Yes, it has to be flowing the same direction as the other fan

Just try it both ways and see what works best for you. If you reverse the fans to exhaust sure your CPU temps will be slightly higher because you are using warm case air to cool the radiator. Really even if you have it as an intake it's not going to affect your case flow at all. It doesn't matter. Dust is going to get in to the radiator no matter what. You can blow the dust out with compressed air if need be. But a periodic dis assembly for cleaning is a good idea anyway. In most cases a pull only config is not going to cool as well as a push config. You need to be forcing air through the radiator to cool to the best of it's ability. Trying to suck air through is not going to give you near the same flow. It has one power connector and a single tach lead that gets connected to the CPU_FAN header. Yes, disable any control to that header.

They corrected the issue, shortly after it was reported, however there may still be some out there that have the short wires. If you purchase it directly from Corsair or any of the large supply chains. You should be fine.

If your I/O connections are in the bottom right hand corner of your MB they should be long enough. But if you have a board with the connections towards the middle of the board then they probably will be short. Two posts up gwaniiz posted a pic of the wires position http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=15nwvb5&s=5#.Um98KRDt77c

Amen !!!!!! @Loki76 But you have kept on buying their components even after all the failures.

Sure! Try this...a full set non the less! http://www.demcifilter.com/p0431/Corsair-Air-540-Dust-Filter-Kit.aspx

So Tuner, what makes a "crappy" transistor? Do you have any idea of makes or part numbers or if any of them were the exact problem? Smith, it usually takes about 3-5 business days to process. Then they usually just send the parts out and most people recieve those parts before the status is updated. You could call CS on the toll free number and find out immediately where it's at in the process. But total turn around time would be 7-10 business days.

Thank you, but I would also like for a Corsair rep to confirm this. No worries, I understand . While I am not a Corsair employee i have been backed by RamGuy and the tech support team as an official forum helper. It's not going to void your warranty , they just can not guarantee correct operation and or rated speeds when mixing kits. Really, about the only way to void your warranty would be to either disassemble the modules or run them over2.0 volts which would be the max voltage of the modules, which is independent of your CPU/MB. Other than that there is no problem. You can view their warranty info here. http://www.corsair.com/us/support/warranty/ You would need to contact CS and discuss this with them. It would also depend on where you bought the modules. If you purchased them directly from the Corsair website thats a possibility. They can not refund you money on a product that was not purchased directly from them. So if you bought them from a local reseller or etailer you would need to take that up with them. But again, this would be something you would need to call in and discuss with CS. This is something that can not be handled here from tech support. Yes, check Intels site and download the Intel CPU diagnostic tool. It will run a complete check on you CPU. Just make sure it is NOT overclocked as it will fail if it is run outside stock parameters. It may be just a driver conflict, bad CPU or even issues with the MB. I suggest maybe trying an older version of the graphics driver if the latest one is not working and depending on how well the CPU tests out with the CPU diagnostic tool. Can you check your event logs and see what the error codes are for the blue screens? Or maybe have a dedicated GPU to test with?

No you did not void the warranty by mixing kits but i would run that kit by itself through memtest a couple of passes to confirm that one of the sticks is bad.. Just because you removed that kit from the system and it run s fine doesn't always mean that that is the offender. It is very well possible some other component or even one of your other kits is the or stopped working with the others. It would be best to confirm that one of the sticks are bad first Remove ALL your ram and test the "faulty" kit by itself to take the rest of the memory out of the question. Load set-up defaults and then enable XMP and boot to memtest. Let each stick run for three passes or or until you get an error. There no sense in going any further if it errors are detected. You can always call CSand request an RMA that way,,but the link on the left would be the best way. And yes, you would be responsible for paying the shipping to them. Corsair would pay for the new set to be shipped backed. No , they will only exchange the same part number. 4)4 You could try to increase DIMM voltage to 1.55 volts and VCCIO to 1.1v to see if that helps. But again i would test the suspicious kit first before doing this. It is not all that likely that it could be the mother board,but is always a possibility. Also, the memory controller is no longer located there. The memory controller is now in your CPU. This is why i suggested to test that kit with memtest86+ first to confirm that you do have a bad stick first. If the sticks in that kit all pass in the first slot on the MB , test those sticks in the remaining slots in the motherboard to rule out a bad DIMM slot.

They are listed as compatible then they have been tested with that system Quote from the product page

Yes they will just default to 1066mhz anyway. And yes they have been tested as all Corsair memory is and certified by Apple
