Wiring / installation of the H100X Elite
LeDoyen replied:
On the motherboard side the 4 pin connectors are ALWAYS 12V (analog RGB) the 3 pins connectors ( 4 pins with one unpopulated) are ALWAYS 5V ARGB. Corsair gear is also always ARGB, with the exception of a couple of references of old fans. Corsair fans that have 4 pins are a bit special because ARGB normally has +5v, ground and data IN. Corsair fans also have a data OUT pin, to be passed to the next fan's data IN. that's so they can be connected in series and be individually controllable. they basically work like strips, where the data is passed from one fan to the other in a long daisychain. The RGB cable that comes with the H60 and H100X are wired to connect the pump block and fans leds in series on a 5V ARGB header of your motherboard. If you connect a corsair fan RGB cable direct to a motherboard ARGB header, in theory it should not work, since the data OUT pin from the motherboard ends up plugged in the data OUT connector of the fan. That's why you have to use the adapter cable. Besides, they are just the wrong sockets for the plug; they just happen to have the same pin spacing.

What are the best Corsair fans ?
c-attack replied:
The white LL were originally released for a special edition white 240mm AIO. A pair of 1500 rpm black LL fans would have tested unfavorably against other AIOs using fan speeds above 2000 rpm. If you look at any of those test results, the differences are slight so a bit more fan speed moves you from 7th to 2nd. However, unless you run those LL white at 2000 rpm, there is no further benefit. At 1500 rpm an LL black is the same as an LL white and most of us don’t need more speed than that.

Can I copy macro profiles from Scimitar Elite to Scimitar Pro?
c-attack replied:
It can be a real chore if you have a lot of profiles. When you are all done, don't forget to re-export all your profiles. Those new exports will contain the data for both mice.

Adding one/two additional fans to my case.
c-attack replied:
Corsair SP-Elite, ML-Elite, and AF-Elite RGB fans all have 8 center hub LEDs. The CUE program does not distinguish between these and they are all classified as “8 led fan series” in the software. They can go in any order, on any controller, and it does not matter. If you have 6 fans now (4 SP-Elite, 2 ML-Elite from the AIO?), then they all should be on the Commander Core, no Lighting Node Cores needed. 6 is the maximum capacity of the RGB controller. Any more and you need a second controller. The fans will grouped by their controller. If I set a wave in motion, it goes from fan 1 to fan X on that controller only. It does not continue at the next controller. So the planning will be about how you want moving patterns to run. Up the front and across the top? Front + side? Using two PWM splitters may work, but you need to be careful with the Commander Core since it also funnels power for the AIO. You are better off with a powered PWM hub or a Commander XT to solve both issues.

The Right DDR5 RAM Speed for my CPU/Mobo?
c-attack replied:
MSI sets up their compatibility page a bit differently and there are tabs for each possible CPU type. I don't know how part picker grabs the info, whether automated or someone has to manually enter it. 6000 would be the max if you had a Kaby Lake 12 series CPU. https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/MAG-Z790-TOMAHAWK-WIFI/support#mem I don't think that link retained my search specifications. Above the graph select "13th generation CPU K-series" (far right) and search Corsair in the box. You can then sort by supported speed (highest to lowest). You probably can run everything on the list, but any kit that runs 1.45v XMP may need active fan cooling in Summer and there is a small chance you need to tweak some settings at 6800-7200. Between all those Hynix M die models in 6000-6600, those will similar timings and lower voltage (1.30) will run cooler and likely have more overclock room above the XMP speed should you become interested. After that it's going to be price and availability. Things have smoothed out pretty well now with small, gradual price increases for small, gradual increases in frequency/performance. The top end kits still carry a big premium. XMP is a preset for overclocking. This is the on the box speed and activated in the BIOS. On the MSI website "supported speed" = XMP preset speed.

Elite LCD rotation (again)
Rossy1981 replied:
I want the same thing, it was planned for icue 4.25 last year. all we got was the option to rotate a GIF or a static pic I want to do like you and move the whole unit so my tubes are on the bottom, however it means my dual bar setup on the lcd will be 90 degrees off and can't do it I can't see why they cant do it either
