knockouta Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Hello, i tried to find a similar thread but i didn't. I installed my H150i Pro with i7-8700K and the pump was always at low RPM (~1200). Today i noticed that the pump is running with 3570-3600 RPM also on quit mode. I installed today one 960 Evo but i don't know from when the pump is running with these speeds. I tried Corsair LINK 4 and the new software iCUE. The pump is wired on the CPU_FAN header. The fans are running 550 RPM (before were about 300). I hope you can help me.

DevBiker Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Did you click on the Pump itself and try to change it there? Or did you just set the profile? And are you seeing any variation in both pump and fan speeds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-attack Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 3500+ is a bit high on the pump speed. The Performance or Extreme (iCUE) setting should only take it to about 3000, with Quiet at 1100-1200 and Balanced in the 2100 area. The fan speed is based on coolant temperature (H150i PRO Temp) and that likely also defaults to quiet. Your coolant temp looks normal compared to other figures, so there does not appear to be a fatal flaw. Nevertheless, the lack of control and the over-reaching pump are concerning. Most of the time a pump running that much over the mark doesn't end up with a long life. This feels like a pump controller issue and if true, not something you can fix on your own. I would contact Corsair directly through the Support Ticket System at the top of this page. If you just purchased it and have friendly return options, I would exchange it for another. This is the first complaint of this nature I have seen. So when you select "Balanced" for the pump, it does not respond and sits at the minimum 1100? Do the fans respond? Click on the one of the three fans and set it to maximum (about 1150 rpm) and then back to whatever you have it on now. Try for each one. I am curious about your #2 fan. It is a 100 rpm over the other two in the screen shot. That also is a bit out of specification, if they are all on the same fan profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knockouta Posted April 29, 2018 Author Share Posted April 29, 2018 The fans are responding on each profile. But the pump sits only on 3600 RPM no matter which profile i choose. About fan #2 it is possible that yesterday it was on different profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-attack Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I still think this is a hardware issue, but what version of Link did you use? Stay away from Link 4.9.6. Locked controls were a very common issue on that version, but it also affected everything (pump, fan, lights). This happens on iCUE 3.2.87 as well?

If i have not installed any corsair software and i install iCUE for first it doesn't finds the cooler (the cooler is only recognized from windows as usb device). I have to install LINK 4 first and than iCUE. I think iCUE does not have the drivers. I will return it this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevBiker Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 The drivers are included with iCue. You can actually find them in the installation folder ... in a folder called "drivers". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pre-installed my computer two times since i have the cooler and both times when i first installed iCUE it didn't found it. Two times, same conditions.

DevBiker Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 So ... to make sure ... you have the USB cable connected? Have you tried using a microUSB to USB-A cable to route to your I/O panel (yes, it's ugly but it works ... would help us understand if it's a cable/header or a pump issue)? Have you used USBDeView (http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html) to see if it's recognized at all by Windows (if Windows doesn't "see" it, iCue won't)? The vendor ID is 1b1c and the Product Id is 0c12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vendor ID is 1b1c and the Product Id is 0c12. If the USB is not connected i will not be able to see the RPM. But i tried and there is no difference. At the moment that i start the PC i can hear the pump working on full speed (before was starting quietly). THe USBDeView is showing the values that you wrote. The system is not OC. iCUE screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/p2E0qcq Aida64 schreenshot on idle: https://imgur.com/a/Lp0qcRf Edited April 30, 2018 by knockouta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevBiker Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 OK ... I thought you said that iCue didn't find it. It does. That's unusual. I would guess - at this point - that something is wrong with the pump control. You shouldn't be at that pump speed when set to Quiet. I have the H115i PRO - essentially the same cooler with a different radiator - and the pump speed changes within a couple of seconds of changing it from Quiet to Balanced to Extreme. I would suggest contact Corsair support to see what they say about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
