Trying to suss out the cable management fan placement before moving the system into the case.
Bottom fans are intake as are the side/radiator fans (pull).
I had this kinda Blade Runner / Cyberpunk city alleyway lit by neon signs motif in my head. I think the edge lit case / GPU fans and the light ring on the AIO and the way the lights reflect on the inside of the glass achieved that pretty well. The lighting cycles between magenta/fuschia, purple, cyan, and a soft bright green.
I could get the lighting on the pump and everything else in sync, but I actually like them being slightly out of phase with each other. Every few cycles they end up synced for a few. Personally, it adds some visual interest.
There's a few 3rd party RGB control software projects I'm following, once they work a bit better with this hardware the plan is to make a more fine tuned pattern (that will have even more, but deliberate, out of phase elements).
Lighting strip (Phanteks Neon) mounting
Tried to snake the wire for the light strip along the seam of the top panel
Looking down from the top
Bundled the AIO wires and ran them along the VRM/IO Block
Blacked out the Aorus side logo, fan stop light and the labels on the fans using some custom cut pieces of adhesive vinyl.
Using Aurora to control the lighting and it was making those 2 lights flicker (doesn't happen with RGBFusion, but I can't make a custom color cycle there either). For the fans, I just don't like seeing the logos, especially since they're upside down.
Back panel off. SSD plate covers the mess. Between cable extentions and a poorly designed fan/rgb hub that came with the fans, and leaving the radiator uncovered there's actually a lot less room than you'd think.
