dreamdaddy Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) I'm having weird behavior on my H115 AIO. When any of the RGB profiles are used, the liquid temp goes up to ~39 degrees and the fans max out. When the RGB is turned off, it'll go back to normal temps (with the same fan curves). Haven't had this issue until recently. Any ideas? [ame] [/ame] Edited February 10, 2020 by dreamdaddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamdaddy Posted February 10, 2020 Author Share Posted February 10, 2020 I reinstalled iCue and it still has the same behavior. I'm puzzled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-attack Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 This was an old issue I thought I had been resolved. The LED light in the pump causes a "false temp rise" on the reporting sensor. It is affected by the LED brightness (heat), so a full 255/255/255 white will have a much more noticeable effect than say a soft dark blue at 0/0/125. I am not aware of the current status of this. Are you up to date on your firmware? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdebaum Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I think there's something special about the coolant temp sensor in H115 Plat which makes it sensitive also to external/non-coolant related temperature. In your case, LED generated heat in the AIO pump housing makes it higher. In my case, with the custom H115 Plat used for CPU in my Corsair One system, some other source in the cooler (no LED in this custom AIO) makes the coolant temp reads higher than it should be (about 4 to 5C higher). It has to be external source or defective sensor, because my CPU temps are great and yet the coolant temp is always 4-5C higher, at idle after a long time, where it should normally settle to about the same temp than CPU in this convection assisted system. Hence my contention that the coolant sensor in H115 Plat is compromised, maybe not isolated sufficiently, or some calibration issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamdaddy Posted February 13, 2020 Author Share Posted February 13, 2020 Oddly Ive figured out that the ML RGBs are the culprit. With RGB lighting on just the pump, idle water temp is 30.2 C. Turning on the RGB for the fans increases it 38. Very annoyed as it was working fine before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-attack Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 That is interesting and suggest the lighting controller rather than the pump ring is the proximity heat source. If you have other Corsair RGB fans and existing LNP/RGB hub(s) in place, getting of the Platinum controller may alleviate this. If not, you might see if some colors/patterns are worse than others. White might be best avoided. You can also contact Corsair tech support and see what they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamdaddy Posted February 18, 2020 Author Share Posted February 18, 2020 So... just to update. I've contacted corsair about RMA but they haven't got back to me. I plugged AIO fans RGB leads into the controller for the LL case fans and the temperatures aren't affected LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatBou Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I have the same issue ! I was using "pure white" led colors so i noticed right away the rise on the temperature sensor. It goes from 25 to 37 degrees It was not like that before the last firmware update H115I : v.1.01.15 Software :3.27.68 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My RGB for the AIO is being controlled by a CoPro though in case that makes any difference. Also I'm using a custom fan profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatBou Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 As you can see thats the problem here ( from 29 to 40 degrees ): [ame= ] [/ame] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turning on the RGB for the fans increases it 38. Very annoyed as it was working fine before. i have this issue too in this moment with my h100i platinum. high temp only if RGB on fans +10C. i have last version iCUE & firmware. reinstalling doesn't help. how can i fix it?

DonDiggyDown Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 it happens randomly a couple of times a week or month. if anyone had the same how you fixed it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberaxcess Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I have the opposite problem... if I turn the brightness DOWN (as per in the video) the temp goes UP :bigeyes: Did some tests with all the RGB and am seeing the same problem, some colors the temp goes up, some the temp goes down a bit. However: - if I disable the RGB (by deleting the lighting effects) the temp went up. - If I disable just the lighting on the center of the aio pump, the temp is at least 1 degree lower! - If I have on only the center the temp goes up (from having only the center off) - Making any of the colors black makes the temp go up! I'm confused... something screwy going on... :sigh!: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-attack Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I have the opposite problem... if I turn the brightness DOWN (as per in the video) the temp goes UP :bigeyes: There have been a few others who also seen the reverse of what's expected, with temps increasing while the LEDs are off and going down when on white. It does not make sense from the sensor to LED proximity theory, but it doesn't really matter either way. It makes the cooler's native controls unusable in concurrence with the lighting, which is a key feature. Contact Corsair Support. If you are only seeing shifts of 1-2C, that is pretty good and maybe something you can live with. Most users who run into this are seeing shifts of 4-7C which is representative of an actual max CPU load or a few who climbed to double digits, which is plain crazy.

I am seeing only between 1-2 degrees, so I can live with it. I'll contact Corsair support so that they are at least aware of it (and add to the number people having the issue) and hopefully they can fix it along the way.
