Well, I received the RMA replacement and it's no better. Just how noisy are these pumps supposed to be?

Thanks, once i get the AIO RMA so can no longer hear the pump ill sort out the fans

Yeah I can most certainly hear it with the case shut. It got to the point that I have my fan speed set to what hides the pump noise 🤣 Thanks ill get an RMA raised

How noisy should the H170i pump be? I have not had a AIO for a few years now but I think mine is excessively loud. The video starts with the pump on Quiet then changes to Ballances and again to Extreme before returning to Quiet https://youtube.com/shorts/AGF_Mos_3Qk?feature=share (Apologies for the dog snoring 🤣)

I have my fans linked to the CPU package temperature but from what I understand, they would be best linked to the coolant temperature instead. What's the maximum coolant temperature I should be aiming for? Can someone share an ideal fan curve for the coolant temp please

I do yes, all fans are iCUE Link fans and also the AIO. In time I'll be changing to a custom loop but will keep all the link fans. The O11D XL has space for 2 thin fans on the back to provide active cooling to the drive bays, I am considering adding a couple of fans there so wouldnt want RGB and also they need to be thin, around 25mm if I recall so a basic fan is all that's needed. I was considering a distro plate when I do the custom loop but had heard they don't perform as well as a standard res/pump. How do you find them?

Sorry for the double post, I just had a look at the Commander XT, if I wanted to use any non-link fans with iCUE would that be the best option? It looks like it would do fans and ARGB all in one

I don't, the only thing i have is the iCUE link controller. Yeah, I noticed they are going for stupid prices. eBay will be the better option as I only need the hub and not the lights etc. Not sure how many LEDs are in the strip as it is part of the O11 Dynamic Evo XL and can't find any info on it. If it's going to be too expensive or a pain ill just unplug the strip. Thanks anyhow.

All of my fans are part of the iCUE link ecosystem and are working well. I was not however able to get my motherboard (ASUS) or GPU (EVGA) RGB to work with iCUE. My case has an ARGB strip that I want to control via iCUE, is there anything I can get that would allow it to work without having the ARGB connected to the motherboard? I was thinking maybe the iCUE Lighting Node PRO RGB Lighting Controller would be what I need but I didn't want to order it only to find out its wont work.
