great thank you!

try startallback 🙂 thank me later. i'm ocd about my windows and this made it almost indistinguishable for me from w10. the OS on its own is pretty solid, just the UI choices that were annoying

what does the i300 come pre-installed with other than just windows OS? just icue or is there other stuff like antivirus on it? i guess my question is do I need to reinstall windows11

what's wrong with win 11 for you? with this cpu you'd need w11 to properly use the ecores so i guess that's a personal choice going with the 12900k. i use win10 for my main pc, and w11 for my razer laptop (really just to try it out). i've found im' fine with win11 after i've installed "startallback". my biggest issue was with the taskbar and folder layouts, and SAB seamlessly fixes all that, so i no longer have qualms with w11. I was like you, pulling my hair out, before.

i guess in terms of thermal throttling for gpu it'll mostly be determinted by the core temp if you're not overclocking, and there's no fan on the rad that its attached to. those other fans seem to be blowing on the pcb and facilitating airflow rather than functioning as radiator fans for the core. ah right okay. you meant additional storage. I use a 40TB Nas for storage. my main pc's just rocking a single nvme so our situations defer.

see post above

1) does MSI afterburner not work to control fan speed? 2) I thought the i300 already comes with NVME ssd? at least that's what's stated on their product page. I'm looking to get one of these quite soon.

this just happened yesterday. so any color choice that uses light blue is unable to display the color correctly. i.e pink now shows as pure red. i've had the item for months and had to deal with the usb disconnect issue same as everyone else, which eventually got fixed, but this just happened out of the blue. i've upgraded to 3.16.56 anyone else has the same porobelm?

3.15.101 is out!! fingers crossed.

i think he means he won't believe it's fixed until he's able to use arc with all the bells and whistles and not get usb disconnects, which should be the case the begin with.

sorry could you elaborate on what the fix actually is? i'm on a z390 asus board. i searched "gingfreeac" by username and didn't get any returns.

my arc effect seems to be working fine now for a week no probs

my lights flickers as if the signal is being disrupted somehow from time to time when i'm using arc. i think it's the same issue u've described. how are you noticing the usb disconnect? windows sounds? i mean how do you know it's your pump disconnecting and reconnecting?

on quiet pump runs at 24xx on extreme 29xx. yeah at least not audible above LL and ML fans running at 600-700rpm.

no hum on mine... pretty happy w it so far.

hey bud i've been following your posts closely re this issue. so what're you gonna do now? just gonna live with it?

any improvements in the noise/hum in the pump in the past few days? i have one right in front of me and am hesitant to go ahead and install it if this is a known problem (easier to make returns where i am if it's not opened)

Why didn't u just buy an aftermarket one? Tbh if the Seahawks or gigabyte water force cards had been out at the time that I bought my cards I would have bot those

I wasn't around to receive mine from Amazon and so it got sent back to them for a refund...wow I mean at this rate pascal is gonna hit before we get this.

lol has eveyrone arleady given up on their hg10 n980?

Are they just not shipping it due to these issues or just no stock?

So I have one of these arriving from Amazon. Should I be rejecting it or accepting it? I've been trying to follow this thread but maybe I missed some information. I know corsair are not selling more of these until a fix is in place, but does that mean I should not take delivery if one is being sent to me now?

why is it so expensive! seriously i ordered from amazon @40 a piece x 2, with 12usd shipping to hong kong, so total of 92usd for 2 of these.

it's 59.99 from corsair's website but 39.99 from amazon tho?

makes me reallyyyyy feel like cancelling my amazon order :(
