  1. Nope, no space for an INTERNAL optical drive. Get an external one.
  2. Try a different USB cable. Sounds like it's only transmitting power, not data.
  3. Clarify "won't boot" - can't get into Windows, can't get to a BIOS loading screen, what ? Can you boot into safe mode? If so, disable iCUE from startup, go back to normal mode. Can you get into Windows normal mode after that?
  4. Why would the store it's purchased at change the build quality?
  5. For product support, it's best to just create a support ticket. That way you know you're going to get a response.
  6. I think they're at %APPDATA%\Corsair\CUE5\profiles - or C:\Users\<NAME>\AppData\Roaming\Corsair\CUE5\profiles for the full path (replacing <NAME> with your Windows username of course). NOTE: I don't have iCUE installed, so I could be wrong.
  7. Hold Windows key and hit tab. That'll show all programs with a UI that are open. Do you see it?
  8. That guy works for AseTek, not Corsair (see his Reddit profile). I'd assume he was talking to an AseTek engineer, not a Corsair one. If you want silence, what about an air cooler?
  9. Do you have signatures turned off? You can check here: https://forum.corsair.com/settings/signature/ . Alternatively if you're on mobile, it looks like they're turned off by default in the back end. Fair point, probably the wrong term. I probably should've just started with the assumption part and/or instead mentioned critical thinking. Respectfully, I'd say requiring a PhD to use a phrase like that may be a bit excessive, but to each their own. It's all good! In any case, it comes down to repeatability and trust but verify. I'm only reading about the end result (15% reduction in benchmark results) and don't have data between the beginning and end of the benchmark test(s), so I have questions. As for not disputing something - did they explicitly verify it, or explicitly comment on it? If you have links that would be greatly appreciated.
  10. What I meant was, you said you were going to edit your post to remove it, but you didn't know you wouldn't be able to after 5 minutes. So, I proactively did it for you.
  11. Corsair Albert was clear - MESSAGE him. Don't post in this thread. I've updated his post to make that section bigger and more obvious.
  12. Got a link? Couldn't find one myself. Also, post editing is limited to 5 min. I've removed the links. I'd suggest PMing the links to them if you don't want them public.
  13. See my sig: No, I don't work for Corsair. I've just been on the forum since before Corsair joined it 🙂 Started out as houseofhelp.com. No, I don't think you're bashing Corsair (and yes, that's allowed within reason). I just lean towards the scientific method. Being on here for 21 years, I've seen tons of people claim this and that without evidence and/or full testing. Effect before cause and all that. Then when they think it through a bit more, their claim/argument doesn't always hold water. Sometimes it does, and that's either because of their logic and/or in spite of it. Scientifically speaking, let's assume 15% drop is accurate (not saying you're wrong, I just don't have one to validate myself, nor have I looked up any reviews on that system). How did the test run? Is there data on the CPU / GPU temps during the run? Is there evidence for/against thermal throttling during the run, or did it run below thermal max for the entire run (or did something other than these scenarios happen)? I've seen discussions about thermals before, but this is the first explicit BIOS modification I've seen someone mention. Haven't read every post either, so I may have missed something. A BIOS setting could be the answer, but it could still be an unmodified BIOS. For example (and note that I don't know much about BIOS settings), can the temp at which thermal throttling starts be changed? e.g. from say 9x C to 6x C?
