  1. If your curious, buildzoid did a breakdown on the MMB (you can scroll through it) to see what new chipset they are using for USB and yes; its a newer one indeed.
  2. Question for you guys, I've got my rig set up and working wonderfully. I'll be switching video cards to a 2080 ti on water within a month. When I do this I have to drain the loop. So.... I was contemplating adding a Bitspower G 1/4" Temperature Sensor Plug Fitting with O-Ring into the bottom of my EK-RES X3 250 reservoir. Question - will the Bitspower G 1/4" Temperature Sensor Plug work on/with the temperature senor input for the corsair commander pro? I'm not sure if the commander pro uses standard temp sensors or if they are proprietary? FMI; link to the sensor I'd love to know the water temp compared to all the other metrics I'm gathering. ------------------If your curious here is the build-- -------------- Threadripper 1950x @ 4.0ghz all core with a EK full cover mono-block (vrm cooled too) using a custom single loop /w 3 rads (2x360mm ek slim and one 280mm x 45mm EK), 9 corsair ML fans (6x360mm, 3x140mm) duel d5 inline pumps and a 250 x3 reservoir; 1800ML coolant for the system. All in a Thermaltake View 71 case (sorry corsair; your crystal case couldn't fit it all which makes me sad ... needed a little more room for the rez and cabling.) Best part with these fans - when the entire system is maxed (including GPU which is a Vega Frontier air cooled for now till the switch) the MAX DBa output from the chair is only 41dba - Maxed CPU only 34 dba (so i'll get a LOT quieter when i add the 2080ti on water in - looking forward to it).
  3. Thank you for all the info - I was worried that this wouldn't work with the thicker rads. I've been toying around with the idea of doing a 360 slim in the front or changing the rads out if I had too, but if I can get them to work that would be wonderful. Sounds like if I want to do the rad at the top I would be better off if I also picked up EK-FB MSI X399 GAMING RGB Monoblock - Nickel which would then remove the VRM heatsink issue (give me better cooling too i guess). So basically what I'm looking at if I have this right is - use the above mono-block - possibly put the PE240 up top (and if it doesn't fit then down below for bottom intake) and the CE280 for front intake.. If I am able to squeeze the PE240 to the top then I "might" have enough room to fit another 280mm down below for a upgraded. Yes the video card is standard AMD Founder card (will be replaced with a nvidia 2080ti water-block when I can... (hence why I'd like another rad in there). BUT all being said - it sounds like this case will work as a replacement to my green monster, which is good; time for a change. Did I miss anything from your post that's not jumping out at me?
  4. I'm looking to switch cases from the Vengeance C70 to the Crystal 680x I'm hoping that perhaps this case will work as I'm trying to get away from my "green monster" build. Please also forgive me for not using Corsair stuff -but until recently they didn't have their pro line of water cooling out... so... I used EK stuff. Here is what I currently have in it; MSI X399 Gaming Pro Carbon AC running a Threadripper 1950x AMD Vega Frontier EVGA SuperNOVA 1300 G2 PSU (200MM long) The cooling for this setup in the old case is: EK-CoolStream CE 280 (Dual) - Dimensions: 320 x 145 x 45mm (L x W x H) with two EK-Vardar EVO 140ER Black BB (500-2000rpm) fans EK-CoolStream PE 240 (Dual) - Dimensions: 280 x 130 x 38mm (L x W x H) with two EK-Vardar EVO 120ER Black BB (500-2200rpm) fans EK-XRES 140 Revo D5 PWM (incl. sleeved pump) pump and res. Add 2 additional case fans; one on the lower side window intake and one exhaust above the MMB at the back - these are just the original non PWM case fans that came with the c70. Funny thing is that the top rad is the CE280 and the vardar fans are on the OUTSIDE of the case at the top... only way it would fit... With respect to the Crystal 680x; will this stuff fit? I know that the pump and res probably have to go in the back accessory area; funny enough the "corsair configurator for the new hydroX series shows this too here "bfZatf". My main concern in the radiators; the EK radiators are not the slim ones but both are thick. The CE280 - Dimensions: 320 x 145 x 45mm (L x W x H) and the PE240 - Dimensions: 280 x 130 x 38mm (L x W x H) with the vardar fans also another 25mm thick on top of the rad. Will there be enough room for the radiators + fans with this case or am I looking at having to switch radiators out to the skinny type which may be a deal breaker for me. looking at the images from the corsair site for the 680x; I'm thinking of putting the CE280 on the top with the PE240 in the front - not totally sure if evertying will line up and if there will be a problem with the thickness of the rads and fans at the top and sides of the case. Perhaps I could put the ce280 at the bottom of the case if this is an issue... Your thoughts guys; will this work?
  5. Out of curiosity, were you shipping international or just to the US? Oh, and if you ordered via using a credit card i’d have the CC place a HOLD PAYMENT on that order.... that usually gets companies motivated to fix shipping issues.
  6. Honestly, this is quite unsettling for me. Over the last couple of years i’ve Viewed various threads here like this regarding support issues. As a prospective buyer of a Corsair i160 (next week most likely) i’m Honestly hesitant to do so seeing issues like this. The flip side to this of course is that you only ever hear about the squeaky wheel - never the other 3 good operating ones. I’d like to think that, for the most part, others have had a better RMA experience but alas - due to the nature of forums I have no idea and am only hearing the bad. Good support is a must!
  7. Interesting - i’d like to know the answer to this as well. Are you able to have alarms set to go off if temps get to high with the included Corsair software?
  8. Some reviews that have the listed performance on some of these titles or comparable ones at various resolutions: [ame] [/ame] [ame] [/ame] [ame] [/ame] [ame] [/ame] There is a ton of reviews out there that show the units rather good performance.
