The current state of my PC...

Quote from SWAT_OP-R8R

When looking at this big water block my inner voice keeps asking "can it make coffee?".

I toned down the possible RGB puke on my build to a satisfying minimum. It does not have to light up my entire room. RGB is nice until it starts to bother you.

That however, does not mean you can do some fancy stuff.

(not the greatest video quality filming in the dark)

The fans are also mirror rgb stuff but thats only active in certain situations.

Barely visible, but the red display shows 41°C idle temp after ~1 hour. That is actually ok for a 9800x3d (idle temps are a mess on AMD). But since I got a pretty good sample I undervolted it massively (and stable) so during +1hour stress test temps never went higher than 69°C.

Yes, I know the feeling when you get tired of RGB and the light shining becomes tiresome. I solved it by changing the computer case. This new one has glass on two sides and is a slightly tinted glass so that the light inside is no longer bright and pronounced. Sorry obout little mess this is also my workshop

looks good

I just simply toned it down very low arbg values and use the RGB just simply for status indicators (incoming messages, CPU/GPU load via light speed changes, temperature display, etc.)

My PC is not even sitting on my desk but under it. (still visible but not disturbing). Generally i am not a big fan of RGB (pun intended). Even my choice of keyboard is careful. RGB yes but only to shine through the keys. I hate this bleedthrough RGB light under the keys.

I understand you completely and I don't like too much light because sometimes it can be a distraction in gaming, but my son also uses this computer and he is a big fan of RGB, this is a kind of compromise. I would also like to recommend putting the case on the desk because there is less dust, not because of the flex

yeah i know

But since my cat warms its paws and belly during winter time on my PC I have to clean it more often by default.
