  1. The holes are for the gpu cooler on the other side. the die is on the other side so there's nothing to cool on the back. And yes you have to use a GPU block. CPU blocks are not meant to be mounted there. The hole spacing is off too, and a cooler on the die alone will leave the VRM not cooled. Your graphics card is small 🙂 it's just that it has a massive radiator. If you want to watercool it, the air cooler will have to go regardless.
  2. + Better to do it before putting the build together inside. It's obviously a one-way trip, and have a look at where the cards will screw in. By opening the PCIE area you will only have a little tab with a threaded hole to hold cards. Not sure it will be very rigid.
  3. you explain a privacy policy you obviously do not understand, so why ? you only give a tinfoil hat interpretation of it with no hard evidence of what iCUE does. The very basic is to get one's facts straight, then argue what corsair is actually doing. The privacy policy, just like the terms of use are very generic and consist in a lot of CYA lingo. It's not because i disagree with the way you think that i defend Corsair. Again, that's a second layer of tin foil. I got tired of them and sold all i had from the brand except my PSU. I am here only to help poor souls that got suckered in like i was by the past reputation of the brand for quality which they lost years ago. You know, actually helping with troubleshooting problems users have, not problems you believe users should have.
  4. Are you an iCUE dev yourself? do you have any insights on the inner workings of iCUE to argue that telemetry has performance impacts? All you've said so far is a big pile of "if" and "maybes", with no experience or evidence. Just personal interpretations of their privacy policy with no knowledge of its real implementation in software. Of course the privacy reddit has lots of users, but that's people interested in the matter that joins it. Corsair community forum is not a privacy centric platform. It's just people talking about how to set their system, and troubleshooting it. Having a lighter version of iCUE without all the unnecessary services (only device drivers and RGB settings) has been asked for donkeys years but Corsair is clearly not interested. So, you know basically nothing about iCUE at this stage, at least not more than the people you think are argueing with you, which makes every singe of your interventions basically.. useless? It's not about telemetry or whatever iCUE does, it's about why are you bothering to lose hours of your time to post walls of text that help nobody since up to now it's only a big opinion piece with no evidence of what iCUE ACTUALLY does ? Corsair can very well provision in their privacy policy for stuff they may need to do in the future, or did in the past software versions but don't do anymore. If i had time to lose i would install iCUE (and have to buy a bunch of devices to make it work) and start packet sniffing to see what goes in and out instead of rambling about a webpage that tells things one has no idea how and if they are implemented in any shape or form.
  5. Just concerned about how some people love to lose their time arguing in great length about things nobody cares about? i hope you understand we are a very thin minority who looks at data harvesting and care to stop it at a very local level ? Most people share their entire life on social media and only care about having nice shiny lights in their PC. And what makes iCUE thrash is not the telemetry part. That has virtually no impact on performance. The core of the software has, to varying degrees, plus the instability and crashes that come back every few updates. So yea, not offended, just wondering why coming to white knight on a users forum where Corsair reps and employees rarely intervene anyway.
  6. if you hate telemetry, or care about privacy in any way, just block the domains used by corsair for it and you're done, or better yet, read the privacy policies before installing a software, they show them on every installer, where people usually click "accept" without looking. If they are not acceptable, well return the products and get something else ? Accepting an EULA including the privacy terms, then complaining about them is a bit weird. They are presented to every user so they can make that choice before installing said program. Don't get me wrong, iCUE is hot garbo and the amount of telemetry they implemented certainly didn't help in making it better or more stable over the years, but creating an account to unearth an old post and rage on it is weird.
  7. the old HXi are type 3 but really, only the motherboard 24 pin differs from type 4. you can get type 4 cables for PCIE and sata since they are probably easier to source (notice even type 4 psus use "type3" pata/sata)
  8. le probleme est tres probablement le fait d'utiliser 4 sticks. en DDR5, c'est juste intenable avec xmp. Deja en DDR4 c'etait tres difficile d'atteindre des vitesses décentes a 4 barettes. Il faudrait plutot utiliser 2x32gb au lieu de 4x16. 6000 CL30 est très facile dans ce cas là
  9. perhaps it's your case that's a bit too restrictive. a 3070 ti isn't particularely hard to cool, neither is the 5900x. If i were you, i'd wait to see how your current parts fare in the new case first.
  10. It's been asked a lot. But regardless, Corsair never comments on future products, so you will know when they come out, if they ever do.
  11. I only used a RM750X briefly on a build i made for a family member, and the fan never spun once, only doing the spin test at startup as you saw. My HX1200i never spins either in game despite pulling 6-700W. They pretty much all do that. As long as they are cool enough they won't start their fan. "cool enough" being often in the 55-65°C region which is uncomfortably warm to the touch. Very hot to the touch isn't a good indicator, since the switching chips inside can happily run over 100 - 110°C all day if they had to.
  12. it's normal. the fan control is a bit more involved than just load % and you have a rig that doesn't pull a ton of power so the PSU can run passively without problems. A temperature like ~60°C will feel very hot to the touch but it's relatively cool for the PSU. So if you pull even 3 or 400W but the PSU is not hot enough to be needing active cooling, the fan will stay off.
  13. there's an option in the bios to chose the boost behavior while the system is in the bios. by default its the max boost clocks.. change it to "max non-turbo clocks" if i remember well and it'll stop running so hot when you're in the bios
  14. well, Arrowlake PL2 has been leaked to be 177W (vs 253W currently on the same core config on 13900k and 14900k), so it's likely going down even if it's not official yet. that would be cool given how GPUs are taking the opposite route
  15. having a look at the ATX spec, both PSUs are good. the old one holds the voltage quite a lot but it's not necesary. They have to hold the 5VSB after power off for at least 17ms at full load , which is very short. And as always, do use that power switch as little as possible. Those PSUs are made to be left powered at all times.
