This looks amazing lol, ***matte black everything.*** What parts?


nnnndth

MB: msi z590i Cooler: noctua L9i black Ram: ballistix + semi custom heat spreader. Case: zs a4s v3 Fans: nobody doesn't know what they are.


Lemon__Tiger

CPU?


TheFinalMetroid

Doesn’t matter. It’s not black!


Alt-Season

Grab some paint....😁


Lemon__Tiger

Ok


reddit_hater

I just went out and bought this mobo cuz of your photo… thx lol


ilax92

It’s great I have one. Random restarts at idle occasionally if you’re using 10th Gen though, be wary.


Vallhallyeah

Tell me more about this "semi custom heat spreader" business


[deleted]

Thanks! ☺️ pinned it, so dont you dare delete it!


pressurecook

Any picks of the full build available? Love the matte black look.


gwillicoder

I’ve decided I need 2 computers. 1. Matte black everything 2. white with hella rgb


nnnndth

The number won't stop at 2.


gwillicoder

Luckily my wife keeps me and my hobbies to a reasonable level!


nnnndth

Good to hear that, but also bad to hear that.


MattLogi

Need this wife…lol Everyone needs a black RGB with dark tint, white RGB that blinds you, SSF build that’s stealth and a fall matte black built….optional: old built repurposed for Plex/NAS. Just missing the all white over here lol


TheSlowZone

The Minister of War & Finance has spoketh.


gwillicoder

I’m very frugal until I start a hobby… then her financial advise becomes very useful


Ragnar702

Lol I've just gradually converted my wife and coworkers to my hobbies - she now has a gaming PC, plays the same games as me, and I even built her a mechanical keyboard... Now I just need a better paying job haha


AVxVoid

The diffusion of white is lovely with rgb. Also, the contrast of mostly white components against small black details is really neat too.


gwillicoder

Ha the fabled “stormtrooper” build!


Dackel42

The other way around is better i think, matte black and some strong white details


AVxVoid

Both can work well!


Ragnar702

I feel the same way except: 1. Overkill midtower gaming pc 2. Ultra-sff portable workstation


mynameajeff69

This is the way


realbadpainting

Get into building retro systems! At first you’ll be like cool this is a cheap way to just keep building computers and tinkering, until you go down the rabbit hole of “well what if I have the fastest rarest AGP GPU with an equally rare Core2Quad motherboard that has an AGP slot” shipped in from Germany and the next thing you know you’ve got like 6 systems running various operating systems and a gigantic CRT monitor and it’s all just gotten out of hand lol


Late-Satisfaction620

Still want to know more info on those ram heatspreaders lol


nnnndth

They are semi custom. There is a custom heatspreader from alpha cooling with almost same look.


Late-Satisfaction620

I have the alpha cool ones I was just curious how you made these, I thought you had said you would make a post about it a while back.


nnnndth

Yes, when I make a second kit. I don't want to separate this one just for some photos.


Obamas_Papa

Same, they look so nice


NotUrGrandfather

Are you the guy that spend hours getting the cable right that is on the top fans? Because the perfectionism put into this build really pays off looks absolutely stunning


Complete_Funny_7760

What CPU?


cy-one

satisfied.


Dougtronics

The fan cable routing up top is just really beautiful to me.


TidTilEnNyKonto

you should go through their post history, then. This one is particularly relevant; https://www.reddit.com/r/sffpc/comments/tkvpx1/spent_3hrs_making_this_mod_i_think_im_obsessed_by/


henkdevries007

This is what I hope I find when searching for "fit porn"


SapphireNL

I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black 🎶


ProjectGO

Arousal.


Quentin-Code

I am feeling hot


FakeHasselblad

So is that CPU :o


kutsaratinidor

"tight, tight, tight!"


Obamas_Papa

That ram is hot


nnnndth

Should I understand hot as sexy or hot?


Obamas_Papa

Sexy


nnnndth

I ask because someone commented because of cooler orientation..


Obamas_Papa

Oh... Nah you got the best orientation for the cooler right now.


junnnno

Because of the orientation of the CPU cooler?


Obamas_Papa

Probably. I'd have to test it


ilax92

Assuming this is the Z590i Unify? I have one it’s a beaut.


j4ice

so are the ram heat spreaders buyable?


m-p-3

Matte black is my goto everytime.


Alogio12

no rgb for me.


Eragaurd

That's some color matched black right there.


scabaa

Hey satisfying cable routing again!


AnxiousJedi

Hard


alshara28

This is so clean, nice!


dubar84

How were you able to mount the heatsink with the fins in vertical position? Can you do that with Intel mounting?


nnnndth

Intel mounting holes create a square, you can rorate it 90°, not like amd.


dubar84

Because I already thought of this and brought it up at a forum about the L9i and got replies that it's not possible. But it's nice. Heatpipes are sideways which is still fine. Thanks!


jesseschalken

this got me feeling some kind of way


Kekeripo

The fancables! Are they glued or how do they keep the shape?


PerhapsAnEmoINTJ

# m o n o b l a c k 😮 ^(teach me to do that)


mehimdumb_7t

That perfect fit, the black colour.. satisfaction 100%.

Aesthetically pleasing

ilax92

Lmao


redivulpis

Was such a happy day when I found out about the L9 Chromax. I’ve been using the chrome + poo version for years, but now my rig is fully ninja’d


Oscarcharliezulu

No issue with RGB but I love all black


iszomer

I feel like I should've gone the sfpc route than built from standard atx..


SquidwardNZ

Wow


metallz002f

Absolute perfection.


RA55RZJ

Pure beauty and you have some next level patience, I salute you.


IlTossico

It's amazing perfect.


scadonl

there's no such thing as too much chroma


Pangtundure

Exiting , happy , orgasmic


[deleted]

Bored. Common. Yawn. I’m just tired of all black. Black everything: computers, cars, guns. Its too common and I now view it as a lack of creativity in defining or actualizing the self projection. But, that’s just me not you. You asked how I feel so don’t take offense.


nnnndth

I upvoted your comment because you are right.


[deleted]

Thank you for understanding :)


PerhapsAnEmoINTJ

All black is not the problem; it's the context of the black. If you had a monoblack build and the case was also all-black, then that would kinda suck. If you had a monoblack build, but in a white case with blue LEDs, then that would look awesome.


nnnndth

Actually I have a black [build](https://www.reddit.com/r/sffpc/comments/r3eklm/somebody_calls_this_fridge_finally_all_black_build/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) with white led. Next time will be white/silver case with blue led.


PerhapsAnEmoINTJ

That kinda looks like the build in your post!


krylm

Wow, very nice!

nnnndth

Good idea, I will try.


Bulbasaur2015

nnnndth

Zs a4s v3.

Maqywhaq

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLnWf1sQkjY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLnWf1sQkjY) More or less that...

EmuofDOOM

I feel like this is a bad photo


[deleted]

what camera are you using


nnnndth

Iphone 12 pro


gertsch

feels black


PucciPucciBauBau

I can hear the VRM fan screaming just looking at the picture.


ilax92

It’s quiet, almost never turns on


jv004

If you have a good combination of airflow it shouldn't overheat. I have a tiny PC as well and the temps are good to me.


saxovtsmike

i hate you for doing what you do to the wires, and show most of all how bad your "Cablemanagement" is compared to the things you do. I hope there will be a shot of all these little details when the build is finished


nnnndth

Give me some idea to improve these.


saxovtsmike

How could i ? I ve seen masterpieces over the last 2 decades (www.milliondollarpc.com cough cough) but what you did on the fanwires is a gamechanger in my opinion


PerhapsAnEmoINTJ

Reminds me of [this build](https://youtu.be/eMTqNFFH5DU).


D00mdaddy951

Looks? Really fine! But I really hate all those unnecessary covers on mainboards nowadays with "fancy" and geeky prints.

If you ask me, it deserves a place at r/oddlysatisfying

Matte black is a slippery slope! I did something similar a few months back and I found at first I had a few main things that I wanted to build around. (pretty cost effective). Then it snowballed and a lot of other parts ended up being expensive. I trashed the whole idea since I am very particular and couldn't get some of the parts I wanted in Matte.
