Thanks for the tip!
I don’t think much of tools that hide features or are over simplified to suit the masses. It isn’t even a finished product, as I was amazed what huge chunks they are still adding.
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

Oh, the other temperatures are fine on standard settings. It is the gpu memory junction temp that runs extremely hot under full load. If you are ok with that then there are few problems. Windows 11 would be one, lol. My concern is keeping my hardware working for at least 5 years, and not run with a loud fan.
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.

No, I just learned that fans are handled through their water cooling system.
The i300 comes with just the one (2TB) nvme. If the only other option you have is SATA-speed (or 10Gb/s USB 3) I consider that slow. Thunderbolt 4 storage does not exist yet. Existing Thunderbolt 3 devices will very probably only works at 10Gb/s speed.
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.

My i300 arrived almost 2 weeks ago. Just today discovered this forum. Nice seeing other owners and their experience with this compact (but expensive) pc!
Initially I was interested in possibly adding an nvme m.2 ssd, as I consider SATA-speed much too slow. Then I discovered you could put a raid in with 4 SATA ssd’s, which is reasonably quick. Currently using an 8TB 870 Samsung QVO. These are slim! Only using 2 Watts. But too expensive for 4x raid imo. Adding an nvme ssd is likely not covered by Corsair’s waranty.
Memory couldn’t easily be overclocked, as 1.25V at 5200 38-38-38-? (default setting in bios) failed even when loading a game to benchmark. Had no easily available USB to run benchmarks from to avoid possible damage to Windows settings etc. This is my first pc in about a decade.
My initial semi positive feelings (not happy at all with Windows 11 so far) made way for concern when I noticed the sky-high gpu “temp #2” (memory junction temperature) values I was getting. 104-106 degrees with the gpu running all out. Admittedly, it was doing Dying Light 2 at 4K, full settings. Or God of War at 4K, full settings and no V-sync, until I ran it at a fixed 60Hz.
I was appalled at having no influence on the rpm of the gpu fans, which started cooling very late (above 90 degrees), and only lacklusterly so. At 104-106 degrees the rpm was around 2200 for “fan #2” (top-most?), the other was about 100 rpm behind.
My iCUE came with only showing sensor values. Had to do a clean install to see my pc as a device in “Home” and get to control the main case fan on top. That dropped gpu memory junction temperatures to 100 degrees. This is precisely the temperature I got when I put a big external fan to blow clean air into the gpu side. Varying the power of this external fan only controlled the fan speeds on top of the gpu memory, not its temperature. I mentioned all this to Corsair support.
Today I measured temperatures inside through the radiator using an S62 FLIR phone. Temperatures at the top-most gpu fan at full load were around 58 degrees, the gpu through the radiator measured slightly above the internally “official” temperature. I guess the low gpu memory temperatures mean that the problem is not so much with them but with heat not dissipating quickly enough around those junctions. Maybe it is the single case fan that is behind this but possibly proper thermal padding (behind and in front) could help lots, voiding your warranty.
Today and tomorrow I’m going to decide if I keep the i300, as it does mostly what I want, apart from the gpu memory junction temps and the frustratingly shallow current state of Windows 11.
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.
-
Arc with what settings? Random colors? Direction? Speed?
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.
-
Hi guys! Just an update on gingfreeac solution of going bios and change the fan header profile to voltage helps! I 2 whole day did not get any reset on the USB connect and the lighting profile is not stuck or broken. I'm refering to the pump header there a 3 pin cable that can connect to cpu pwm header.
Well time to stop monitoring this thread. Bloody corsair software team please look into this and prevent future product from having this kind of embrassing problem.
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.
-
I replaced the fans anyway because I don't like the ML RGBs. Also yes they run faster but also a LOT louder at 100%. And if you run them at a comfortable noise level the cooling is the same as the Pro version even with the slightly larger contact plate (+/- 1 °C)
For me personally the ONLY reason to buy the platinum over the Pro was and still is the 16 zone moving rgb lighting (I love the Arc effect the most) and therefore I am REALLY angry about this feature being broken and I really hope Corsair can find a fast solution. If not then I will ask for a full refund directly from Corsair in a few months. I give them maximum until Eastern. If they didn't fixed their software by then, I will contact my lawyer to discuss further steps.
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?
-
No hum at all on quiet? What RPM is your pump running at?
on quiet pump runs at 24xx on extreme 29xx. yeah at least not audible above LL and ML fans running at 600-700rpm.
-
I too got the h115i platinum from scan.co.uk. The Pump on its quiet settings does have an audible hum and is louder than the EVGA CLC 280 cooler that I had.
I also noticed the pump does not drop any lower than 2400rpm on quiet setting and goes up to 2800rpm on extreme setting. We could do with a 2000rpm or 1600rpm setting for quiet.
Because of the hum I might go for the dark rock pro TR4 edition air coooler, supposed to be decent?
no hum on mine... pretty happy w it so far.
-
No improvement here. Still the loudest part in my pc on desktop idle.
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
-
Funny thing: I contacted Amazon about the replacement standoffs and Amazon decided to issue me a full refund for the HG10 including the expedited overseas shipping costs. I really can't complain about this, especially when I did not ask for it.
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?
-
I now have both the bracket and cooler on order, but won't be able to pick them up for another month. :(
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?
-
Nope. If I go to the corsair store, it gives me the price in USD, which is $59.99, without VAT. With VAT and shipping, it comes up to $82.
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.
-
Can I order those straight from Corsair's website?
it's 59.99 from corsair's website but 39.99 from amazon tho?
-
There are 2 holes on the side of the bracket. Before you take it apart, look through those holes at the die. When I did with mine, I could actually see the thermal paste between the die and pump, showing that the pump wasn't actually touching the die. I have an idea that this was the engineering issue they ran into. It's very hard to apply consistant pressure across the entire die when the pump isn't directly mounted to the card, rather, it's mounted to a bracket mounted to a card. This is why every cooler you find, whether GPU or CPU mounts directly to the board the CPU/GPU is mounted on.
I have a feeling Corsair may end up running into a lot of RMA issues on this one :sigh!:
makes me reallyyyyy feel like cancelling my amazon order :(
Would you recommend the Corsair One i300?

great thank you!
