Misy's new Lumos

i ordered my first digital storm 8 years ago, can't even rember which one it is. But today it is still going strong, i did, talking with my husband yesterday i told him how my pc is 8 years old now, and i can't believe it has held up that long previous pc from other places lasted 1 to 3 years at best.
Talked about mayb making a few upgrades, he said just go back to digital storm and order yourself a new one as my Christmas present for you.. :) So i did, i just finished placing an order for the Lumos lvl 3. upgraded the memory and mobo. I cant wait until it processes and gets through all of it's stages and gets here, hoping it holds up as well as my last one

Originally posted by Onkel_Ken Misy, I just upgraded my 12 year old Digital Storm system. Only had to replace 2 fans as repairs in all these years. I am looking forward to my new one arriving some day. At least we will be new & fresh and be able to run Windows 11. I hope Win 11 is worth the grief people have to go through to get it to run on systems more than a few years old.

Not sure if i am going to upgrade to 11 as soon as it finally gets here or wait a little bit, i hear good and bad, but maybe the bugs will worked out by the time we get our new rigs

I'm not positive about this, but I think the Corsair Commander Pro should work with most fans. For example, I'm using mine with Noctua fans. It works great.

I don't know much about the Cooler Master fans that DS is using. It says they are remote controlled. If the remote can be used to adjust fan speed, then I could see how there might be a conflict. For example, which device would control the speed: The remote, or the Commander Pro? I'm not sure.

However, if the remote is only used for changing the RGB colors, then there shouldn't be a problem.

Either way, I'm sure DS will alert you if there is an incompatibility.

I love following threads like this to eventually see the thrill people get when they get the latest & greatest Digital Storm beast.

I know I am excited about my new one coming some day.

It's possible that the LED lights are controlled by a remote. Do you see a remote in the box?

Some of the remotes have a bit of a plastic sticker on the battery to save the battery life until needed and needs to be removed... kind of like hearing aid batteries can last on the shelf for years before use.

Check for that... also, there is in my machine, a small rocker switch above the power supply in the back that turns on the LED strip.

Hope that helps.

well i can't figure it out. i took the sides off and pushed all the connectors to make sure nothing was loose.. i submitted a ticket at this point. i may have to be walked through.

I'm guessing the Zero RPM switch will allow your fans to shut off entirely if the temperature is low enough. I think maybe some power supplies have that switch. Anyway, I think you're right to leave that switch alone until you know what it does.
