Tried dry-aging a prime rib in my home fridge vs. a dedicated aging fridge - huge difference

I hung a prime rib in my regular fridge for 21 days and got decent flavor but the humidity swings made the pellicle uneven and I lost a good 20% to trimming. Switched to a small dedicated fridge with a humidity controller and that same cut came out perfect with almost no waste last month. Has anyone else found that controlling humidity is the real game changer for home aging?

What temp did you hold it at with the humidity controller?

Honestly @brian_rivera59, does it really matter that much?
