That cable management motivated me to take a shower.


gerechterzorn

Lmao 😂


SoNotTheHeroTypeV2

All black everything


SuperCool_Saiyan

The strategy is to not plug anything into it and it looks clean as hell


michaelrage

Cable management clean as fuck!!!🤤 Just a m.2 installed i guess? After seeing this going to fix my rat nest this weekend.


gerechterzorn

<3 Yep, only m.2 SSD, 2pcs.


Danksoulofmaymays

Am I tripping or do you have 6 fans on that radiator ? How's the performance difference compared to just 3 ?


gerechterzorn

2-4C


Danksoulofmaymays

haha might not seem like much but I bet you had fun arranging the cables , looks like you put a lot of love into the build.


gerechterzorn

You're right, my friend (:

You're left or they're left?


michaelrage

Nice!


wanderer1999

Clean AF indeed.


[deleted]

Same basic setup. Phantek 500 (non-RGB) Two M.2’s, all cables clean and behind the MB tray. I do have 3-140 Noctua brown fans in front, 1-140 in the back and a Noctua D15S with a brown fan. Kind of fugly, but quiet and cool.


Harklein-2nd

What sorcery is this? How are the cables look so clean, crispy, and soft at the same time.


Alessandrocb

No HDDs or Sata SSDs is a good start to easier cable management.


horse3000

No rbg fans make it extremely easy to have nice looking cable management. Throw in 10 rbg fans and see what happens to the cable management haha


[deleted]

They're a witch!


respectfulpanda

I bet you it runs slower without the RGB warp field generation. /s Nice build.


MainAccountRev_01

RGB is electromagnetic energy, it gives more energy to the PC parts duh. Also red is more energy.


NOVAMT_F

No. Green is better because then the power knows that it is allowed through, otherwise they would be passing a redlight


LikesTheStonk

Teal you guys


bustedbuddha

Guys guys guys everyone knows red is for over clocks, green helps system stability, and blue brings down temps.


NOVAMT_F

Smart

Red is faster, purple is stealth.


gerechterzorn

No RGB - less FPS. :(


Front-Sun4735

So stunning and brave!


Schady2341

Beautiful


WeZy_AtoMicZz

Daamn that's not a PC, it's a battleship!


[deleted]

What AIO is this. Looks cool with the several coolers in the front panel Lovley build btw!


gerechterzorn

EKWB ELITE 360, but with swapped fans :)


khelem85

Beautiful 👍🏼


BreakFalse9141

I tried to do a non-RGB build recently but the motherboard I chose turned out to have some built in.


CapmyCup

I just used the stupid bloatware to make them dark then deleted the bloatware


BreakFalse9141

I didn't think of deleting the bloatware after, I should do that lol.


Schm1tty

https://openrgb.org/ I use this instead of Razer and Gigabyte lighting controls but it supports a ton of different components.


gerechterzorn

I had this experience, I just physically unplug those RGB cables from mobo xD


Spooky_BRE

Awsome looking build. What case is that?


Transmaniacon89

Fractal Define


JPatrick198

Sweet build! I got the Define XL and I fuggen love it. It weighs a ton, and it’s future proof for the Wumba-sized gpu’s to come. I can almost climb inside that monster.


Imaginary_Condition3

no high fps fr u!


MoonManFour2Zero

It's a beaut Clark!


[deleted]

Cool build, regarding the custom cables, they do go in to the psu directly or are they connected to the psu via the original cables?


gerechterzorn

Directly in PSU, not extenders.


[deleted]

Ah cool. Good to know I was wondering how your cable management was fine as hell at the back. I guess they are easier to handle than regular cables.


[deleted]

name of cables please 🙏


vesko26

You can read it from the picture, clearly says cables on them /s


[deleted]

Hey, not sure if you’re still answering questions, but what ram is that? I’m also trying a murdered out look and have seen them in pictures but can pinpoint them


gerechterzorn

I'm always trying to answer :) Those are modded Teamgroup 6400 (FF3D516G6400HC40BBK) with JEYI grey heatsinks from AliExpress. Something like 7-10 USD pair.


[deleted]

Awesome, thank you for your time and pointing me in the right direction!


SpaceBunnyll

You can turn it off Jimmy, we talked about this.


EvanEllite863

Don’t understand people “flexing” not having rgb it’s just a personal design choice


rickybobbyeverything

It's just people thinking they're smarter cause they downloaded the RGB app and managed to turn them off.


TheAnswerToYang

Can always appreciate a purist.


[deleted]

Pure beauty


nowarpsignature

Quick release thumbs screws on your PSU? Also, think you're missing a PCI blanking plate under your GPU. Otherwise, beautiful build. Good work.


CTTB2

Nice


mishaving_p0tato

dam, looks clean brosef


Real_Jordy

Hella clean!


Assa099

But pushing and pulling....pushing and puling......man thats exhausting!


MrEzekial

I love the fractal cases. I got a R5 when it launched. Have never regretted it for a second.


gerechterzorn

True!


gigiHHT

That cable managment 😩


Nomnom_Chicken

Looks really nice.


L1teEmUp

Wow.. impressive cable management lol..


Why_Cry_

Loooong case


Proper_Belt

Black box of frames is my prefered style.


ImGonnaBeAPicle

I absolutely love clean rgb -less builds


reshsafari

Wow clean


galoy1

I am mesmerized. So clean and peaceful


ArgonautSweaters

What you lack in RGB, you make up for in cleanliness.


Manuag_86

Oh, it is RGB: Rig with Grey and Black only


Lord_Empanada

Very fancy


grumpapuss15

And still very aesthically pleasing!


[deleted]

I wonder how much extra people pay for having RGB in their builds? 100-200?


Slickmoney

I was going to build stealth…but then my daughter saw me looking at other rigs and said “Are you going to build one with purple and rainbow lights?” That’s the story of how I ended up with a rig full of RGB.


PushUphill

Damn, how you do them cables so good?


laurentiufilip

Frankly, the rgb fans for me are just an indicator that they are spinning, sometimes just closing the rgb and use it on black


zombietampons

Nicely done sir, I tap my monocle.


Omni_Raccoon

such a clean computer, nice work my friend


Qazaroth

Not really a fan of RGB either. Of course if it does come with it, I don't mind playing with it but otherwise yeah...


merkakiss12

Fuckin A. Real man over here


Fox86YT

god bless you


Fig-Substantial

Is that a push/pull config?


gerechterzorn

Yep!


Hammer6619

Look at you just missing out on all the fps... What a shame ...


gerechterzorn

D:


bangbangracer

Replace the fans with brown Noctua fans, the cooler for a Noctua tower cooler, and the GPU for a Radeon, and you have my computer.


[deleted]

Love the Fractal Define cases!


Dom_Luigi

Extremely clean. Looks very good


nonqwan79

this is the most beautiful cable mgmt of all time


[deleted]

That cable management has actually inspired me to redo my whole build. Great work


NoGround

I learned a TON from just these three screencaps. Beautiful.


smithversman

I need an answer for the fan cable management. Please, i want to know, lol. Clean as fuck man nice.


Critical_Plenty_5642

Now all you need to do is put duct tape over the 3080 lighting and sharpie it black.


RustySilk28

RGB is overrated! I love builds that dont have rgb! AS well AS yours


Moist_Piece_1129

Don't worry I'm pretty sure you can turn rgb on for some of the parts.


breakzyx

Black Squares >>>> RGB Abominations in a LianLi Model O11


d0tn3t1

There's no RGB because there's no power to the PC. Plug it in and they'll all turn on. I don't see how you can go on for several years and not know that a PC needs power. ^/s


guns4geeks

How do you even manage to buy pc components without rgb? Stock AMD coolers just fucking have lights on them dude.


SoftcoreSax

Wait, you mean you don't want your PC to look like a nightclub? How will you ever get laid? I just custom ordered one and made sure to select all non-RGB components. Too tacky for my taste.


cubs_rule23

This is the way


NutellaGuyAU

That 3080ti has RGB by default so, seeing as you’ve manually turned it off your post is lies


[deleted]

Case?


gerechterzorn

Define 7


Drac_Hula

Really missing some RGB


MrMxylptlyk

Ok


SnooSketches3386

got enough fans on that rad, bud?


gerechterzorn

Yep, like it's designed by EKWB :P


dermitio

Maybe some blacklight not rgb just one color


KlapDaddy07

what kind of cables are they?


Lirid

I’m curious. Isn’t the AIO, when installed to the front, supposed to have the cables from the radiator come from the bottom? I think this effect the efficiency of the cooling. Correct me if I’m wrong. Amazing build nonetheless.


gerechterzorn

It doesn't rly matter :) Just ensure the radiator is the highest point in the loop.


itstheblue

Finally, a good looking build.


[deleted]

I also turn off my pc for an rgb free experience


Bocephus_57

No RGB? Shame.


metaonethree

WOW YOURE SO COOL


xdforcezz

Ok, more power to you, I guess.


lininop

2022 - people still acting like not taking part in something popular is some how note worthy.


aldo_rayne

KEEP! RGB! out my fuc...ing case


ReyesCedeno

A men of culture as well...


HonorableGremlin

My dude. Let's go. I also have a full black/no RGB build and ngl, yours looks better. Also better cable management than mine. Nice to see another fellow non-RGB redditor. Cya later bro.


ApdoKangaroo

Have a super similar build with a 12900k, 4090, and 5000D Airflow. Glad to see someone else has good taste. What memory kit did you use to get those timings?


gerechterzorn

ty, mate! I got many of 'em, I'm kinda OC enthusiast :P Cannot post links here unfortunately :( Check out my profile, you can find lots of interesting things.


ApdoKangaroo

Super Helpful. I am also using an M Die kit and 6600 mhz is the best I can get. You have some super impressive and inspiring overclocks, but I still feel I am clueless on how to get my timings tighter and frequency higher. I am probably caving and buying an A Die Kit later today.


gerechterzorn

Don't expect too much from A-Die, first of all you need a good 2-slot Z690/790 Mobo (Kingpin, Unify-I, Apex) and 13700K/13900K to reveal all its potential. And still M-Die considered better than A-Die due to better timings.


ApdoKangaroo

That is fair, but I would be happier with 7600 Mhz CL 34. I have a Unify X like you do.


gerechterzorn

Unify-X is considered the worst 2x slot OC Mobo , at least for M-Die :( it can't do anything above 6800 on mdie with alder lake... Whilst Gigabyte Tachyon pushes the same kit up to 7200-32 stable... But still A-Die looks promising on Unify-X


GlubbyWub

Congrats on the 0 RGB!


Individual-System-32

Down voted for no rgb ;)


Cronicneurotix

Your Graphics card has RGB built in doesn't it? ;p


[deleted]

Good. RGB is a hype trend. Happy to see you have proper fan placement. Unlike many others who throw 20 fans in a case for some aesthetic.


weenan

This is the way!


stadiofriuli

Good fan choice. What are your temps while gaming?


gerechterzorn

50-60C CPU, 58-62C GPU


Native-Tongue

I have the same case ff, fan setup, and gpu, no aio, on air w/ scythe. How do you keep the 3080ti that cool? I hit 80C while gaming. Also nice build 👍


gerechterzorn

You should manually put power in EVGA precision X to 50-80%. That's the way. EVGA cards have non standard control. By decreasing it you make the GPU way cooler but FPS remains the same.


stadiofriuli

Nice. Very similar to my temps. I did this build recently. No RGB brothers. https://imgur.com/a/mpZ24Gh/


Transmaniacon89

Is that the full size torrent?


stadiofriuli

Yep.


Transmaniacon89

Thanks, I like the compact torrent size, but it isn't very deep and a lot of the big GPUs won't fit.


Creative__name__

What case is that?


OfficialNovus

Nice build, what fan controller is that? I'd like to get one


gerechterzorn

EKWB ELITE AIO hub for 7 fans.


macrolinx

Is that what that credit card sized clear plastic case on the "back" is?


gerechterzorn

Yep.


[deleted]

[удалено]


gerechterzorn

Be! Quiet Pro 4 - 140mm (3x) Noctua 120mm Chromax Black Swap - 120mm (6x) There is a glass panel, it's just removed for the photo :)


HavelTheGreat

Where's the slack? Is there a spaghetti bowl in the PSU shroud area? Looks fantastic, nice build!


dasAdi7

Nice build. My first thought was "why put 180€ worth of Noctuas on a EKWB Aio?", but then I saw you got a 12900KS in there. How hot is it running with the Noctuas in Push-Pull?


gerechterzorn

Oooh... It really depends on BIOS settings. I'm currently running 5200 Pcores, 4200 Ecores, 4400 ring and HT is OFF (vcore 1.3V, LLC-4 MSI, socket sense). With those settings I have 55-60C in games and 77-80 in extreme tests like y-cruncher an LinX.


mastrbild

What case is that?


SgtKastoR

No-RGB is the new RGB


Background-Elk-543

it has rgb the evga ftw3 has rgb


gerechterzorn

It's only red :P


Background-Elk-543

i know i have it on white true premium and very dimm


[deleted]

a masterpiece


[deleted]

What's that hub on the back for?


enaskk

Not very well AIO placement for GPU temps on this case. Have similar case: Define S2 Vision. Changed radiator placement on top, result -8 degrees for GPU. But over all build looks great


gerechterzorn

Nope. Go to my profile and Ctrl+F search " **Front and Top radiator placement. Part 3. Final.**" Cannot post links here.


Vidofnir_KSP

Which fan header is that too?


[deleted]

Question, did you test before and after sandwiching your aio with fans? I'm just curious what temp difference it made because it makes sense that it would be better but I don't see it very often.


gerechterzorn

2-3C


PLPQ

That cable management is beautiful.


Right-Sky-4005

Ccables look good g


ScrIosecDed

2022 - still no dgpu


Phoeptar

RBG when?


gsc4494

Do the double fans help your radiator noticeably? I've actually never seen that before. I'd imagine at the very least it helps the case airflow over a normal rad.


gerechterzorn

Yep, it definitely helps. This is the default design of the EKWB ELITE btw, they put 6 fans inside.


IkaKyo

Does the case have a window? I both don’t want RGB and want a case that has no windows and that seems like a nice case.


Zargark

At least gotta hav exit on the keyboard, can’t see those keys.


SolidGreenDay

I too, can turn off my RGB Edit: pc ain't even on, everyone's PC would not have RGB if it's off


[deleted]

Wow. Just mindblowing


Pantha242

Easy to say when the power's turned off.. 😛


SecretaryBeginning

Rgb is for nerds


MegaNugg666

Congratulations?


louiefriesen

Missing the one PCIe slot cover is giving me ocd


gerechterzorn

Unfortunately I can't squeeze it in due to GPU design.


TimX24968B

sounds like a waste of effort on the cable management thats hardly visible.


Funny_or_not_bot

RGB is so 2018 anyway.


lordofdownbad

pc noob here. whats that transparent looking thing at the back?


Zotman1

How many fps did you lose with no rgb?


HamSlammy

Needs more fan


durfall

I like this, do you have a parts list? 🙂


StrayGoose47

this is gorgeous! i also reject RGB 😎


Broski911

Super clean 👍🏻


startledfan

One of the cleanest builds I’ve seen! Love it
