  1. I'll stick with my current setup for now and remember the option to move the fans in front of the radiator, if my temps go up again. Thank you very much for taking your time to answer my questions and for the help you've provided!
  2. I've been trying to use the PC a lot today to test it. The RPM and temperatures have gone down quite alot, albeit it not to where I would have preferred it. Nevertheless, it really helped a lot to tweak temp curves and switch to intake instead of exhaust on the radiator fans. I'll stick with the clocking as is. I have 2 non-filtered exhausts on top and rear where the case fans are mounted (as when case was bought). On one side (front) there's a mesh with a dust filter included. There's also a small (2cm) mesh in the bottom (front). Under the PSU there's another filtered mesh. I might consider taking the filters out of the bottom and front mesh areas, if the noise gets unbearable again. Otherwise I will just have to regularly clean them - seeing as they were full of dust when I started working on getting the temp of the CPU and coolant down I am thinking that it might be better to leave the filters in to avoid getting the whole case completely full of dust. As for the fans/radiator position it is: From outside case front side and bottom (through dust filters) -> through radiator -> through fans. (as shown in the picture attached to my last post). I'll go with this config for a while and see whether the temps stay on a level where the fan noise is bearable - unless you have further comments on the fan positions?
  3. The coolant temp drops (relatively) quickly after finishing - most of the time. However, it usually stays at about +4-5 C higher than the starting point of 31-ish. I'll try reposting the picture. After reconfiguring I made sure that it is indeed H100i rgb platinum as a front intake and the two nzxt H500 case fans as rear and top exhausts. I tried running the CPU-Z stress test in the bench tab for xxx minutes with these results as recorded by iCUE for the coolant and NZXTcam for the CPU temp: Start: Coolant, 33,5C; CPU 35-47 C. After 2 min: Coolant, 34,5 C; CPU 55 C. After 9 min: Coolant, 37,5 C; CPU 59 C. After 14 min: Coolant, 37,8 C; CPU 59 C Then turned off the stress-test After 1 min cooling: Coolant, 37,9 C; CPU 35-44 C. After 6 min cooling: Coolant, 35,2 C; CPU 35-47 C. When playing the coolant went up to 41 C quite quickly but CPU never goes above 57-58 C. Coolant stays at 37-ish for a long time after i stop doing anything on the PC. Is this an issue of too little intake/output of fresh/used air? I have seen quite similar builds to mine online with little to no issues (although the NZXT 500H cases also have some reported heat issues according to google) - but I was wondering if my problem is likely to be solved if I buy a more efficient fan for either to or rear exhaust? It seems a little better than at the last post - I tweaked the rpm curves and got the little bit of dust that was left on the radiator off when I was checking the intake/exhaust of the H100i, so that is probably why. I do have dust filters on the front intake, since that's how the case is configured. No way to get around that with the NZXT 500H, and it's not possible to place the H100i as an exhaust on neither rear nor top. I did notice that the base clock of my processor, AMD Ryzen 5 2600X shows as 3,6Ghz on AMD's website, while NZXT shows my clock as average 4K while stress-testing. I did not manually overclock, but I don't know if I should turn this down to 3,6 and whether that would help?
  4. So, I tried making a custom curve approximately based on the numbers you suggested. That worked out pretty well. It certainly lowered the rpm output and as such the noise as well. Only issue is that the H100i temp reaches real high temperatures awfully fast. E.g. when I open any random non-high performance game or other program, the temp will go to 40 + C with this custom setting and the fans will reach 2,5k rpm (max) anyhow. Anyhow, that got me started on the case management. I've attached a picture to show my setup, I don't know if that's enough. As is shown, I have a backmounted chassis fan, a topmounted chassis fan and the frontmounted H100i radiator fans. As far as I've been able to assert they blow as exhaust (towards the front of the cassis) where there's a dust filter. I'm thinking that it might actually just be the case itself that doesn't have enough cooling/airflow. Otherwise I might have to change the cooling paste between processor and cooler to see if that works. Beyond that I'm fresh out of ideas.
  5. Hi, So I've tried to check up on your remarks. I do not have any other Corsair products controlled by iCUE. The two radiator fans are the fans making the (extremely high) noise. The temperature sits idle at around 30-32 degrees celsius in a room at about 21 degrees and load until 36-40 degrees celsius. The idle rpm of the radiator fans connected to the H100i Platinum sits at around 1000-1200, the pump at about 1900. However, as soon as i start doing anything on the computer, the RPM goes up to about 2500-2700 no matter how I try to configure them. Is this necessary at a CPU in between 30-40 degrees in a room with a temperature at around 21 degrees?
  6. I built my first computer in the spring of 2019 and I had some problems with fan noise, however after installing iCUE and Fan Xpert4 the noise stopped. However, within the last 10 days the noise came back in full force. I'm stumped as to how I can fix it... I've tried resetting options in Fan Xpert and iCUE, opening my cabinet and cleaning it, I'm not sure what to do here. I hope someone here can help me. The RPMS show as 2500-2700 even on quiet in iCUE, at the very lowest, regardless of the temp.

  7. Thanks! I spent so much time trying to get Link to work and I didn't even consider i might need a different software... ICUE works like a charm!
  8. Full disclaimer: This is the first computer I've assembled on my own and I am fairly new to the whole thing. My Corsair H100I RGB Platinum is not showing in my Corsair Link 4. I can see the RPM's of the fan under the general information of the Mobo, but the cooler is not seen seperately and I have no way of managing it. I've tried reading through the posts here, but so far I haven't found a solution that works for me. Here's what I know: I connected the H100I RGB Platinum to the SATA power, I connected it to the 2 fans, I connected it to the RGB headers and I connected it with a micro USB to the USB header. I've seen posts mentioning product ID and vendor ID. As far as I can see the H100I RGB Platinum is connected in Port_#0014.HUB_#0001, vendor id: 1b1c, product id: 0C18. I'm not sure how to proceed from here. Any advice for a rookie? I'm using an Asus ROG STRIX B450-F Gaming Mobo, if that is relevant in any way.
