Yeah they are getting harder to find. I still found some here that look identical to the ones I got, but they're more expensive than the set I got when I wrote this post. https://controller.works/products/kailh-low-profile-pudding-keycap-set Also found a set of white for the same price as what I got, though the black like at many places is sold out. https://chosfox.com/collections/low-profile-keycaps/products/chosfox-kailh-choc-low-profile-keycaps-104keys?variant=41443243851970 There may be other places. What you want to google or your search engine of choice is "kailh low profile keycaps" or "kailh choc low profile keycaps."

Damn good call. Thank you sir. Just looked up the old 650 I'm using and its 5v is 30amps. It's the Corsair TX650. FFS so GB not only put out a POS PSU, they couldn't even make it as good as one from 8 years ago. Assuming it worked as it's suppose to I mean. lol Anyone have any ideas what the hell I should do with it?

I'm in the process of moving so I've had mine boxed up for a couple of weeks and didn't get a chance to check serial numbers until today. Mine is the 850W #SN21113G011565. Now here's the thing. I don't even need a full power PSU, certainly not 850W. I already have a Corsair RM850X for my PC. What I want to use it for since there is no point in selling it for like the probably 40 bucks I could get for it, assuming it's even ethical to sell it to begin with or anyone would buy it. All I "need" it for is to replace this old 650W unmodular one that have mounted under my desk that is powering 7 Corsair lighting node pros which is running all my exterior to the PC lighting. https://i.imgur.com/5wXstVO.jpg From what I can figure, maxed out at 4.5 amps for each lighting node pro, which they aren't nearly being BTW that's just the max they can handle. That's 31.5 amps. Converting that to watts at 5 volts would be 157.5 watts. So do people think this newer 850 would be safe running that little? And bear in mind that's just max. If I had to guesstimate it should be more like 120-130W or so. It's just a bunch of LED strips. Granted it's 14 lighting channels worth but still. Most aren't even the full 60 LED per channel.

Texture wise they are a tad rougher when new which I did like more at first but now they feel as smooth as stock keycaps already which doesn't bother me either. The only ones I can still feel rougher are ones I never use like scrollock, printscreen, etc. But it's only ROUGHER mind you. It's not rough. They're weren't all that rough to begin with. In my original pic it's just catching the light and makes them look rougher then they actually are. This is them today. I tried to catch them in a better light with the stock space bar this time. And I really don't do all that much typing for them to have worn down much. I mostly just game with it. IDK on your other questions, sorry.

Thanks dmx looks interesting but it so expensive. It's more for like professional settings for DJs and the like.

I had already found similar. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RDKRW5T/ref=sspa_dk_detail_1?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B07RDKRW5T&pd_rd_w=3Zdcz&pf_rd_p=91afecf5-8b2e-41e2-9f11-dc6992c6eaa1&pd_rd_wg=VWBMq&pf_rd_r=WC056TTG1NCKDGRSGWCG&pd_rd_r=0d42624f-d854-4f67-8a3d-d0568d57d762&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzOTFGQlBZQUMyOE81JmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNTEwODAxM0ZGN0ZDRlg2REFLRSZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwODk1Mjg5MTVNVDhaSVZKWFRaNyZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2RldGFpbCZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU= But it specifically says "Each channel can control the same quantity of LED pixels as main controller." So I'd have to splice it in after 132 LED that the Corsair controller would be giving me. lol I have no idea how I'd hide it up on top of the wall next to the ceiling. Plus it's looking like this isn't a feasible idea to begin with. All the long reel strips I'm coming across are all using 12v because 5v power drops off too much making the colors not show correctly after the first couple of meters or so. So I'd have to splice in more power to them and just like that signal amplifier I don't know how I'd hide that either. Oh well. I guess I'm stuck with something like govee or learning arduino. Govee's app seems to have up to like 60 something different modes now but you can't even change their colors. Their DIY part on their app just lets you change sections. Arduido looks really neat though. There are sooo many neat LED products out there like sheets that arduino can control. Just seems so complicated.

Before when it was 60 LED it only had the PSU sata cable's 4.5 amps limits. The LS100 system uses a wall plug for power. So they probably just didn't bother to let you be able to program more then you should be able to use to begin with? IDK. Just guessing.

I've tried to run past the normal amount ICUE could address before though. Power wasn't the issue. IE when they use to only allow 60 LED when selecting normal LED strips and I tried to run more only 60 would light. Then when ICUE had the LS100 system added that now lets you address 132 LED I could light that many still using the same power source. These WS2812B are actually the ones I used in both sets of towers. 100 per meter in the taller and 144 per meter in the smaller towers. https://www.amazon.com/BTF-LIGHTING-Flexible-Individually-Addressable-Non-waterproof/dp/B01CDTEJBG

I've done several different projects like making my own versions of the LT100 towers and adding LED to lava lamps. All ICUE controlled. Now I want to see if I can mange to control a really long reel of LED with ICUE to put in corner channels similar to what I used for the towers around my room. I remember coming across a thread on reddit a while back and a user talked about something like a data repeater? I can't remember exactly and stupidly didn't save the thread, but he had an actual diagram. But now I can't find it and I'm having trouble finding something that would work. IDK about LED outside of ICUE. lol I just learned how to solder doing these projects so I'm still a newb. What I need for power I can figure out. I just can't figure out how to get the data down the line of that many LED. ICUE's max is 132 LED that can be addressed. I'm not happy with all the remotes and apps that come with those long reel LED strips. Too simplistic. Not a one can layer multiple modes. Few even so much as has DIY modes more then setting your own color. So syncing them to ICUE would be awesome. Does anyone know something that could help with that?

I knew those keys would take extensive modding so I left well enough alone. Kudos on the attempt though. How are you liking Ghub? I'm hating it. Major step backwards compared to LGS. Only had mine since November and I've already had to reinstall it 3 times and I've had to use my settings.json backup another 3 times. The first reinstall cost me a complex lighting animation I spent hours making. lol I was sooo pissed. If you haven't read to do this you should backup your settings.json file so that doesn't happen to you. It has the profiles, animations you've made or DL, macros, and what have you. You'll find it in C:. Users. Whatever you've named the PC. Appdata. Local. LGHUB. I wish I had known to do that before hand. It's such a buggy software and all Logitech ever does with updates is just add new devices. It can't even install or update reliably. lol Ghub problems deserves its own subreddit. Sigh. Oh well the hardware is sure nice. Still my favorite keyboard and I've been using PC since the 80s and DOS.

Great. It's hard to have bad airflow with that many fan placement options. I've changed my setup since I wrote this. I'm still using the glass front instead of the mesh but I've changed the front 3 to Corsair LL and the bottom 120 is now a sensor panel. The 4 glass side 120 are LL. 2 Bottom PSU shroud are QL. Bottom middle 120 still Noctua. All intakes. Top 3 still Noctua 140. Rear 120 LL. AIO on back panel side now in push pull with 2 Noctua and a 120 Noctua under it. All exhaust. I switched out the fans because several of my Phantek fan frame blue LED burned out already. Phantek took care of me on the first one but I didn't want to have to keep going through support. Plus I like ICUE Corsair's fans. I also cut the glass side fan cage off and replaced the stock dust filter with magnetic demciflex dust filters. Looks a lot better like that and those filters are like fabric. And since I had extra fans after switching and still free fan headers I mounted a 120 and 140 off the EATX motherboard holes in the mid as boosters. And then because my last fan header looked lonely and just to see if I could I added 2 60 mm to the back, one over the empty PCIe slot and next to it. lol So I'm kinda cheating when it comes to airflow. But even when I was running it in stock config airflow wasn't an issue.

Oh for god's sake... I'm not controlling the lava. It was a JOKE. It's just a simple ICUE controlled LED mod for lava lamps. Are you serious with this? You're the one being ridiculous because you can't seem to understand SIMPLE satire. And I didn't insult you. You obviously needed to look up those words. I mean CLEARLY since you've now gone on to double down with all that. lol Up in here explaining to me how lava lamps work... As If I didn't just dump one out and redo almost LITERALLY 2 gallons worth of one. Did you even read any of my reddit thread? Oh and BTW you're talking out where the sun doesn't shine. This mod works just fine and others have not only done it but have sold several of them. You'd have learned that if you had read any of the links in the reddit thread. lol My favorite part of that idiocy was "resemble a lava lamp but isn’t one." Too funny. How the hell do you control melted oil based wax in water anyways?! Magic? Bahahaha! lol If I wasn't use to so many artards online by now you would have just pissed me right the hell off with this but since I am, have a nice day buddy. I going to go ahead and chalk all this up to you having a knee jerk reaction so I don't have to think you're some kind of idiot. Thanks for the laughs.

"Nothing can control lava lamps" lol Bruh. I want you to go ahead and look up a couple of words for me. Literal. Satire. Yes. That's why you need to shield them from the majority of the heat and use LED with a PCB that handle higher then standard PC world heat. But obviously it can be done. Because I just did it and so did others. I explained it all in my mini novel. You know they make LED to go in car's headlights that get really hot too, right? In fact that's one of these rings primary uses.

Look ma! I made something!!!! These are both run to a lighting node pro mounted under my desk which is being powered off a 650w PSU from an old PC. As soon as I get around to yanking all the LED rings I put in the middle of the grande, I'll make some neat modes in ICUE. I already tried some like color wave and it looks awesome until they hit the middle rings, never should have added those but oh well seemed like a good idea at the time. I wrote a how to with all avaible instructions, a short vid showing them off, and everything I bought to do the mod here on reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/Lavalamps/c...lava_lamp_mod/ I'm willing to trade them both for a 308 bwahahaha I couldn't even finish writing that... Sigh... Hopefully by this time next year I'll manage to get a 3080 strix. Or maybe the TI Strix. lol Or yeah maybe I'll get hit by lightning or win the lottery too...

I've since had to pull a couple and sand a bit more off them, but once done right there should be no problem with them staying on. But I also sanded down the plus symbol in the middle, yours is still there. You want it to sit as flat as possible so sand that off and it won't be able to easily rock off one side or the other. And you want the posts sanded to as close to a 90 degree right angle as you can manage with where the plus symbol is, which will also help it stay flat and stuck on. It really helped that the bit I was using has a flat end so it was able to take the plus off really easily and square up the posts as much as I could.

Thanks. This is my third PC but the first one I built myself so I wanted to go all out on the setup.

Every RGB item adds 5FPS...

lol The same thing anything sparkly is for. It's fun to look at. Why do you think humans have lusted after gold since like forever ago? Thanks I only have the most basic wood working tools and already had a sheet of acrylic. But I did consider wood. That would have been the next step if the acrylic didn't work out. I needed to do things like not only mount the channel but also run the wiring. An empty box is much easier to do that with than a block of wood. lol No, I said I didn't have that option to have it made for me. I said "but if I was able to have my own plastic housing made like they can." They can have things injection molded for specific products since they're making things to sell and already have the infrastructure and relationships with manufaturers. I don't know what that would cost me but I know it's more than I'd spend for these simple things.

Corsair's LT towers are neat and all. But not 200+ bucks neat for 2 of them, at least to my wallet. So I set out to see if I could make my own. They turned out well in my opinion. Certainly not as polished as Corsair's, but if I was able to have my own plastic housing made like they can, the costs would end up defeating the purpose in making them to begin with. But at least mine are taller and light better since they have way more densely packed together LED. I don't know how many are in the LT100 but mine have the full 60 LED that is the limit of one channel of a lighting node pro or commander pro. I went with these particular lens and channel combo because I didn't want any hot spots. So I picked the deepest channel and protruding lens as I could find. Now that I can see in person just how effective the frosted lens is, if I had to do over again I probably would have gone with the first ones I was looking at that would have put the pricing at around 40 bucks instead of the hundred with taxes and shipping. But live and learn I guess. https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/aluminum-channels/lipod-led-strip-channel-architectural/6388/14371/ https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/housing-accessories/g-l-cover-frosted/1424/4389/ https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/housing-accessories/lipod-end-cap/6412/14372/ https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/housing-accessories/gil-end-cap/1422/3327/ I used these 100 LED per meter strips to make the 60 LED I needed to run them off of Corsair's ICUE. 60 LED long would make them almost 24 inches tall. Almost as tall as my 43 inch Acer CG7 monitor. Which they were going next to so that matched up better than the 144 per meter that would make 60 LED only 16 inches tall. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B087TTFGHQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I already had an extra acrylic sheet left over from making a PSU shroud. But you can find them at most hardware stores for around 15-25 bucks per sheet. It's just a simple matter of measuring, scoring, and snapping. Then gluing them to make a box for the base. I didn't use glue though, I used a solvent specifically designed to weld acrylic that I also had left over. I think it was like 6 bucks if I remember correctly. The welds turn out stronger than the acrylic itself so it makes it much easier to sand. The boxes are 4x4x1 inch. Some weights so they stay stable. lol Which I'm glad they make. I was first thinking about something like just tossing a bunch of spare nuts, screws, and or washers in as weight. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RR13KDJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 A bit of modding on the end caps since they don't make them for that particular lens channel combo. lol Tried the solvent. Nope, wrong kind of plastic. So superglue gel worked good enough to bond and sand on. Some cable grommets. Which turned out to make it way simpler to assemble. I had kinda rigged up in my mind how to fix the channel to the base with some sort of L brackets, but those grommets and the hole I cut for them turned out perfect. So the only thing holding it vertically in place is the hole and grommet tension. Didn't need to reinforce it despite those weights adding 12 ounces to each tower. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B082H356GL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Painting them which lol just like making an acrylic PSU shroud, turned out to be the hardest part of the project for me. I don't know why but I always manage to screw it up. It'll either run and drip because I held it too close or long. Or lol a hair or dust will somehow get stuck and stand out like a sore thumb on acrylic. Just like the shroud I had to sand the paint off and do it twice on one of the tower bases. And this is what I ended up with. The color is a bit off on the vid and it doesn't do them justice. I just got this S10 plus phone and it suppose to have a good camera but I haven't looked into its settings yet. So I might have ended up spending more than I intended, but all in all I'm happy with the results. The fun of making something yourself is priceless after all. And if you're wondering what the red switch is on the desktop or why it's bare particleboard? I'm resurfacing the desk and waiting for the fake carbon fiber vinyl wrapping to arrive to finish. And the switch is to shut off all lighting outside my PC like behind the monitor, TV, and now these towers. I'm powering all those off of a 650W PSU I had laying around from an old PC that I mounted under the desk. So that switch lets me turn everything off without having to go under the desk to reach the PSU to do it. The lighting node pro used to control the towers is also mounted under the desk. All lighting aside from a couple of strips behind the monitor and TV is being controlled BY ICUE BTW. So what do you guys think? lol I'm so happy with them I'm already contemplating making 2 more only with the 144 LED per meter strips that would make the towers 16 inches tall to go next to these. The height progression down from the monitor might look good. But then again I don't know. I'd want them to match these so that would mean those channel lens combos again and it was already more than I wanted to spend to make the first 2. Maybe one day I'll make more. Oh and I almost forgot. As a bonus of making these it left me with 2 40 LED sections from what I cut off. So I soldered on 2 of these so now I have 2 extra 40 LED strips for behind the monitor or wherever. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NBSF724/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Thanks

Okily dokily neighbor, thank you.

So then would it be OK to tune it down low and not have to worry about it?

There is no splitter. The freezer routs the fan wires down the inside of hose's braided mesh cover and runs everything into one 4 pin cable.

I have the arctic liquid freezer 2 240 and both its fans, well 3 counting the little one, and the pump, are all run off of 1 4 pin header. I've heard you want your pump to be running at 100%. Is that right? And if so does lowering the fans effect pump speed? Asking because I have numerous fans and that's let me tune them all down to low RPM making them silent. But I've only kinda messed with the CPU header's fan curve because I don't what what that does to the pump. So how exactly does CPU headers work?

Got tired of waiting for a 3080 to come in stock and only had a GTX 660, so I picked up an EVGA 1070 SC on ebay for cheap. The only thing I've ever changed before was to set power management mode to prefer maximum performance and texture filtering quality to high performance. What should I set the rest of the control panel settings to?
