c-attack Thanks for that super informative post. That's great information. I have a couple of more questions. I have made a new profile and am playing around with that and have managed to do a custom curve (is that the correct terminology) for the three radiator fans and that's working great. But it appears the pump only has the four options, (zero, balanced, quiet, and extreme.) and I am unable to do a custom curve for that.Is that correct. ???

Thanks for your help c-attack. Don't ask me how but I managed to re install the iCue software and get it all going ok, with my temps now down to 70° to 80°. The pump is now permanently running at 2760 rpm, and the fans vary between 1450rpm at 98% cpu load to 400rpm at 3% load. The software doesn't seem very intuitive but I guess the more I use it the easier it will get. :laughing:

Thank you for taking the time to try and help me. Before I reinstall the iCue software, I wanted to double check my installation. On the H150i Pro I have the sata cable connected, usb connected to a port on the motherboard, and the speed monitoring cable connected to the AIO header on my motherboard. Should I take the cable off the AIO header and put it on CPU header. At the moment the AIO header speed is showing 2766rpm which is probably why my temps are so much better without the software installed. That appears to be running at "extreme" speed. Again thanks for your help.:laughing:

I Have a i9 9940X (yes EX not K) and a H150 Pro, with a ASUS x299-A motherboard running a 39% overclock (4.2Mhz) . I run all cores (14) at 95% 24/7 and my CPU temps are around the 80° C mark. (20° to 25° ambient) I couldn't get the iCue software to run correctly so its running with that uninstalled. Your 9900k will definitely work with the H150

Yes 34° water temp under load is nothing to worry about. Thats normal

So I have had my H150 Pro for about three days now and I was extremely pleased with the performance until I installed the iCue software. When I installed the icue software I went to use the "extreme" profile and the fans were all good showing extreme (1500 rpm) in the software but the pump was greyed out and on "quiet". (1100rpm) I started my program that I use with this machine and the 14 cores all go to 100% and the cpu temps went to 95° C Previously before installing the icue software, the same situation the cpu temp would be 75° I tried to change change the pump performance to extreme but no matter what I did it would stay at "Quiet"and 1100 rpm. After a very frustrating two hours I uninstalled the software and tried again, with no icue software. And it went back to CPU temp of 75°. So obviously the pump was on quiet. Does the pump go faster than 1100 rpm. Any suggestions on why I couldn't change the pump profile to extreme. This computer runs on 100% load 24/7 so dont want any overheating. THANKS for reading this far
