  1. Hi c-attack, Good to have your reply again. I also notice that clicking on the default gives me nothing to change. As you said, I now understand it is hidden. So I can just leave it as is, correct? It will spin up when the whole thing get as hot as 40C? I do not want to setup profile as I am never good at setting fan curve. By the way, while you are here, like to ask 1 more question: are there any flat cable mod for this RM 850i PSU? The 24-pin cable is really too thick just make aesthetics look not nice.
  2. Thanks for your reply Nazqul. Are you saying that your PSU temperature was 34.5C and the fan isn't spinning? I want to be sure about that.
  3. Hi Corsair, I'm using a newly purchased RMi 850W PSU and has it connected to the motherboard USB header for iCUE software to monitor it. iCUE discovers the PUS, that's good thing. However, when I went into Performance and checked out the fan profile, there was only 1 which is called "Default". And I checked the fan speed which showed 0 rpm. At that time, the temperature was hovering around 27.5 Celsius. Does that mean the no matter how hot the temperature turns out to be, the fan will never spin up if I stick to this "Default" profile? Thanks for your attention. Rgds
  4. I have finally get the whole system up and running and iCUE is installed. iCUE reports the temperature is 27C. Is it referring to the MB or the PUMP or the CPU? Also, now I have a visual confirmation of what I imagined before. Despite the two PWM fans' headers are not connected to any fan header on the motherboard, their speeds are being reported from within iCUE, it's quite a magic. The Quiet setting makes them running at high 900 rpm. As to the pump, it reports 2012 rmp something like that. My H60 1st gen had 4,000 rpm. Why the H100i being an advanced AIO has its pump running slower?
  5. Hi First time use these two software after building a completely new rig, I have installed both software Is it okay for them to coexists? And what is the use of Corsair LINK? Corsair products I have are H100i PRO RGB and RMx 850W
  6. I have connected the USB cable to the mobo, do I download the iCUE software so that I can monitor the voltages, wattage and all those?
  7. 6 years after previous build using Corsair products PSU, AIO and memory I find today's Corsair products are stranger!!! get frustrated! I have another problem, trying to hook up the graphics card, but look at the power cord, they are so thick, which connector should I use? are both the same? If I choose the thicker one, I wont be able to bend it to close the case with the tempered glass, it's the Masterbox MB511 Look at the svcreen shot!!!!!!!!!!
  8. Thanks c_attack for your efforts to help. I think I am going to choose the default option (the instruction manual) although the wiring will somehow destroys the tidiness. But as it is needed, I will certainly follow the default method plus the fact that now I know why things have to be connected as they should.
  9. I seek help from everywhere, and some replied me with the following advices: "AIO systems introduce a small dilemma that mobo fan control systems did not anticipate, and there are various ways that these are handled. You also need to understand that the CPU_FAN and other headers have FOUR functions: provide power to the connected device; display the speed of that device; control the speed of that device; and, monitor that device's speed signal for FAILURE and take appropriate action if such failure is detected. For the CPU in particular, many mobos take quick and significant ation in the event of failure of CPU cooling, including immediate warning displays and often including rapid system shut-down even without waiting for the sensor inside the CPU chip to show high temps. In the case of AIO systems, there are two devices involved in CPU cooling - the pump and the rad fan(s). Of these, the PUMP is more important for failure monitoring because without that there is VERY LITTLE cooling, whereas failure of one or even all fans on the rad leaves some cooling working, just not enough. The way Corsair's H100i system does these jobs is this. (And yes, this is different from the way their older H60 system did it.) There is a 3-pin connection from the PUMP to the mobo's CPU_FAN header which feeds the speed of the PUMP to that header where it can be monitored for FAILURE; it also is available for display and as info accessible by other systems. The pump gets all power for itself and the rad fans directly from the PSU via its SATA power input cable. The pump housing also contains all the circuitry to power and control the rad fans, and in this system there is NO mobo involvement in rad fan control. To do this you MUST connect the rad fans to the outputs from the PUMP unit. There is a cable connecting the pump to a mobo USB2 header, and that is the communication link between it and the iCue software utility that you must download and run. THAT utility will monitor and display the pump speed via the info it gets from the CPU_FAN header. It also completely takes over control, display and failure monitoring of the rad fan speeds, so that is the only place you can "see" those speeds. Control of CPU cooling is done solely by varying the speeds of the rad fans; the pump speed is usually full speed although some options may be available to you in iCue. Your mobo has some fan headers suited to use with AIO systems that operate differently. The Corsair H100i system was designed for use even without those additional headers and does not require them."
  10. Many thanks DevBiker for your replies. When c_attack said: "you might want to give the H100i Platinum's fan controller a try. You will be able to access it from the desktop vs the BIOS. That will make finding your preferred fan range a lot easier. Also, you will be able to see coolant temp and thus have a better indicator if more/less fan speed is doing anything, or you are just spinning your wheels (fans). If you are opposed to running from coolant temperature and want to run from CPU temp for whatever reason, I do think the MB/BIOS fan headers have an advantage for this." Those are native sensors to the MB." How do I try out the Platinum fan controller? My installation has been put on hold and I wish to proceed without further delay. Could you confirm one more time that if both of the followings will work without damaging the pump and the fans and advise which plan is better for long term? I do not want to change the arrangement once that's installed. Plan A 1) Connect the pump tachometer 3-pin to the CPU_FAN header. 2) Connect the two fans' connectors to OPT_FAN and CHA_FAN2 (because CHA_FAN1 is designated to the rear exhaust fan of the case) 3) Connect the USB cable to the pump and one of the 10-1 pins USB 2.0 header on the motherboard. 4) Leave the y-splitter from the pump without connecting anything to it. Plan B Connect everything according to the manual. Lastly, I find moving the pump's orientation such that the "Corsair" logo is horizontally displayed without rotating it by 90 degrees or 180 degrees requires a bit more twisting it. I hold on doing that lest that will bend the tubes too much resulting in leaks. Are the tubes and the suctions to the pump capable of withstanding a bit more twisting force? If they can't I'll just leave that.
  11. Deeply impressed by your great knowledge about the Asus board and the H100i PRO. I have just read some other threads on other forums saying that the reason the H100i PRO requires the Tachometer wire to be connected to CPU_FAN header is because only that header can detect CPU failure and temperature overheat, other headers won't do, is that the case? 10K themistor wire - Is that the one which comes with the Motherboard package? If it was previously named as CHA_FAN3, 4, 5...etc then the fact eases my mind! It's just another control. So is it true that CPU_FAN really is the only control which can detect CPU failure and overheat ? Another relief! It's a 3-pin anyway, it doesn't control the speed, it just feeds info to the bios. Good to know that iCUE can even detect the fluid temperature, quite impressive actually. But getting this fan controller means investing more? I have already spent +$1,000 on the new rig, better consider it later.
  12. Thanks c-attack, I was stuck at the password thingy so could reply sooner. I highly appreciate your reply with technical details yet very concise and precise. The F does have a sensor probe in the form of a cable, I used one of those previously but need a quick glance to the manual for how to deploy it. Thanks for explaining what the 3-pin is for and your suggestions regarding how to use the splitter. And great thanks for reminding me about the CPU_FAN and CPU_OPT, Asus technical support in the region I live in have no such knowledge about the headers. I mentioned in my original post that there are 7 headers CPU_FAN, CPU_OPT, AIO_PUMP, CHA_FAN1, CHA_FAN2, W_PUMP+ and M.2_FAN. After you've explained about the functionality of the CPU_FAN and CPU_OPT I logically infer that the other headers must have their own characteristics and behaviours in response to current and temperature. If I may ask, given that CPU_FAN and CPU_OPT are not recommended because of their over-sensitivity, can I arrange the two fans' control as follows: Option A) still connect the two fan to CPU_FAN and CPU_OPT but set the curve to a constant value of 100%. Reason being, if connect them according to the manual, the two fans will set to run at 100% anyway, right, so why not just connect them directly to the two headers and set them via the bios/MB? Option B) use CHA_FAN1 or CHA_FAN2 using a 4 pin PWM splitter and set a curve for them according to the CPU temperature? The above 2 options must have their pro and con, which one would you recommend? As to the 3 pin tachometer cable, if its purpose is to feed the rpm value to the BIOS, can I plug it into the AIO_PUMP header and set it to run 100% full speed? Regarding iCUE, I am not refraining from using it. One reason is that I have also purchased your RMx 850W PSU, a rather powerful PSU and expensive and it also comes with a USB cable for monitoring control. So anyway I will have to use iCUE, also despite I am no big fan of RGB stuffs, I don't mind a bit of them as pump RGB is rather reasonable. Besides, I have purchased the MasterBox MB511 which comes with 3 RGB fans with separate RGB controller, the case will be like some circus stunt thing anyway. The reason I want to keep the bios/MB is because I want to have more options, in case either one of them fail I still have another alternative there.
  13. Corsair team, I have a problem: I am building a new system. I have bought the H100i PRO RGB. The motherboard is Asus ROG Strix Z390-F. It has a total of 7 fan headers, CPU_FAN, CPU_CPU_OPT, AIO_PUMP, CHA_FAN1, CHA_FAN2, W_PUMP+ and M.2_FAN. I have no problems getting the fans and radiator hooked up and fitted to the roof of the case. That's part is done. Now I am in the middle of installing the pump to the CPU and before I fit it into the socket, I notice there are 3 cables: 1) SATA ---- This one I know it is required to connect to the PSU SATA cable, I have no problem with it. 2) The 3-pin female connector 3) A Y-split cable with two male 4 pin connectors. I have connected the two fan's cables to the CPU_FAN and OPT_FAN on my motherboard. Can I leave the Y-split cable and connect the 3-pin female connector to one of the fan headers like AIO_PUMP on my motherboard? I understand this is not as instructed in the manual. Because I want to monitor the 2 fan's speed and the pump speeds in BIOS, so I connect them this way. Will this arrangement damage the pump?
  14. Greetings, I am planning a new PC that incorporates the one of the Hydro Series AIO coolers inside the 275R Airflow and would like some input whether or not this will all work. Parts: H80i v2 2x LL120 Fans RM 850W PSU Question: Are all the stock fans the LL120 non-RGB? Setup questions: Is it possible to fit the H80 to the rear fan position? If yes, would the rear stock fan fit into the front bottom at the front panel position and at the same time I can fit the 2 LL120 fans to the roofs without interfering with the H80? If No, can the H80 be fit to the roof of the case closer to the rear or more towards to the front? Can the case accommodate the RM 850W PSU? As this case is rather new, reviews from various enthusiastic websites are not available yet. I would like to ask if this is a improved version of the SPEC-06 from the thermals point of views? Lastly, the SPEC-06 is very similar to this new case from my observation, is my observation correct? If yes, since the SPEC-06 is 17mm longer than this case, what functionalities or facilities are missing because if this lesser length of the new case? Many thanks for your replies in advance.
