You can see on the right and on the left there's two RGB systems, both different colors, White/Black. I noticed how in the black -themed build, the RGB looks pretty different from the White-themed build. Is this because of the Difference between the LEDs in the cases, or is it because of the color/darkness/reflectivity inside the cases? Could this be about the camera used to film it?

The RGB appears dimmer on the white build because the studio lighting used to film this video is causing a lot of reflection, which is overpowering the RGB. In normal conditions, a black PC build with RGB will probably stand out slightly more than a white one, but I don't expect it to be nearly as obvious as it is here (unless you live in a movie studio, of course).

Main PC:

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X • Noctua NH-D15 • MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk • 2x8GB G.skill Trident Z Neo 3600MHz CL16 • MSI VENTUS 3X GeForce RTX 3070 OC • Samsung 970 Evo 1TB • Samsung 860 Evo 1TB • Cosair iCUE 465X RGB • Corsair RMx 750W (White)

 

Peripherals/Other:

ASUS VG27AQ • G PRO K/DA • G502 Hero K/DA • G733 K/DA • G840 K/DA • Oculus Quest 2 • Nintendo Switch (Rev. 2)

 

Laptop (Dell XPS 13):

Intel Core i7-1195G7 • Intel Iris Xe Graphics • 16GB LPDDR4x 4267MHz • 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD • 13.4" OLED 3.5K InfinityEdge Display (3456x2160, 400nit, touch). 

 

Got any questions about my system or peripherals? Feel free to tag me (@bellabichon) and I'll be happy to give you my two cents.

Alright. Is this true for the vibrancy of the RGB too?

Yes, of course it affects it. Way more on the camera, but still noticably.

 

Same if you had RGB lights in a room painted completely black vs completely white.

In real life, I act like I know less about tech than I actually do.

 

Main build: CPU: AMD Phenom ii X4 955 Black Edition @ 4,0GHz (Cooler Master 212) | GPU: MSI RX580 8Gb | RAM: 12Gb DDR3 | PSU: Chieftec CTB-500S  | Mobo: Asus M4A87TD/USB3 | Storage: Seagate 500Gb HDD

Yes, I'm aware my CPU is a huge bottleneck. No, I don't really care.

 

Laptop: Asus TUF FX505DT 60Hz 8Gb model
