Count me in. I bet it was an overwhelming RGB deficiency.

I have RGB on the motherboard and AIO I’ll have you know. Never got round to adjusting iCue before the reboot saga began.
Also quite liking the RGB on keyboard and mouse. Just a static white, with red highlights on WASD and Numpad plus temp sensor on logo, slowly getting converted to the dark side 😜

Repaired build has been dispatched!
Impressed by the speed at which this has been processed, particularly as I’ve been informed I’ve been given a ‘core rebuild’, with a new CPU, GPU, motherboard and storage drives.
Going to have find a way to sneak out of work tomorrow and collect it from the DPD driver, and hopefully have some photos tomorrow evening! 😊😊😊

Fallen in love, hence the lack of photos. EVGA 3070 seems to be working a treat, one thing to note is it comes with 1x HDMI and 3x DP, whereas the Gigabyte came with 2 of each. Bottom line though it works well and I quickly became addicted. Ran Windows Updates, downloaded latest Nvidia drivers and then charged into Steam with aplomb. Started playing Shadow of Mordor, unsurprisingly from a 2012 title the 3070 is absolutely nailing it on max settings, might have to dig out Control for a look.
Tomorrow is probably going to be spent on cable management though, as the work surface is a bit of a mess and I need to make @AgentCooper proud.

Oooooo, you got the EVGA!!! Congrats! Literally like winning the lottery
You absolutely should. I was on a week of annual leave when I played Control and I spent a good couple of hours just gawping at the reflections. As I mentioned in my comments about it, it’s worth just letting GeForce choose your settings, it actually does a bang up job of both beauty and frame rates with this title.
I do sometimes worry what I’ve created here, people are afraid to post pics for fear of their cable management not being up to scratch in my eyes.
But I also kind of enjoy being the boogeyman, a nightmarish vision of wires and zip ties lurching at people in a slow, yet unstoppable way. Ready to eat their souls if the monitor cables don’t flow seamlessly to the tower.
No pressure, @MrWilson 😜

After lusting after this PC for 8 months and finally having it, I’m ready to end this saga on a high. Thanks to all who stuck along for the ride, and those whose expert guidance led me to the happy camper that I am today.

I’m so glad it’s with you and working well. Get Control downloaded, DM us all your Twitch handle and most of all… ENJOY. It’s been a long road for you, glad we all got to ride shotgun with you 👍

Enjoy it @MrWilson ! I echo @AgentCooper adivice I just started playing Control after owning it for ages, and it really shows off the graphic capabilities, don't get me started on refelctions and how they can give you a jolt when you aren't used to that level of detail!
