  1. so is it a special PC you got? (with unusual power consumption etc.)
  2. I did another test apparently switching off the PSU (even without unplugging it) is enough to make it revert to default settings in other words you just need to keep the PSU on for it to remember settings (if there's a power outage then should also revert but I ain't got that prob cause I've a UPS)
  3. if the AXi series' anything like the RMi then yes BUT if you switch off the PSU itself - even without unplugging it - then it will revert to default settings btw how come multirail makes your PC crash? (is it a special config?)
  4. nope the fan on the RMi series is a true FDB (fluid dynamic bearing) fan and the one on the RMx series is only rifle-bearing fan (shorter lifespan which is why it's set to 0db mode to preserve life cause you can't afford to have a rifle-bearing fan spinning all the time)
  5. I've the RM750i (and the same sort of case with the new 'PSU at the top' design ie. Corsair Carbide 600q) and apparentlsettings are permanent if you disable 0db mode in Corsair Link then uninstall Corsair Link then fan still spins in idle and if you reboot (with or without uninstalling CLink) then fan is still spins and if you reboot into another OS the fan still spins in other words to re-enable 0db mode you've to reinstall CLink & reenable it from there so maybe one of the Corsair engineers can confirm but apparently the settings are "remember" by the PSU itself btw I left the PSU on/off switch to ON. I think if you remove the PSU (remove it from PC & unplug it from wall) and wait for a while the PSU "forgets" the custom settings & reverts to default 0db mode setting tbh it'd be better if they just put a physical fan switch on the PSU itself (one of my 3 PSU's is a Seasonic & it has that fan mode switch 0db/hybrid)
  6. But why even have 0 fan mode then? FDB fans make no noise and if they last that long why not keep them on minimum speed n keep PSU temps down
  7. But a true FDB is still a type of sleeve bearing right? :confused: Consensus on overclocker forums is even the best sleeve bearing tech cant last as long as double ball bearing (cause friction or something) they say the only reason DBB aint used all the time is cause they make a bit more noise then FDB for some people silence is more important btw I've also a Corsair VX550 which I used for 7 years non-stop 24/7 on a server (now I keep it as one of my test/backup PSU's along with a Seasonic) and the fan is a DBB not noisy and show no sign of age ... if it was a FDB fan would it have last that long?
  8. So the fan on the RMi series are control by both temp AND load? If so that's more of a reason to leave fan on 0-fan mode I guess but the problem is my case is a bit weird it got the PSU at the top which means I gotta leave the fan on (cause the hot air rises ... basically the PSU acts as a second rear exhaust fan) But that raises another problem since it's only a FDB fan (and not double ball bearing cause these last forever) will leaving the fan on 24/7 kill the fan prematurely? here I set it to 40% minimum (can't go below that apparently) so basically it spins at least 40% speed all the time is this bad for an FDB fan?
  9. alrite then can someone @Corsair confirm if the fan's triggered only by ambient temp or by any of the other sensors too? (for those who enable 0 fan mode)
  10. alrite so when PSU load increases (eg. run prime95 & furmark at same time) how come PSU sensor #2 (the one reported by CLink) barely goes up? it stays around 35°C maybe an extra °C or so on the other hand sensor #1 (the one not shown by CL) goes up by about 7°C
  11. which caps keep the charge long? the huge bulk caps or all the other caps too (primary & secondary (also how did Jonnyguru survive all those PSU reviews? did he wear special gloves or something?)
  12. which caps keep the charge long? the huge bulk caps or all the other caps too (primary & secondary
  13. could a bad capacitor cause this sort of thing? (the AXi series have chin caps iirc)
  14. figures :/ is there at least an option for custom install ICUE? (eg. choose which components to install so I'd only choose PSU monitor)
