Small warning for other i160 users, latest iCUE v3.38.61 does not seem to work well on i160, throws an error "no device found" and due to that overheats. Going back to version v3.37.140 immediately fixes the problem. As it took me a while, to find previous version, you can grab it from here: https://downloads.corsair.com/Files/CUE/iCUESetup_3.37.140_release.msi

Any word about GPU temps?

Sometimes I’m running multiple VM’s on it and it does look like that 32GB RAM is enough for me anymore. Any advice, what sticks to look for, to squeeze 64GB into it? Preferrably Corsair RAM sticks? :D: I know that anything, with low profile should fit, but are there any specific recommendations?

If Corsair would ever provide "GPU upgrade kit" for i160, I would definitely buy one. Machine is itself is very solid. If Not, I guess I will probably switch back to DIY path, no point to buy full new machine, just to upgrade GPU.

Is SGX enabled in BIOS?

Enable it in the BIOS.

There is no RTX 2080 Ti Super coming from nVidia, so GPU will probably not change, at least not anytime soon. Only 2070/2070/2080 get Super versions, at least by nVidia's official announcements.

I'm also running Windows 10 Pro ;)

Does not install on mine, I even checked...it does not even create that partition...

Yes, of course I have... :biggrin:

Yes, hence why I decided to try it in a first place...unfortunately, it does not seem to work... :sigh!:

Anyone tried it on their i160/i165 yet? Looks like it is not compatible, probably due to Motherboard?

@Remorage - there is no Software lock also it uses default nVidia drivers, hence it would work.

My observations so far: Default BIOS settings are quite good, no problems with it running between 4,8-5.0Ghz (Voltage does not exceed 1,3v, temp does not exceed 80C), depending on load. Have not yet started to tinker with OC as pre-installed Windows on mine was "bust" and I had to reinstall it from scratch using external medium. It actually acted really weird, could not change user profile pictures, connect to Network drives, do WU, etc, etc... So far so good, it performs like 9900k should and better than I could ever expect, considering form factor. Also, it looks like there is not much thermal headroom left, to do any extensive OC.

I just received my i160 and I'm pretty good Systems builder and tweaker (in fact, it is the very first pre-built rig I ever bought during 25 years), so in case you would need any testing, I'm happy to help. Also as I plan to squeeze out any drop of performance I can get from this lovely little box (of course, with safe temps and voltages, etc..). I will let you know if I will encounter any issues while trying to achieve that.
