually use Imagesync now. Prismcaps be praised!

[violet cloak]

[sharp pebble]

lowkey nice iguess just saw them new on site so just got it with the order for my birthday

[pure rover]

Shame there isn’t an extra LED in the space bar 😔

[plucky sedge]

[inland stump]

mind sharing how u did thisa

is pm or here

[versed apex]

ImageSync. It's an app within SteelSeries GG that lets you set gifs on the keyboards that have per-key RGB

[inland stump]

the gif?

do have a copy

apex 7 and apex pro tkl w/ white and black puddings

[charred spindle]

two keyboard?!?

[dark ether]

That's some 5 head thinking. Never thought of mixing the white set WITH the black set.

Now I have a reason to get 2 sets of Prismcaps

[dreamy hare]

I recently upgraded to the pro, going to take the Apex 7 to be my work keyboard

[dreamy hare]

Haha, im actually cheating a bit theres 1 set of hyper x and one set of steelseries, i brought the hyper x just prior to the prismcaps release and was a little butthurt to say the least lol

[dark ether]

Still looks impressive

[dreamy hare]

Thanks bro

Steelseries fanboying hard since about 2018/17

[dark ether]

I barely made the jump to SS this year. I was poor and used membrane “mechanical” keyboards for the longest.

Also could you send me a pic of the Prismcap 4 key when you have a chance. Not sure if mine is scuffed or that’s just how it is

$ appears to be missing the backing on the lower half.

[opal surge]

should probably put this in the support channel

[charred spindle]

that is my dream

haha

[next basalt]

With yesterday being Flag Day, I'd like to show off the amazing set-up I got going on in my quarters here in the navy.

[bleak vessel]

the RGB

[dreamy hare]

it’s a great combo bro

[dreamy hare]

massively recommend whenever you all get a new Apex/Apex pro stick a thin line of clear tape on the bottom of the keyboard where the magnetic wrist mount connects to avoid scratching from metal on metal contact

gg all

video 1 - apex pro 2 months use w/ tape
video 2 - apex 7 6 months use / no tape 😦

[sonic dawn]

Genius

But it's too late already :(

[crisp cairn]

My Set is complete

[winged trout]

[glass mica]

Im truelly happy with my set

[nova moat]

all i need is an arctis pro and i've got the dripped out setup

[dreamy hare]

Steelseries x MSI is my vibe bro, even the laptop is MSI with the steelseries board 🙂

[winged trout]

Ah nice haha i love msi too

My msi also has a steelseries keyboard

[sharp pebble]

prismcaps 😝

damn discord really makes the quality shit

[sharp pebble]

they are pretty cool but not worth the pricetag imo, if normal keycaps cost like 5 times less

[autumn moth]

They cost very little

$30 for keycaps is inexpensive

[charred spindle]

gmk keycaps go brrrr

[autumn moth]

Aftermarket prices are where it gets fun

[charred spindle]

mhm

[sharp pebble]

lol fair they are like 40 here in denmark

Yeah, they look great but i kinda regret because i bought them month before the steelseries released their keycaps .-.

[daring aurora]

uhhhh does this count?

[autumn moth]

Sure

[stark prawn]

cant do anything about the hdmi cable behind the second monitor and the speaker placement is a little scuffed but apart from that im happy with it

You can, buy a cable raceway matching your wall

[fickle zealot]

Man sometimes I wish I had a setup that look as good as some of these

[mint sand]

Don't worry my setup is just a laptop on the kitchen table

[kindred barn]

idk man, these setups do look good and all, but personally i'd rather go for functionality. Unless im making enough money from gaming to fund all of this, im going to stick to cheaper more minimalist pieces with a beefy pc

[dark ether]

Got the leds up🙏

[dark ether]

That looks alot like the one on the stealseries website.... Wait...

[dark ether]

I believe in you

Join the Dark Side

Prove everyone wrong

[winged trout]

very red

[dark ether]

My build isn't that expensive, trust me

Lmao same

[winged trout]

Steelseries>>>>>>>> All other brands

Corsair second for me

[dark ether]

My build was 900 dollars
Get you a hp gaming system, buy a case, fans, cooler, and white cables and this is the result

Wait for ryzen 6000 series to drop so you can get a 5000 series on clearance for 500 to 600

Ooooo

Look at this

That's ok

I'm gonna get a apex 5 but do you want to here why?.....

It's.... Not good news

My apex 3.... Her age is starting to show and the leds are starting to fail and turn miscolored

Been in service for over a year

Niceeeeeee

I'm sticking with my arctis 1 wired🙏

It's all I got rn

No way

Hold on

We both got solo 3's 😳

OMFG🤣

Yeah, I got some of my stuff because I sell snacks at school

A teacher threatened to get my arrested so I stop selling and guess what

1. It's legal
2. I never stopped
3. He started selling 1 week after

I nice wall mount and a dual monitor setup will change your whole setup man

Trust me👌

I believe in you

Don't forget me

Wanna know something?

That cpu cooler I got

Check it on Amazon

Aresgame river 5

25 dollars🤯

I get 65 degrees Celsius while under heavy load, and 30 at idle

Includes intel and amd mounts

And they send you a free rgb mouse pad

Insane

I got 5 fans in the pc, got em for 17 dollars

Cables were 16

Motherboard was 70

Trust me, it's a BIG cooler

Brb

Fully modular, pretty good

Ight I'm going to bed

Bruh

[fickle zealot]

yeah you do have a point

[autumn moth]

Not too bad, but I'd add more intake fans and perhaps upgrade the cpu cooler, even though the stock cooler will probably be fine for now

I can't tell if the RGB strips are diffused or not from the picture and there doesn't seem to be a consistent colour scheme, so 6/10

[hazy ember]

ur pc has pretty good specs but the rgb just needs a little work. other than that, good job!

[autumn moth]

Custom sleeved cables wouldn't hurt either

[undone oxide]

The case isnt apart of the final product its old, poor airflow, the fans definitely need replaced before they go out. I have a new Asus tuff case ordered and waiting to be finally delivered

The case will have new and more fans and i planned to order those extras as well soon

It is also my very first build

[hazy ember]

thats a pretty good first build

my first had a 1660 super and ryzen 5 3600x

[shell pier]

If your planning on fans

i cant recommend the arctic value pack enough

its 5 fans

for like 20eur

and theyre actually really really good

better than high end brands like Corsair or EKwaterblocks

doesnt beat noctua though

[whole heart]

3700x, 32gb 3200mhz, EVGA RTX 3080 XC3, AsRock B550m Steel Legend, Noctua U12S, in a phanteks P500a

[autumn moth]

That doesn't look like an ATX motherboard

I guess it still works, just looks a bit empty. But nice setup otherwise

[whole heart]

You are correct, It's a MicroATX board. the B550m steel legend.

[mint sand]

I really like blue and white color scheme for setups, it makes it seem more modern and make it just brighter in the room

[dark ether]

😩

[versed apex]

Did a bit of an upgrade to the mobile battlestation. Added my old M750 TKL to go with my Rival 310 so I can have an actual mechanical keyboard for gaming, and I'm using the Arctis 5s via 3.5mm for audio so I don't have to mess with that really long chat mix cable. Also have my laptop propped up on a stand for better cooling.

[dark ether]

yes

[steady barn]

damn my setup aint got shit on that

[dark ether]
