The problem with relying on honeycomb software is for people like myself who use spad.next it can cause big problems installing it. 5800X3D, 4090FE, 64GB DDR4 3600C16, Gigabyte X570S MB, EVO 970 M.2's, Alienware 3821DW and 2 22" monitors, Corsair RM1000x PSU, 360MM MSI MEG, MFG Crosswind, T16000M Stick, Boeing TCA Yoke/Throttle, Skalarki MCDU and FCU, Logitech Radio Panel/Switch Panel, Spad.Next
July 24, 20241 yr Wonder how it stacks up against my Crosswinds with dampener mod. I mean I'm all for upgrades (isnt that half the fun in this hobby?) but the Crosswinds give me pretty good tension/resistance akin to the small planes I fly IRL.

One misunderstood so badly that the response was "it would cost more $$ to remove the RGB wiring and leds than what it would save to build without it". Seriously? One was a builder featured at Flightsim Expo 2024. What is the case for the system in the photo? And cooler? And do I see GPU physical support?

One was a builder featured at Flightsim Expo 2024. What is the case for the system in the photo? And cooler? And do I see GPU physical support? Case seems to be the Thermaltake view 71. The cpu cooler is the Noctua NH-D15 chromax black. I think there are two GPU supports actually, horizontally and vertically. Not my PC, just found on Reddit and kept the pic. If you want non-RGB fans, that perform great (good cfm) get those noctuas. The cpu cooler is also great, on par with any good water cooler (as long as you have a good airflow inside your case). But yeah, I know the pain, these days everything comes with RGB. It’s annoying sometimes.
