How are the noise and temps and it currently sits now?

After taking the massive fan shield off, the card itself is actually smaller that ever before. It should be pretty easy for those willing to upgrade. (20 series systems) Not too sure about the 10 series systems as the pump hoses are shorter.

Just get the i65 if you have a chance. Things aren’t getting any better with supply chains. Couple that with an OEM needing to source the parts to create new systems, its gonna be costly. Its gonna get messy soon with China

You know what’s crazy about that..... re-pasting should NOT void a warranty. Its not rocket science! Changing out memory could cause more issues with the Motherboard, socket and or the memory itself. Would like to get an answer back from Corsair though....

That depends.... Does repasting the GPU void a warranty? :p

Wanted to share that I have seen temps rise on a few machines in my fleet. (All 1080ti’s) This procedure is pretty simple and will save you from killing your GPU. After taking the cooler off, the original thermal film pad has actually become powder. Additionally, it had never been making contact on 25-30% of the GPU surface!!! (Towards the middle, not the edges) Do yourself a favor... Purchase yourself some Thermal Grizzly and repaste it ASAP. Temps went from low 80’ to high 50 low 60s!!!! FFXV 4K over at over an hour tested. Ten bucks and 30 minutes of your time.

Was referring more to Apple selling a static device with no upgrade path. I agree that Corsairs service stinks!! I requested Corsairs help and it took them 9 days to ask me to reset the CMOS. - Just forget it... I went strait to Intel for my CPU replacement. I mean.. who do they think they are selling these Corsair One's to? This system is an enthusiast device and these tactics are just plain insulting. Its an awesome piece of tech, but if it breaks, your down a computer for over a month and treated like a number. And lastly... Corsair will not honor their two year warranty. If it has been given, sold, or any other transfer of ownership.. kiss your warranty goodbye. In this day and age.. Who does NOT honor the system by serial number? This was the final straw! If your reading this Corsair, I would love to have my system serviced that has a failed 1080ti. - And yes... I have 5 total Ones in my fleet. I would like to see Corsair step up and be Gold Standard in the PC industry/space. We all use and trust their devices! I was blown away when I started receiving service (or should I say non-service) treatment from Corsair that I would expect from Minh Tran and their Razer Trash. Fix this Corsair!

Hello, We were successful in upgrading my 8700K to a 9700K. (8700k went bad) I was actually blown away that it had not been locked down. Thank you Corsair for not being total control freaks. In turn, I also upgraded the PSU to the SF750 to be safe and leave plenty of headroom for the components. (Up from 500) You know... the only thing I object to is the lack of owners being able to order replacement pumps/rads. This is not cool and makes them look like Apple.
