  1. I'm thinking of getting a new case and 10 QL120 fans. Now in the top post's description of the QL fans it says the following: Is the same also true for the RGB Channels of the Commander Pro or can the Commander Pro light up to 12 QL fans (with two RGB Fan Hubs)? I'm trying to figure out if I'll get by with my current Commander Pro or need to get an additional one (or Lighting Node Core) to light up all 10 QL fans.
  2. More than one software trying to access the sensors at the same time will cause the problem. To still be able to use HWInfo while iCue is active, you'll have to prevent the former to read the sensors of the H115i. To do this, start HWInfo64, go to Settings, Safety and untick "CorsairLink and Asetek Support". This will stop HWInfo from trying to read the H115i's sensors. You might have to restart the software before the changes will take. On a side note, to prevent other issues with iCue, you can also disable it from Windows startup and only manually start iCue if you want to change fan curves/speeds or RGB lighting. Unless you really need to keep iCue running for some of the Advanced features of iCue (non-Hardware lighting, support for Corsair keyboards and mice, etc.). iCue also has high CPU usage so not having it run in the background may be preferable.
  3. It looks like it's back as I just got an update notification for the H115i RGB Platinum 1.01.15. Have the issues with it been fixed?
  4. The Blizzard App seems to cause the disconnects at times, just like Steam used to.
  5. Set your pump to Extreme. It helps my 9900K's temperatures a bit. And no, it won't die prematurely, they are designed to run at Extreme speed. The 9900K still is a very hot CPU, though. Plugging in the CPU fan header to the motherboard is always a good idea. If you have a newer, SATA powered cooler like the H115i RGB Platinum or Pro, it will only be used to tell the mainboard that the pump is still working (by reporting RPM), though, which can be handy if your mainboard has a CPU fan warning. Older coolers that were powered by the fan header need to be plugged in for them to even work. Hot air rises. That's why you usually want the exhaust to be on top (or at the very least higher than the intake). It also depends on the design of the case, though. You can try it out, but check what it does with your airflow and the temperature of the rest of your components. What I'd suggest to do if your case allows it is mount the radiator in the front intake. If you have no additional intake fans (or even if you do), I'd recommend a pull configuration pulling in cool air or - more ideally - a push/pull configuration (those two options should keep airflow inside the case better than push through the radiator). Use the Exhaust location for regular fans. Even early reviews indicated this thing was running hot, thus it wasn't really a surprise to me (and it's predecessors ran kinda hot as well, although not to that level, but they also had less cores at lower clockspeeds). That may have been the case with older AMD CPU Generations compared to older Intel CPU generations. AMD CPUs with the ZEN architecture actually run much cooler (depends on cores, clockspeed, voltage, etc.. of course). Things should improve even more with the Ryzen 3000 series. Intel is pushing the limits of their aged manufacturing process/node nowadays since they can't compete with AMD in that regard and the 9900K is a hot mess due to it.
  6. Was du noch versuchen könntest ist die Pumpe für ca. 15 Sekunden auf Extreme, dann 15 Sekunden auf Quiet zu stellen und das immer wieder zu wiederholen bis hoffentlich Besserung eintritt. Dazu eventuell noch auf die Schläuche klopfen. Du könntest auch versuchen, den Radiator umzudrehen und zu schauen, ob es dann besser ist. Oder auch den CPU Block. Ist aber schon merkwürdig, dass es bei so vielen Geräten gleich ist. Sind die von der selben charge?
  7. I've also experienced such a Kernel Mode Trap BSOD after updating the firmware of my H115i RGB Platinum to v1.01.15 (sadly, the system couldn't complete the memory dump to analyze either). It only happened once so I originally discarded it as a fluke, but since you brought it up and I hadn't changed anything else about my system before this happened, it very well could be that the new firmware is causing such a BSOD. From what I can see from glancing at your System specs, the common denominator between our systems besides the Platinum cooler seems that we're both on Intel Core i9 9900K CPUs with Z390 chipset mainboards and GeForce RTX 2080 Ti video cards. Has anybody else been experiencing this?
  8. I assume the 90°C+ was with AVX2+ enabled in Prime95. As devbiker said before, this shreds Intel CPUs with AVX2+ support. What's the highest your VCore voltage goes to when testing with it? In any case, Prime95 with AVX2+ (or even without) is an extreme case which one doesn't typically reach under normal use condition (except perhaps for some professional applications), and many overclockers nowadays don't worry much about Prime stability anymore due to this. What you should worry about are stability and temperatures under your normal use cases. That said, I'd think your temperatures under these conditions are pretty normal, though. Try to set your pump to Extreme and see if that helps shave off a couple of degrees. You might also want to try to reseat your cooler. Perhaps using a high-end thermal paste like Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut (that's what I use, thus I can recommend it) would help a little as well. Using a 280mm or 360mm cooler (if your case has room for it) might help a bit as well compared to the 240mm, so you might consider swapping the H100i RGB Platinum for the H115i RGB Platinum or the H150i Pro if it fits your case and you can are still in the window to return your cooler to the store. You may also be able to set your AVX offset to 2 or 3 which will decrease your CPU multiplier under AVX load. That might allow you to lower the voltage a bit, which in turn will allow for cooler CPU temperatures. If you really want to experience much lower temperatures than what you have with AVX, you likely won't get around a good custom loop, however.
  9. Oddly enough. The "Balanced" 2400RPM pump profile always seems to have yielded slightly higher core temperatures than "Extreme" 3000RPM for me. Still, my question was where to get the old firmware, not what the changes were so I can do some proper tests with each (including coolant/Core temp/room temp delta etc.). The differences I've seen may very well be within the tolerance, but I'd like to test it out and see what I get over a larger sample size. The question is, does anybody have the older firmware and is it possible to flash it back? Too bad that I've sold my backup cooler of the same model with my old system recently.
  10. Well, it's my extreme cooling profile with fans at full blast, so the curve adjustments don't apply here (although I do certainly understand how the accurate temperature readings would help when you run your fans curve-based compared to fixed fan speed). The room temperature is about the same as yesterday when I had cooler core temperatures. I didn't check the delta between coolant and room when I tested earlier nor yesterday (I really should have, though), I just saw an increase in CPU core temperatures of 2-4°C (Depending on the core) after roughly an hour or so under full AVX2 load compared to what it was yesterday before the firmware update. Hopefully this is just a bug and the next firmware will restore the 3000RPM Extreme pump speed. In any case, I'd like to get my hands on the previous firmware, I couldn't find it when doing a web search, so I'm hoping someone can provide it.
  11. Same problem with my H115i RGB Platinum after the firmware update. I've always been running with the "Extreme" Pump speed since the "Balanced" wasn't enough. I'm getting slightly higher peak core temperatures at full load but also at lower loads with this firmware than with the old one. One of the reasons I got this cooler was because of the fast pump and I haven't had any complaints about temperatures or independent fan control either. Needless to say, I'm not happy with this new firmware. Is there any way to roll back to the previous one?
  12. No, they didn't. This is probably by design to reset the cooler to whatever is set in iCue when iCue is starting up, though. It still would be nice to get an option to disable such behavior, however. In HWinfo64, untick Settings->Safety->CorsairLink and Asetek Support.
  13. Did you connect it to an internal USB header as well as a SATA power cable? Did your OS recognize it at all? You could try connecting it to a different USB header or use a Mini USB to USB-A cable and connect it to an external USB port to see if that helps.
  14. No, I don't think so. On my system it consumes 0.3-0.8% of the 9900k. 0.3-0.4% when iCue is "closed" and running in tray only mode, 0.5-0.8% with iCue open or minimized to the taskbar.
