I can think of at least 2 uses for that and now I want it
Use 1: Bright ass temp in obvious LED glory
Use 2: graph of same data over the last x amount of y time unit
I repurposed my POST status LEDs to show CPU temp after the PC has booted, but I like the graph idea. I’d use it to show data from GPU-Z.
Lit PC setups are nice and all until you try to go to sleep with them in the same room. I miss plain old PC cases that hide their components so I can seed overnight.
I picked up a Monsterlabo case, fully enclosed fanless, just vent at bottom ans top. No lights, no fans…best PC decision for a machine that stays on to run containers at night while main PC during day
Just put it to sleep, I don’t understand leaving the PC on 24/7
Does it keep on seeding in sleep mode then? Thought that it halted all processes.
I figured the types who seed a lot also are likely to have a little low power server to handle it instead of the high idle draw of a gaming PC.
But if a gaming PC was intended to be on 24/7, then putting RGB and screens in it and putting it where one sleeps seems like a backwards move lol. Might as well save the pile of money from that and make it a silent build with no lights.
Normally you can turn off all the lights
I can do it for the video card but some lights on the mobo are for status so that’s not easily doable.
You guys don‘t turn off you computer when going to sleep?
Thats what sleep mode is for.
Maybe I am oldschool or just german but I always shutdown the system and then also turn off the Steckdosenleiste (what is the english word? Power strip?)
I kinda liked the AIO water blocks with circle screens for simple animation loops. Can look pretty cool. Not into this scene personally at all, but I can appreciate it’s appealing to blinged out case enjoyers.
Like RGB lighting in general, those are things I only enjoy putting in other people’s computers.
Looks like they put a magsafe holder on it and threw an old phone on there
Soon - “play doom on your antec water cooler!”
I know very little about these things (why do I need pretty lights in my computer? My GPU has a big, useless white light that I wish I could turn off) but one thing I THINK I know is that that’s installed the wrong way around, no? Shouldn’t the pump be on top? So that any air bubbles don’t gather at whatever you’re cooling?

Have you tried OpenRGB? It may not support your specific GPU but it’s worth checking.
I have, it doesn’t, but thank you.
Air bubbles rise in liquid, so the pump needs to be below the reservoir to avoid bubbles.
Wait, but that’s what I’m asking. Why are bubbles at the pump not okay? Don’t I want no air at all the other end for ideal cooling?Edit: I misunderstood this entire setup. Disregard me, thank you for your efforts to explain stuff to sleep deprived me.
