Thanks a lot, c-attack! I tried that but didn't work. Basically I disabled almost everything from Startup Apps including iCUE, then ran it after the system booted completely but still iCUE only recognizes the RAM.

Thank you for your help. I have Win11 and tried everything but nothing works. It is really unbelievable this iCUE software, every time gets worse. I will try rolling back to an earlier version.

Hi all, I upgraded to iCUE 5.1.1113 and now it doesn't detect anything. Initially it only detected the DOMINATOR RAM but then after doing a Windows App installation repair, it doesn't detect anything at all. I can see the different devices listed under the Automatic Download but not sure whether it is detecting them or is just because the software was already there. Best regards, Giovanni

I have tried multiple times without success. I close all Apps including ASUS AI Suite etc. run the firmware update, then it crashes, all fans go to 100% utilization and iCUE doesn't recognize the h150i LCD anymore. I need to shutdown, then iCUE will recognize it again but the firmware update fails again. I have the latest iCUE version available v.4.31.168 What would you do? skip to the next firmware version or is it a deeper issue?

Hi everyone, I'm building a new system revamping from an old MOBO/CPU/RAM combination and it is going well. The GPU is heavy and needed a holder, therefore went for the ASUS ROG Herculx. The problem is that the older MOBO, an ASUS Rampage IV Extreme doesn't have any Aura RGB 3pin headers and can't connect the Herculx cable. Since I have installed a Corsair RGB HUB already to control the lighting for a set of QL120mm and QL140mm fans I was wondering whether there is an adapter to connect the two. Basically: - One end of the adapter goes to the Herculx Aura RGB 3 pin cable - Another end would go to the Corsair RGB HUB (I have one RGB slot free). Is there such an adapter or is there any other solution? I was wondering whether a cable adapter from a fan 4pin header to the Herculx 3pin cable would work.

I bought the 3x QL 120mm pack https://www.corsair.com/eu/en/Categories/Products/Fans/RGB-%26-LED-Fans/iCUE-QL-RGB-PWM-Fan/p/CO-9050098-WW but I'm confused about the bundled RGB HUB. I see it has 6 slots but they all seem to be RGB connector slots. Each fan has two separate cables one RGB and one standard FAN connector. The question is, where do I connect the other FAN cable per fan? do I need an extra FAN connector hub? I have built two PCs before but in those cases I used the command core bundled with AIOs where I could connect both types of connectors RGB and FAN connectors but in this case it seems that the RGB HUB supports 6x RGB fan connectors but then I need a solution to connect all the FAN connector cables to .... this is not clear in the quick install guides. Just to recap, the bundled RGB HUB only allows connecting RGB cables for 6x fans not only 3x fans and I need to find and connect the FAN cables somewhere in my system. Can anyone please comment or clarify?

@LeDoyen thanks a lot! I see it’s been out of stock and no notice when it will be available. Anyways, here in Switzerland, all 4090 rtx models are unavailable without a delivery date just like the 3090 rtx when it was released back in 2020. So we’re lagging 2 years behind the rest of the world 😂. I got two rtx 3090 and I know I will only be able to buy the 4090 rtx right before the release of the 5090 rtx. So I still have time to get the Corsair adapter cable.

@axiun I'm very glad to hear that we nailed it. Judging by all the YouTube reviews for the socket 1700 adapters, Thermal Grizzly had the advantage of a clean installation process avoiding over or under torquing. The TG adapter even has markings to rotate evenly and progressively all the four screws. I think from Steve's video, the idea was a first torque backwards until a click is heard, then 90degree per screw, and then progressively 45degree each in a X pattern until all the screws where at a predefined level. So, maybe go for the TG one despite costing a bit more. I have also been contemplating mounting the TG adapter for the extra thermal performance but the extra degree gains for me don't yet justify the assembly risks involved from taking apart a perfectly working system. I think I will wait for the next 13Gen Intel release above the i9-13900 to upgrade my current i9-12900KS and then take the opportunity to install the TG adapter at that point.

Another thing that comes to my mind is the contact and over under pressure when installing the CPU, For example, using the socket adapter for the 1700 from Grizzly and when over torquing or under torquing the adapter onto the socket can cause memory problems. Probably then same when there is a contact issue with the normal installation or bent socket pins. Just an idea probably worth checking.

Thanks a lot c-attack! indeed dialing down on the AVXs is a good plan. btw how about this one? Thermal Grizzly Contact frame for Intel 12th Gen CPUs (LGA 1700). https://www.amazon.de/-/en/gp/product/B09YYQBXQY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2AEWZ68B7P4J7&psc=1 It is supposed to significantly reduce temps 10C under heavy loads. I wonder how well it will work with the h170i ...

OK after an extensive search and capture, found the two RAM boxes 😄 Both show a big number 29-360-177, attached the pics below. and here a pic of the CPUZ:

Hi @TCMathews here is a full report using CPUZ CPU Benchmark. I am fighting some peak CPU temps atm but the RAM is good: https://valid.x86.fr/ivgbtl I need to go to the cellar to find the boxes with the serial numbers.

Hi c-attack! Thanks a lot once more for your timely support! Indeed I ran the CPUZ Ver 2.03.0.x64 and all cores were pretty cool during the Bench CPU test around 30-40C, then on submitting the results it spiked to 80C funny that on submit it spikes and not during the benchmark but anyways all temps were in reasonable ranges so I'm happy: https://valid.x86.fr/gxm1sm The ran the Stress CPU and temps maxed at 88C which I think is still OK-ish not getting close to 100C. Am I out of the woods not having a contact issue and then tick down the Volt usage in BIOS? I am surprised because I left everything in default settings only the XMPII OC configuration. TIA!

Hi everyone, I have the most powerful AIO Corsair sells, the mammoth h170i mounted to the front side so the coolest possible configuration. Yet, my i9-12900KS spikes at 100C with CineBenchR23.2 .. how come? I'm not using the stock h170i thermal compound but the Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Extreme instead with full spread application procedure so can't get any better than that.

Hi everyone, My almost new AX1600i tripped once ... I had to switch the PSU off and on for it to boot again. What could the reason be? right after that, it booted fine and I ran CineBenchR23.2 for 10 minutes no problems. Temps spiked at 100C once (I have the Corsair h170i cooler mounted in the front for intake). I checked the default limits in iCUE and the AX1600i is configured to hard shutdown at 70C by default so changed it to run all fans at 100% instead but the temp could not be the reason ... or maybe 🙂 I have the PSU power cable connected to a surge protector and connecting a bunch of normal stuff like 3 monitors, sound bar, adjustable PC desk, etc. Could it also be that it needs to be connected directly to the power outlet and not via a surge protector?
