Jytra

Just redid my build using the new iCue Link hub and the QX fans, and I'm noticing that the fans ramp up and down to an extreme level, often going from zero rpm to max and back to zero in a matter of seconds. The coolant temps are not fluctuating, and the fans not set on the Hydro X profile are behaving normally. Does the Hydro X profile for the QX series fans pull from the CPU temp instead of coolant temps now? That seems wildly different from the previous Hydro X profiles. EDIT: I also noticed the pump is behaving the same way - ramping up from 2000 rpm to 3300 if the CPU temp spikes instead of basing it on the fluid temps.

Just wanted to say thanks for doing this topic. Recently started doing a hardline build and have been pulling my hair out over the bends. I'm working with a 5000X case doing a layout nearly identical to what Corsair shows on their own site, save for a vertically mounted videocard, and the heating and bending process has been a nightmare. It seems like Corsair's XT tubing is very thermal resistant compared to other brands, and it didn't help that there was some sort of added insert with my cutting kit that said not to exceed 400F heating temps...which resulted in the tube barely becoming pliable after 5 minutes. Higher temps certainly helped quite a bit.
