  1. So, the motherboard included is going to have limitations in place in BIOS in order to ensure surface components don't overheat. I'll have to go back and play with the i160 some more to see if I can reproduce your issues. I'm working on having an overclocking-enabled BIOS for the i180 produced, if there are issues with the i140/i160's motherboard BIOS in terms of letting customers play with the settings and tweak their systems I'll want to make sure those issues are resolved.
  2. Regarding your disconnect issues with USB, are these duplicated with the rear USB port or just the front port? For the sleep issue, what monitor are you using? You wouldn't by chance be using a G-Sync display, would you?
  3. This BIOS will have those microcode mitigations introduced. And what specific USB and sleep issues are you having?
  4. Just because the board we use is similar to the mass market one does not mean it's the same. Our BIOSes are tuned specifically for stability and fold in necessary security updates. If your system is running fine, listen to your motherboard vendor's advice: DO NOT UPDATE THE BIOS. We don't regularly publish new BIOS updates at the same cadence as the motherboard vendors specifically because we have to focus on stability, and frequent BIOS updates are a great way to ensure novices brick their systems.
  5. The retail ASRock X299 ITX board WILL NOT FIT in the Corsair One chassis. We had to modify a daughterboard to ensure that it would work. To be honest, if you want to go nuts with a Corsair One, your best bet is just to buy the i180 and manually upgrade the CPU to the i9-9980XE. We've actually validated and certified against that CPU. We won't warrant its operation or any damage you may incur by doing the swap, but it can be done and should work fine. We also have a 64GB upgrade kit for the i180 en route. You can technically buy a 16GBx4 SODIMM kit and it should be fine, but the upgrade kit comes with specially selected ICs and heatspreading tape to guarantee stability. As for the i140/i160, I don't know what you really gain from switching motherboards. Maybe another 100 or 200MHz turbo? Maybe? You can achieve similar results by manually undervolting the CPU, which could reduce noise in the process.
  6. Hey everyone, I'm the product manager for Corsair One and felt it appropriate to answer directly here. I hear you on wanting to have consistent, regular BIOS updates for these systems. However, the update cadence the sister motherboard in retail is on is not appropriate for Corsair One, and there are minor but notable hardware differences between the boards in retail and the boards we use. No new features have been introduced in the motherboards, and QuickSync is unfortunately extremely niche. The customer also for a pre-built PC also has different needs vs. the customer for a DIY motherboard. Where things get extra tricky for us is that we have a history of being a DIY company, and we've produced this pre-built machine with that expectation folded in from our reputation. Certainly the newer Corsair One i100 series was designed to have more of this in mind. But the primary focus for these machines has to be stability and security, so we have to take an "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" approach. If the existing BIOS keeps the system secure and stable, I'm playing with fire by trying to push a new BIOS through. I can understand wanting to have the latest BIOS updates on principle, but look at it from my perspective: what is the end customer gaining by updating their BIOS, and is it worth the risk of a novice user accidentally bricking their machine?
  7. That is NOT what I said. This generation Corsair One has limited upgradeability as far as the graphics card is concerned. You can use any full size card that fits the PCIe height/size spec. You CAN'T use the graphics liquid cooling system with it.
  8. I have no idea how the heck they're doing that, and I would be extremely wary of it. They may be "overrunning" limitations in the hardware.
  9. Just as a heads up, we do have fan hysteresis coming for Commander Pro, and are working on revising the fan curves.
  10. Unfortunately it's not possible to open the source code for Link as it uses proprietary IP from other vendors.
  11. It's ongoing. I wish I had a more definite answer for you.
  12. Thank you! I actually have two tortoiseshell tabbies, love them both dearly, can't imagine my life without them. This is my other girl, Little Bit, blocking off airflow to my desktop: https://twitter.com/CORSAIR/status/912418021964111872
  13. pxv, your unit is unfortunately from the lot affected by the recall. zguy85, were you having issues before the recent updates or has this started as a result of the Fall Creator's Update from Microsoft?
  14. It is! Her name is Zoë, she's 11. :)
