  1. I think the pump may just be running so slow that I can't see it with my small flow meter wheel I have in the loop. It only really works if it runs over 1500 RMP. It may be just slowing it to a crawl. Is there a way to increase the speed when Icue isn't running? I'm not sure how that would work as I thought it ran off the profile when it and the temp sensor was plugged into the commander core XT.
  2. Strange issue to say the least. My corsair xd5 pump has suddenly stopped working when Icue is closed. Won't run at all until Icue is running in the background. This includes in bios. the temp probe is plugged into the commander core xt and was working just fine. It was running before just fine without icue and when I was in bios. I haven't changed any hardware at all so I'm not sure what has caused the issue. any idea what could cause this?
  3. I've noticed since updating to ICUE 5 that my K70 MK2 loses connection with ICUE after waking from sleep. I'm forced to restart the PC to get everything working. This started when I updated to the latest version of ICUE. I even tried resetting the keyboard and that hasn't seemed to fix it. Has anyone else noticed this, and if so how did you fix it?
  4. I've recently had an issue will Icue will restart randomly. I happened to be in Icue when it did it this last time and it restarted all my Icue devices and the LED's went white and the mouse and keyboard stopped working. I hear what sounds like a fan kicking in but I don't believe this is a power issue with a 1000 watt PSU. any suggest on how I can narrow this down?
  5. I've got a Commander Pro I've had since 2017 still going strong in it's third build. It's probably the most useful piece of hardware for RGB I own. I bought the newer Commander pro XT for my daughters build that I like as well. I'll probably upgrade to that if my Commander Pro ever dies.
  6. I'd lean toward a mounting issue from the looks of it, especially if it shoots up in a few seconds. I've read that the intel 12th gen 1700 socket has issues with the mounting pressure if you don't have the correct mounting hardware. If your water temp isn't rising as fast as normal under stress test/heavy load that would be another sign. my overclocked 11600K doesn't get over 65c under and aida64 test. When I first installed it I used the wrong screws from my box of screws and the cold plate wasn't making contact. Swapped to the correct ones and it has been running right since then.
  7. Thanks for the help. This opens up a few configurations I haven't tried yet, and gives me something to play around with. This is my first custom water cooled build so it's been an learning experience.
  8. So, your saying I should just drop the third radiator? I'm not against this as I can still send the xr5 back, That would leave me with an XR5 and and XR7 (thick boy). I'm only cooling a CPU and GPU so it's not strictly necessary. It was more to give me more options in sizes and then they ended up all in the same build. The pc sits next to a wall on the right side about and inch or two away from the wall under a floating desk. So, back against the wall and right side against the wall with a little room for air. About 12 inches or so below the floating desk. I would say it has decent access to fresh air, but not as good as if it was on the desk. This is probably what I'm going to try and sounds like a good balance. Thankfully I went with soft tubing this go around and I can change around as needed. I'm thinking XR5 on top as intake, XR7 on bottom as intake, Side and rear as exhaust. I figure this will give me enough to exhaust the hot air (and sounds like you have tested way more than I have). Sounds like this is my project for this weekend. when I get time. I was just dumbfounded at the improvement I saw when I took the side panel off. I was looking at 4-5C over ambient at idle vs 10C. This case is definitely a hot box that requires special considerations when choosing parts/orientations.
  9. I've got my PC up and running in an 011 Dynamic XL (HydroX custom cooled) but it seems the inside of the case is nice and toasty. When idle the water Temp sits around 9c above ambient with three 360 rads. CPU is around 40C, GPU around 34 with water temp sitting at 34C. When I put it under a gaming load with all fans at max (XD3 at 70%) the cpu shoots up to around 53C, GPU 57C and water shot up to 48C (23C above ambient). Water temp was way too hot for my liking as I haven't even overclocked it yet. My case Temp sensor has the internal case roughly equal with water temp at all times. I took the side panel off and things turned around pretty quick during gaming. Water temp dropped to 31C (6C over ambient), GPU at 57C in just a couple of minutes. I wasn't expecting such a large drop. I have 10 QL120 fans running in this beast, at max for testing purposes. I know they aren't great, but I think I have another issue going on I can't narrow down. This case is heating up pretty good I guess. I've tried a few fan configurations already Top and back exhaust, side and bottom intake made a negligible difference. seemed the bottom rad was making the top rad useless. All intake (the last one) did OK. Just cant seem to get the warm air out of the case fast enough. Anyone have any other ideas, as having the side off gives me a 3C over ambient water temp during idle. I would rather not have to keep the side panel off to run with a decent temp.
  10. Pump seems to run everything fine. Finished the build the other day and I'm testing different fan configurations. I run it at 70% and I can't really hear it, and the flow seems good.
  11. I'm building in an o11 XL as well. All my water cooling components are Corsair except the GPU block. It's a bitspower, and doesn't seem to restrictive from what I can tell. It's the classic block for my Asus tuf 3080. I suppose my plan is to run all three radiators in one loop with the CPU and GPU powered by the XD3. I only ran my d5 at 50 percent when I was using two radiators do I'm hoping it works out the way I'm hoping. Thanks for the help.
  12. Running an 11600k now paired with a 3080. 11th gen gets nice and toasty when it's overclocked. I may just keep the single loop then
  13. That's good to know as I've never used a DDC pump before. I'll most likely run dual loop when I get my d5 pump back. If temps are decent I may just leave it as is. One more question, if I did run dual loops would the extra radiator of the three be better in the CPU or GPU loop? I would think the GPU would run hotter but I'm no expert on water cooling. I haven't found a solid answer on Google.
  14. My xd5 died and I got my hands on an xd3 pump to replace it while the warranty process works it's way out. My question is can the xd3 handle three 360 radiators (2 xr5 and 1 xr7) with the CPU and GPU block?
  15. I ended up ordering a 5v adapter from Pirate Dog to connect to a lighting node Pro before I realized I could use my third (unused) node core. I currently have 10 fans in my case so I only needed two of the Node Core's for the RGB. I'm also upgrading the motherboard next week and that will get me an extra USB spot to work with. I'll test out the adapter on the commander pro that's already in the system and see if it controls the GPU strip the same as it does with the front strip before I throw the node pro in there. For some reason the front strip works with the two wire RGB extension between the front strip and commander pro even though I'm sure it shouldn't as it's a 5v connector. once I heard about the pirate dog connectors it opened up a few options. I have a 2 port unpowered usb hub in now to help connect everything. right now I have the commander pro connected to the USB on the MOBO, one node core to the commander and the hub connected to the commander's second usb port with the second node core connected to the hub, along with one of my front USB (3.0 converted to 2.0) to give me use of all the ports. It's an intel board ,and I'm replacing with another intel board, and seems to play well with the node cores. I did have to play with the order a bit as if the commander wasn't on the board first it didn't like it and disconnected quite a bit. Right now it seems to work, should I consider using a powered USB hub then, and if so what one would you suggest? I'm not opposed to buying more hardware as I'm upgrading to an 11th gen intel processor anyway. It seems silly to have a commander pro, 2 node cores, and soon to be a node pro (possibly) in one case (lian li o11D-XL). I wish there was a way to cut that down to one or two devices. Corsair should consider working on that for the next step up.
