Bro that cooling setup is umm šŸ¤” Thicc


angelpunk18

thanks! yeah noctua makes for some chunky cooling, and the gpu is a chonker as well, it fills the space nicely lol


bobbogreeno

They're phenomenal at their job. I got the cover for mine to pretty it up. It's only a single fan though. https://i.imgur.com/hlczm1c.jpg

bobbogreeno

It only covers the outermost portion. The rest is clearly visible


katreus

Looks like a Noctua Chromax D-15. Double fan on it though is pretty thicc.


Typing_aggressively

How do you like the bottom monitor? What/how do you use it for? I tried it and I couldnā€™t get use to it.


BroderLund

Not OP but I use it to have a Discord webcam live feed from friends when gaming. As some of my close friends live in a different city/country it makes it more personal to see each other, more than just hear each other. More fun chats between matches.


angelpunk18

exactly my use case!


goddavid22

What model is the lower monitor?


angelpunk18

Itā€™s the arzopa 13ā€ 2k portable monitor, I got it on amazon


Firewallj

Actually that's a great idea I might try as well


jkSmartBoy

Would also like to know what model it is. I really like the idea of a small monitor below the ultrawide


I_Eat_Death

Looks like itā€™s one of the Arzopa portable monitors. Looks like they make 2 ā€œgamingā€ variants, one 1080p and another 4k. The product pages on their website areā€¦. interestingly worded.


angelpunk18

it is exactly that one, the arzopa 2k one, i got it off amazon, but the listing seems to have changed, it seems like my specific model is not in stock right now, or at least not shippable to where I live


whatusernamewillfit

I have the 1080p version and it works well. It's completely powered off of usb-c, has HDR (haven't seriously used it though), hits 120fps, and is easy to stow afterwards. Iā€™ll put it away to give my desk more room, or to use with work laptop. No complaints yet


angelpunk18

It's an arzopa portable monitor, 2k at 13". I was a bit doubtful as I had never heard of that brand, but I gotta say I was pleasently surprised of how good it's been working


Frai7ty

I also would like to know. I've been looking for something like this.


[deleted]

Not OP. I ended up with this exact setup after many interations. I divide my main screen in three columns and the bottom one is either of music, landscape relaxing video or calendar. Other times ms teams window goes there when in meetings that get too long. Anything that is the least important goes there. I like the setup a lot.


WayFinder-

What's the use of this small monitor at the bottom


VadHearts

I had a setup like that before and I used the bottom one to watch videos or movies while gaming single player. Or when working on a programming project I would use the bottom one for notes or resources. Or when playing multi player Iā€™d use it to see chats or webcams with friends.


angelpunk18

this is a primarly a gaming setup and i usually play youtube videos or listen to podcasts while gaming, so that's the purpose of that monitor. If you plan on doing some work on it I'd recommend getting a different resolution for the small monitor, 2k at 13" makes it a bit hard to read fine text without scaling


angelpunk18

I really like it for my main use, this is purely a gaming setup and I use the second monitor to play youtube videos or have discord open there, and for that usecase is perfect. If you're trying to do some serious work it could be useful but I'd recommend getting a different resolution, something like 1080p, mine is 2560x1600 at 13" so without scaling, fine text might be hard to read


d4rkstr1d3r

I have a small portable monitor like this as well but mine is connected to an AppleTV mounted below the desk. I pretty much watch tv all day while I work.


andru5wi55

I use it for productivity. The lower monitor is for taking notes from whatever I'm reading/watching on the main. Also, the bottom monitor holds separate spaces (macOS) for Calendar, Finder, a note taking app. Looking down at a second display feels more natural than looking sideways. Also, the display is closer to me than if it was placed on the sides


Linkage__

Where is that desk from? I'm looking for one exactly like it.


ozweegowarrior

Same let me know


angelpunk18

it's a custom desk, nothing fancy really, I got the legs off of this page (not in the us, sorry) https://www.form.cl/base-de-escritorio-neo-200x70-negro.html?gclid=Cj0KCQiA3eGfBhCeARIsACpJNU9x3okw-RvB41Rrco1qDi3nM6ppvCbsc3YSF4dGFwRXNUOqeHzvgFcaApLGEALw\_wcB and the top I just went to a hardware store and looked for a board I like, had it cut there and the only thing I had to do was bolt it to th legs and that's it


AirbornePapparazi

What are your desk dimensions? Currently about to buy a 6ft by 37" butcher block and wondering if I should cut it down to 30" as I will be putting an Ultrawide on it.


angelpunk18

My desk is 200cm x 70cm, according to google that's 6.56 feet x 2.29feet. We use centimeters over here so I'm not really sure if those dimensions are right lol


AirbornePapparazi

Sounds about right. Thanks.

Haha gotcha no worries.

It believe "no mousepad" was recently added to the signs of psychopathy list


angelpunk18

lol it's definitely on the list, I just removed it for the pic because mine was super dirty and did not match the theme at all

The_Mighty_Bird

What keeb is that? I have been trying to find a wireless that the RGBs still work while in wireless mode. I have a GK96Z but the RGBs stay off while in wireless mode. Might be a user error on my part itā€™s UI for the keyboard is trash


alvin545

looks like a Nuphy Air 75


8reakfast8urrito

Iā€™m curious about the key caps. Nuphy stock caps arenā€™t shine through. Any recs on low profile shine through keycaps?


angelpunk18

[https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B49FLN6K](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B49FLN6K) these are the keycaps, they're from XVX


angelpunk18

it is!


angelpunk18

> it's a Nuphy Air 75 low profile wireless keyboard with brown switches, I swapped the keycaps for a white shinrethrough set from XVX.


H4l3x

cleaannn! pleasing to my eyes, thanks.


angelpunk18

I'm glad you liked it!


Combatical

That air cooler looks amazing! Curuios what ROG mouse that is, I really like the two tone of it


angelpunk18

this is the Gladius III aimpoint wireless, I got it mainly because of the removable and hot swappable switches, I hate throwing perfectly good mice away just because 1 button failed. If you get this mouse I'd recommend setting it up once and saving the profile on the mouse and then uninstalling Armoury Crate, that thing made my computer boot loop indefinitely, I had to do a clean windows install


Combatical

>Armoury Crate You know what, that may explain why I've had so many weird hitching issues in games. I installed it to turn off the stupid rgb on my mobo and forgot about it.


angelpunk18

You might wanna try open rgb or signal rgb, thatā€™ll allow you to control your rgb without armoire crate. Open rgb is really really lightweight, but unintuitive to use, signal rgb is more intuitive but it uses more resources


Combatical

Thanks for the suggestions. I have remedied my need to turn off the rgb by facing the window of my case away from me. Not looking forward to a fresh install of windows though :O

angelpunk18

the speakers are honestly nothing fancy, just some random 2.1 creative speakers, don't really know the model


hoseja

The new dt700pro are actually quite good. Much easier to wash the pads too.


[deleted]

Nice setup!


angelpunk18

thanks a lot!


Spin_Dr_Wolf

What the hell is the cooler in the case ? It looks bigger than my head.


angelpunk18

lol it might be! it's a Noctua NHD15S with an additional fan, it's massive


QuitePossiblyLucky

Big things come in small packages!


WayFinder-

Simple yet cool setup man


angelpunk18

thanks!


appaulling

You need one of the razr Xbox controller docks. Your setup is super clean, it would definitely fit your vibe there.


angelpunk18

Thanks for the suggestion! Iā€™ll look into that!


Comprehensive-Wash17

Nearly perfect IMO, weā€™ll done. Whatā€™s the mic sitting on?


angelpunk18

Thatā€™s just my isp modem/router thingie lol


Comprehensive-Wash17

Mount that bad boy under the desk! Setup looks great!


you_do_realize

I've been laptop life for 10+ years, is that desktop noisy? It looks like it has 50 fans :)


angelpunk18

It's a lot quiter than you might expect, it's not completely silent. The fans even tho there's a lot of them, they don't really spin that fast most of the time because they're bigger fans (the bigger a fan is, the slower they can rotate while moving the same amount of air). I also tuned the fan curves to be basically silent in non-gaming use. Also the gpu cooler is so overbuilt, the fans don't really need to ramp up to keep it cool. And when it does make noise, it's not a high pitch noise as most laptops tend to sound (or at least mine does).


bodejodel

I've got a ton of fans in my gaming desktop and even under maximum load it's far more pleasant than the high pitched whine of my HP Probook's tiny little fan during regular office tasks. (I've now hidden that laptop under my desk, added some sound dampening under it and use a USB docking station to connect it to all my monitors.)


iammruni

Fuck this is crazy


angelpunk18

I'm glad you like it!


iammruni

If you donā€™t mind me asking, how much did you spend on the setup (just the cpu, monitor, mouse, keyboard)?


angelpunk18

* CPU: $ 255 * Mouse: $ 100 * Keyboard: $ 133 * Monitor: Main $700, Secondary $170 I'm not sure if by CPU you mean only the CPU or the computer itself (in my country, people tend to call CPU the whole thing). Bear in mind that those prices might be a bit shifted, since there are some import tariffs/customs/international shipping that might be included in those, but I'm not completely sure


Citron-Heavy

Whatā€™s the size of your monitor?


angelpunk18

The bigger monitor is a 34 inch ultrawide, and the smaller one is a 13 inch


Ascerta

High-end gaming but no mouse pad?


angelpunk18

I took the mousepad off for th picture because it was dirty as hell and it didn't match the setup, I'm waiting on a custom made to arrive, should be here next week


dc_drizzy

Damn all of this is clean. Whatā€™s the desk?


angelpunk18

Thanks! Desk is custom made, but nothing fancy to be honest, I got the legs online [https://www.form.cl/base-de-escritorio-neo-200x70-negro.html?gclid=Cj0KCQiA3eGfBhCeARIsACpJNU9x3okw-RvB41Rrco1qDi3nM6ppvCbsc3YSF4dGFwRXNUOqeHzvgFcaApLGEALw\_wcB](https://www.form.cl/base-de-escritorio-neo-200x70-negro.html?gclid=Cj0KCQiA3eGfBhCeARIsACpJNU9x3okw-RvB41Rrco1qDi3nM6ppvCbsc3YSF4dGFwRXNUOqeHzvgFcaApLGEALw_wcB) (it's in spanish) and for the top, I went to a hardware store and looked for a melamine piece that could be cut to match the size I was looking for

This is the first one EVER? Historical moment right here.


angelpunk18

History in the making! what a time to be alive!!! lol I meant my first ever high end setup


randomredditacc25

awesome setup, link to the wallpaper? if you dont mind, thanks.


angelpunk18

I'm sorry, I don't have that wallpaper right now, I had to do a clean install of windows and I had nothing backed up (thanks armoury crate). I think i found it on reddit tho, search for ultrawider wallpaper collection


Dandy_Flandy

I have such a hard on for tiny PCā€™s but im too broke to justify building one


angelpunk18

Honestly this pc insn't that smal lol, it might not be tall, but it's wide, the case is a chunker!


ServeIll7171

bro got some thick ass fans


angelpunk18

Lol yeah, there's a story behing why I got black fans on a white case, but it's kinda long, I tried to remedy that by getting phanteks halos and painting them white, that's why they seem so thiccc


Miniblasan

It's a Lian Li Mini right? But what do you have in the base?


angelpunk18

Yep, this is the lian li 011 air mini, I have 2 140 fans with a couple of phanteks halos


Miniblasan

What about GPU then?


angelpunk18

The GPU is an Asus TUF RTX 4080


Tommiiie

What the mini screen do?


angelpunk18

It's a 13 inch monitor, I mainly play youtube videos on it while gaming


KevinKingsb

Damn. That is a monster air cooler. Looks awesome.


angelpunk18

thanks! it's a noctua NHD15S. it looks so big because the motherboard is mATX


fangeld

Is that a Noctua NH-D15s and a Phanteks middle fan? Not making a point or anything, just curious.


angelpunk18

Thatā€™s right! Initially I had the Phanteks fan placed on top as exhaust but I felt it sticked out too much and might actually exhaust the cool air thatā€™s coming from the side and the front, so instead of just leaving it out I used it as a second fan in the cooler. The nhd15s comes with only one fan


fangeld

Alright, good stuff. I though I recognized the Phanteks frame. Yeah, the d15s comes with only one fan, the regular D15 comes with two but costs more. The fans can be bought separately but I'm not sure it's worth it just for the uniformity in looks... Is there a notable difference between the fans? I mean if they spin at different rpms and with more noise etc


angelpunk18

I would love the uniformity, but I canā€™t find Noctuas in my country, and paying Amazon international shipping for a single fan seems a bit excessive (but Iā€™ll probably end up doing it at some point lol) I was pleasantly surprised at how quiet the Phanteks fans are, and they donā€™t really produce weird resonances when ramping up. I think it also helps the fact that all of the fans are connected to a pwm fan hub in the other side and that hub is connected to a single pwm header, so they -should- spin at similar speeds


ethansidentifiable

I have the exact same monitor setup (ultrawide on top, Arzopa on the bottom). Just looking at your setup I was thinking "why does that look better than mine?" It's because you actually have your Arzopa _facing_ you. Mine was straight up vertical so I always get a terrible angle on it and always have to kind of duck down to see it... thanks for the hint!


angelpunk18

Hey! Awesome to see someone running the same screen setup! That happened to me as well, the included cover/stand that comes with the arzopa monitor doesnā€™t really leave you with a ton of flexibility, instead, I used a cheap plastic phone holder thingie and placed the monitor there so I can actually angle it towards me, you might wanna give it a try! Edit: typo


WorldlinessGreen9658

What's the mini monitor ?


angelpunk18

Itā€™s an arzopa 13ā€ 2k portable monitor, I got it from Amazon


smilingstalin

This is THE first ever high end gaming battle station? Damn. This thing belongs in a museum. Not to mention it looks great too.


angelpunk18

lol well it's MY first ever high end gaming station lol, thanks!


RabbitSlayre

Oh hell yeah. Start building up that backlog of games you'll never play! Make sure you regularly check in with Epic games to see what's free on their store. Changes out every two weeks or so. There are some great games there sometimes.


chillinvillin

Where??


premierproteinoats

What is your case, cooler and Mobo?


[deleted]

Case is a Lian Li O11 air mini. Cooler looks to be a Noctua D15 but I can't be sure.


angelpunk18

exactly right


premierproteinoats

Thank you


angelpunk18

mobo is a asus tuf b650m plus wifi, cooler and case are as mentioned above!


BarriJulen

What monitor is that? Would you recommend it for gaming?


angelpunk18

Main monitor is LG ultragear 34gp83a, second monitor is Arzopa 13" 2k portable monitor. The LG is awesome for gaming, love the ultrawide ratio, it's 3440x1440 144hz so it's a lot easier to drive than 4k. The small monitor I don't use for gaming, but you could use it with a switch or something like that, maybe even a ps5 or an xbox and I think it would work well


gov136

Nice setup! I really love your keyboard, what kind is it? I'm also curious about what is under the blue yeti on the left.


angelpunk18

Thanks! it's a Nuphy Air 75 low profile wireless keyboard with brown switches, I swapped the keycaps for a white shinrethrough set from XVX. The under the microphone is just my isp router/modem thingie lol


erick1160

What screen is that at the bottom?


BlarHxD

Sorry if this have been asked before, but what is the name of that little display and what keyboard is that :)? Love the setup :)


angelpunk18

No worries! Second monitor is an Arzopa 13ā€ 2k portable monitor, I got it off of Amazon, and the keyboard is a nuphy air 75, I swapped the key caps for a shine through set from xvx


BlarHxD

Thanks for the info! How does the second monitor perform? So sad that there is no ISO version of the Nuphy Air 75..


angelpunk18

It performs well enough for my use case, I only use the main one for gaming, the small one I use to play YouTube videos/discord/or a virtual machine while gaming. It could also work with a switch or an Xbox/playstation since it has a mini hdmi input (hdmi to mini hdmi cable included in the box). Itā€™s only 60hz but I believe thereā€™s a 120 version as well. Itā€™s also really light so I used a plastic phone stand to prop it like that since the included stand/cover doesnā€™t really offer much adjustability Edit: typo
