  1. So i just got the new Dark Core Pro mouse, when i plug the USB dongle in it doesn't detect it in Windows and the 'initialize' button is grayed out, tried it on two different computers and multiple different USB ports, i bought this mouse as a replacement for my 2nd M65 Elite that had left click issues hoping for an improvement but here we are with yet more frustration. Any ideas what i can do?
  2. It's fine, i realise you weren't telling me to specifically get that one. I can't see any measurement of the old H115i that goes above 27mm, it'd be weird for them to report the inner measurements and a little annoying for people in my position. I might do some measuring tonight to see the true depth of the radiator and if i think i can squeeze the Pro in, i'll get that and return the other one.
  3. The H115i PRO is showing as 29mm on the Corsair site, the regular H115i is 26mm and the CPU power cable at the top of the mobo is already touching the bottom of the fans on my H115i, i don't think i have 3mm to spare. Even the Platinum is bigger according to the website. I know i can just stick with the fans i have but if i get better fans with the new cooler then it makes sense to not waste them, meaning another fan needing to be purchased if i want the system to match. But the size of the radiator is still the main concern. If the measurements on the website are wrong and they are 100% the same thickness with no doubts then id probably be happy to cancel my order and get the Pro, if it means better reliability.
  4. I don't think the GPU is responsible because that is also water cooled so most of the heat would be contained within the tubing/radiator, rather than being kicked out into the case? I've decided to order a new H115i from Amazon, resisted the temptation to go for the Pro or Platinum because of the price difference and i'd also need to buy an extra fan so the one on my GPU rad matches! (currently using SP120/SP140's) Also there is very little room between the bottom of the radiator and the headers on my mobo so i need to stick with something i know will fit and the newer radiators appear to be slightly deeper. Many thanks for your help!
  5. Just one more note, i just ran it again for 10 mins and the coolant temp only went to 46.6c, i suspect this was because i had it in performance mode the entire time, the beginning of the last test was in quiet mode. Is this still high? Edit: I guess the fact the default LED warning is 45c answers that question, even during that test one hose wasn't warm at all, and tapping it quite a few times did nothing.
  6. Interesting, i actually assumed one hose being cooler is normal, because the fans cool down the hot water coming from one hose in the radiator which gets distributed to the other hose and back into the pump, but i was only guessing. So both hoses should be pretty much the same temp? and the coolant should be what temp? Also just to let you know my 2 fans aren't plugged into the H115i, but into the motherboard, but this wouldn't cause a problem would it? They're still hitting full speed during the benchmark. One question about the RMA, you said i could do both (RMA & buy a new one) does this mean i could buy a new one and get a refund or re-enbursement for the one i buy, meaning i can replace it quickly without going through the RMA process without a computer?
  7. Thank you both for the replies, i'm still having the problem, despite just reseating the cooler and applying fresh paste, the paste appeared to be fine to me (maybe a small bit in the top corner wasn't quite covered) I ran the test for another 10 minutes, i noted that one tube was very warm and the other not so warm, also LINK reported the H115i reaching 55c and the pump running at over 3000rpm. Also, if i turn the computer on without the SATA power cable plugged into the pump, idle temps slowly start to rise, but settle down when i plug it back in. Here is a picture of the bracket. https://i.imgur.com/f2N0Ow3.jpg Something i was curious about is that when you put the stand offs on the motherboard they aren't tight at all, but i'm assuming this is normal based on a quick google search because the pump tightens everything up.
  8. So i put together a new mobo, cpu & ram kit yesterday, going from an ASUS Maximus VII Hero, 4790k & 32GB of DD3 to an ASUS Maximus XI Hero, 9900k & 32GB DD4, i'm using the NZXT H440 case and the Corsair H115i AIO 280mm cooler (roof mounted exhaust) using MX-4 2019 thermal paste, the pump is connected to the AIO pump header and is reported as running at about 1500rpm, although i believe the BIOS reports half the speed for some reason, Corsair LINK reports 3000rpm. I also have an EVGA 1080Ti SC2 Hybrid mounted to the back exhaust and 3 Noctua fans in the front I'd seen plenty of posts prior to installing everything about high 9900k temps and unfortunately i've also fallen victim. I've updated to the latest BIOS version, and all my settings are default apart from my desired fans curves (they're manually set to always run at 83% then at 75c they hit 100% which the latter is forced by the BIOS) i've enabled XMP profile II in order to get my RAM to 3200mhz and i've turned off MCE, i've even manually set the core voltage to 1.25 as it was getting well over 1.3v on stock. Here are my temps running Aida64 for 10 minutes https://i.imgur.com/Nn4U4lg.png Anything here look obviously wrong? Do i need to either re-seat or buy a new cooler? I know the H440 is known for being poor in regards to airflow too but i doubt it's solely to blame. I'm not at home now but IIRC the tubing did feel warm during tests, which implies proper contact? I did hear water swishing around when i first turned the PC on but after that there's no obvious noise coming from it, although my case fans are louder than average. Also the reason for a change in parts is down to the fact i bent pins on my last mobo, because i was re-seating the cooler to get better 4790k temps (which was also hitting 100c in Prime95) and i think in that process i tightened it way too hard (i was literally trying to turn the screws as much as humanly possible) so this time i just tightened them using my fingers then turned them a little more with screwdriver until they tightened naturally. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
  9. Ever since i switched to the M65 Elite from the M65 Pro i have no option in iCUE to save the lighting the the devices memory, meaning that on boot up it displays the default rainbow effect before switching to the static red i have chosen int he software. I have wiped the device memory and forced a firmware update, also running the latest version if iCUE. Can anyone help? Thanks. Edit: Found out about HW profiles in the new software, keyboard still uses the other method.
  10. If possible i'd love a profile that has all the different rainbow effects in one, so vertical rainbow top to bottom, vertical rainbow bottom to top, horizontal rainbow left to right, horizontal rainbow right to left, diagonal rainbow bottom right to top left, diagonal rainbow bottom left to top right, along with any others you can think of and all switch-able using the pause break key. Might be a big job but i'd appreciate it. :)
  11. As per this thread i'm going to request the profile on behalf of 'goomonster3'
  12. Someone else in another thread said when he disabled Legacy USB support and XHCI Mode from 'smart auto' to 'auto' that it stopped all hangs, i've had no hangs after doing a few test reboots so maybe there's something in it.
  13. I tried with the very latest bios for my Maximus Hero VII and it still does it. It seems to only do it when i reboot (not everytime but often). I don't think i've seen it do it from a fresh power on, sometimes it hangs for a very long time, maybe a couple of minutes, saw someone posted this on the ROG forums. There we go Corsair, he told you what the problem is ;):
  14. Hi James, Yes i already have it set up this way, it's a bit strange because i'm not seeing any confirmation from anyone else that it does the same to them but as soon as i disable CUE from starting with the computer the noise stops. Maybe the software is interfering with something else on my computer and that's the real issue but it's very hard to track down. I've just disabled the USB sounds for now.
