MattKGregory Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Hey! I got the Corsair H100i GTX for Christmas and so far it's been reasonably okay. It's been a bit loud with the fans but I put it down to the stock fans. Anyway, the past few days the RPM's have been all over the place. The fans can be at around 800 RPM one moment and they suddenly increase their RPM to up to 2,000 in just a few seconds before decreasing again to 800 and it's just a loop like that really. I have tried Corsair link and all of the parts are being detected however I have noticed that the cooler sensor is stuck at reading 140 degrees C for the cooler. With Corsair link opened also, the pump AND the fans were stuck at a permanent 2,500+ RPM (sometimes going up to 2,800). I am wondering if perhaps it could be a problem with the cooler itself and whether an RMA may be necessary? I've sent a ticket to Corsair tech support but I thought I'd also come here to get more opinions :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datakiller24 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Hi, Do a control please. This is how it should be connected: 1. Connections: - 3PIN connector of the CPU block to CPU header on Motherboard - Y connector to CPU block - 2 x 4PIN fans to the Y connector (connected to the coolers CPU block) - Data cable to CPU block , other end to USB header 2. Bios setup: - CPU fan controller disabled / manual 100% / full speed 3. Corsair link - Apply registry mod for win 10 (search in this section for it) - If link wont work properly, reinstall it, do Your fan and pump setup and than save the profile on main screen (bottom left). - The fans always increase the speed to max when windows starts and the CL SW is started (for short time, 1-2 sec) - Pump rpm in performance mode should be around 2700 rpm, fans from the 800 up to 2000+ - If Your are not ok with the factory settings of the fan profiles, just create Your own ;) BR, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 It may be a sensor issue but i'd try running SIV as well (Corsair LINK needs to be closed for it to work) and see whether the readings differ. http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=140665 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter which mode that it is in - the fan speeds won't adjust at all. Creating new fan profiles does not alter the speed either - it's really strange.

Datakiller24 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Hi, Try as Toasted wrote the SIV software also, see what happens. You can find the SIV if You search in this forum. In CL I have also showing one temperature as -70°C on my MB ... (bug). BR, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattKGregory Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 http://i.imgur.com/4SNVV6Y.png Sensor still reads 140C. Hmm. I'm convinced at this point that it's the sensor because if it truly was 140C I doubt I'd be on my PC at this point with a fully functioning CPU :P For some reason though, the fans are currently staying at around 800RPM. I'm not quite sure what is going on right now haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red-ray Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Given the H100iGTX Cooler is reporting temperatures that range from 1.2°C to 140.0°C I expect there is a hardware issue and feel you should request an RMA via https://corsair.secure.force.com/home/home.jsp. I guess the temperature sensor is either faulty or there is a solder dry joint. The H100iGTX does not need any registry edits to make it work on W10 as it's Asetek USB Device rather than a CoolIT HID device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
