APEVIA X-QPACK3-CL + **FREE RGB TUTORIAL #1**


This is my daughter Kayla's computer. She's a Photoshop junky (created my logo for me, check out her work), and wanted to upgrade her aging Intel Celeron g3930 system into a more modern Ryzen setup, and maybe do something about that RGB configuration. A demo and explanation of the before and after will be included with the video. Bookmark/ or Subscribe to my YouTube channel to check out some of the other stuff I've done. And be sure to give this build an approval if you liked it. The tutorials down below were done in this case, but the finished product is not shown in videos, only in the pictures above. For a lesson on the finished build setup, check out part 2 of this tutorial series.



Here's the first vid.
I'll talk about cheap RGB on the memory modules and rgb controllers that plug into the molex


In this second video, I demonstrate CoolerMaster RGB headers on the motherboard. explain a bit about the headers .vs not having them, how to properly set them up in sync, how to modify the case to make everything brighter, and a few other things worth noting in a basic RGB type build.



CableMOD customized cables are on order and I'll post updated pics when they arrive. Using this config HERE

AND FINALLY...
Part 2 of this tutorial will carry on to this build using a SAMA Maxcool-W Here
What's it gonna cover?? Well watch this video.


Part 3 is still in planning phase but will cover RGB by internal USB headers, controlling effects by software and syncing components using Corsair's products. Can be found here:
