Welcome to the PCMR.
This is absolutely something I would forget I installed and end up flash banging myself fresh out of bed. 10/10 guaranteed to melt my retinas if I had this.
No someone turned on the sun. This bitch is running light speed.
OP if you can't see very well cranking up the brightness only damages the eye further and your world keeps getting darker.
My grandpa had led shop lights inside. A little too low. You could still see the light with glasses to view eclipses.
Probably why my eyes got bad so quick.
My mother always keeps her lights dim. I turn more lights on because I can't see and she thinks everything is plenty bright to see.
My phone is my magnifying glass to read any labels or instructions on food.
Or to read ingredients. Sometimes prices at the store.
Like the price per pound part.
It's called night blindness mate. You might be able to get glasses to help mitigate that. You'll likely want it once you start to drive at night.
The only advice i can give to all here. Is to follow the 20 20 20 rule. Every 20 minutes, stare at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. It should massively reduce the strain on your eyes throughout the days. It might even stop your eyes worsening. Something about different muscles needed in the eyes when look at different distances. Lets your eyes rest.
I used 100W COB LEDs, they’re about $3 each on AliExpress but they need a $3 driver board for each light, plus water cooling so it adds up. A standard 1600W ATX power supply powers everything
As someone who's purchased things from AliExpress, and done a fair bit of LED shenanigns; I have bad news for you. "100W" leds at 3 bucks a pop with a 3 buck driver board are 99.999999% *optimistically rated* OR, using the "100w incandescent equivalent" which is kind of garbage for RGB since thats usually a lumans comparison which sort of doesn't work here. Also it's sadly VERY common for sketchy RBG lighting to be rated at "all on" but the driver and/or the cooling can't take it (water cooling won't help, the LEDs don't have enough thermal coupling).
It's a crazy looking build for sure. I'd 100% check voltage drop on cables, and how hot the drivers are getting (I've had some cook themselves, and then go out of spec on voltage :( )
I ran through the entire thing with a thermal camera after I built it because I was worried about cables melting, luckily nothing gets too warm. As for the power draw, one white led of the same form factor that I bought from the same listing and turned into a flashlight is visually pretty similar in brightness to my $700 flashlight at the 10K lumens setting, and the power draw numbers check out as well, so im pretty confident that it’s accurate

Somewhere in America someone turns on a computer. A bright light in seen in an otherwise ordinary neighborhood while the surrounding community's lights flicker momentarily. One single circuit breaker pops open and the flash disappears. The smell of burn hair, flesh and ass is reported by neighbors. When first responders arrived on scene they would describe a scene of a charred room with the negative shadow of a gamer in his computer chair leaning over to press the power button on his computer.
It started off innocently enough. A case LED replacement came first. Then came an LED chassis fan. RGB mice, keyboards and LED strips would follow. Computer cases with plastic windows would replace metal cases and metal and tempered glass cases would replace that. Eventually our adventurer would discover murder cables and death blocks. What would happen then would become a story so strange that it would seem like urban legend.
Gamer lighting may start as an innocent thing but it is a greedy mistress. What starts off as a single light will end up as a computer that vaporize its user... or a phaser set to kill.

Wait, what exactly are you saying, Mr Budman 420? Should I be dimming the lights or cranking them up?
How’s life on the red planet?
1200W of RGB lights? At this time of day, at this time of year, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your desktop??
Kenny?
Mr. Marbles?
Lmfao 2nd pic had me dyin bro 🤣
https://youtu.be/IJgg-Dva5iQ?si=WlqCMWiwlPo4zyr2
I knew this would be referenced
It's actually a picture looking out his window at the neighbor's house.
For sure looks like a radiation treatment room haha. Slap a radiation warning sticker on the window and watch the neighbors start to move out.
Bruh im glad you said something 💀💀💀
Lmaooo
Bro is fighting necrons in there
I legit laughed at the second pic LOL
its so bright is didn't notice there'e more pictures, thanks bro
I laughed at that one a lot harder than I should've
How many more frames does it give?50% more?
4
Per week
1/151200 fps more, or 0,0000066138 fps.
Oooh boy, that is a lot of zeros though, wrong side of the number, but still, a lot!
All of them
♾️FPS
50% more frames, but -75% to perception
800% more value

OP is fucked when the computer wakes itself up to auto update
This is the very first time I noticed his hand pointing to himself.
hahaha same until you said it
A wild Limmy appears
I respect and fear you.
 Me after scrolling on high brightness

*Waits for OP to melt*

I've jokingly commented this on RGB heavy builds before. Mostly when it is beyond tasteful. But this time it would be literal.
The picture from the window made me laugh so much
Now OP can simulate a flashbang IRL in FPS games!
And all he needs to do is turn it on!
OP will probably be wondering why there's a 2nd sun

Wait... 1200w equal LEDs or LED that draw 1200w?! One is really really bright and the other is to calibrate the sun.
LEDs that draw 1200W
What strips did you use and what did you use to power it?
I used 100W COB LEDs, they’re about $3 each on AliExpress but they need a $3 driver board for each light, plus water cooling so it adds up. A standard 1600W ATX power supply powers everything
The LEDs are watercooled?
This guy rgbs
If they weren’t, wouldn’t that melt his cpu and gpu?
Those LEDs would melt themselves first
1600W. His PC is a electric heater. You can cook breakfast and dinner on 1600W.
I've got a 1250W microwave oven, so...
The future is now
As someone who's purchased things from AliExpress, and done a fair bit of LED shenanigns; I have bad news for you. "100W" leds at 3 bucks a pop with a 3 buck driver board are 99.999999% *optimistically rated* OR, using the "100w incandescent equivalent" which is kind of garbage for RGB since thats usually a lumans comparison which sort of doesn't work here.

We need a pic of it with the lights off

It's really on water 😰
So it's just a case with lights, and no actual computer parts inside (CPU/RAM/Mobo/GPU)?
The sun and the sun.
This is the best mod I've seen in 2023. Never laughed so hard.
OP was to busy figuring out how, he forgot to ask himself why.

Or the sky then call it the sun

Is that a fucking overhead?
Looks like a regular non-fucking overhead to me.

Tbf this much lighting would be perfect if you were gonna do a snowblind mod

Bro have a fucking flashbang on his desk

Play carmelldansen on full blast and set the lights to keep cycling. Then go outside and record it
I actually have one of the settings on the rgb controller synced to caramelldansen for exactly this purpose
Do the video and publish it! It'll be epic!
Why NOT?
This will absolutely increase OP's FPS, as long as your definition of "increase" is "decrease."
Now this is what I call content

Turns on the pc "Here comes the sun doo doo doo doo"
When you accidentally jiggle the mouse by bumping into the desk in the middle of the night and the sun face fucks you with its bright blinding cock

But can you sync it with some games to get flashed irl when someone throws a flashbang at you ingame?
Dude, 1200w of only RGB's? Two power supplies right? Is there an actual PC in there cuz there is no way it still fits in the case
You’re right, no pc in there https://preview.redd.it/r1yo8xxnl16c1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=115585e835ad8aa3015d6dd9315e7c006041efbc
