Roscharch Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Well, I plugged all cables, fans, usb, power, and turn on the computer and not look at any time no light, starts the OS, but does not detect any hardware change, I open the device manager and I see listed the H80i, force a detection hardware changes and does not detect anything new. I tested this with both the provided USB cable, plugged directly into motherboard as a regular USB cable, plugged into an external usb, with the same result. I've never gotten him ever detected nor seen any LED on. After that, I installed the software Corsair Link 2 rc-v2_4_4948 but not detected at all any H80i and logically does not report its firmware version. If I try to update the FW manually, it reports that it doesn't detects any H80i. What can I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 That MB has the P35 chipset and if memory serves me right it has both USB1.1 and USB 2.0 ports. Please make sure you are using the USB2.0 ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roscharch Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 I've been looking at the specs of the USB ports on the motherboard manual, and all of them (6 external and 2 internal) are USB 2.0. Anyway, given your notice, I tried plugging in all of them, with the same result, nothing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Does the L.E.Ds turn on then off when you power on the computer? Are the fans being controlled normally? It might be a faulty firmware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roscharch Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 No LEDs, never. I had to connect the fans directly to the MB because if I connect them to H80i them makes a loud and annoying noise. A few months ago, shortly after buying the H80i, I requested an RMA to change the supplied fans because they were noisy. I was sent a new pair with 4-pin connector. It is supposed i've to update the firmware to be able to use them, which I can not do. If I plug them to the H80i still makes a lot of noise, which is very annoying if for some time. So I decided to plug into the motherboard, and the noise disappeared. After that I've been with health problems, and I couldn't devote myself to solve this problem before. May be i've to request an RMA for the whole H80i? (Many thanks for your answers, and sorry my poor english, i'm using a mixture of 'googlematic' translator and school memories) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
