This is a shot of the innards of my PC from a couple years ago, the Vega 56 featured in this shot has since been upgraded to an RX 6600, and the CPU I was using at the time, an R7 1700, has since been side-graded to an R5 4500, and the Wraith Spire box heatsink that’s featured in this shot has since been upgraded to an NH-U12S redux /w the second fan kit, admittedly an overkill heatsink for an R5 4500, but it does a really good job keeping that CPU cool.

    My GPU has minimal lighting (3070 XC) one for the logo on the side, motherboard has its turned off (if it even has any?) and my ram is set to a dull white.

    All fans are noctua (heatsink is a d15 black, case are mission brown)

    System is somewhat recent (13900kf + z790i edge)

    The minimal lighting that I have can be toggled easily.

    Funnily enough my z390 board in my rack has more lighting than my desktop PC, can’t be bothered to turn it’s onboard strip off.

    I feel lighting has its place, but too many SI / people overdo it.

      My current GPU has no RGB (PowerColor Fighter RX 6600), and I’m just using basic G.Skill Aegis RAM atm. Mainboard’s a PRIME B350-Plus which was updated to BIOS 6042 so it can take 4000-series and 5000-series CPUs.
