  1. the old HXi are type 3 but really, only the motherboard 24 pin differs from type 4. you can get type 4 cables for PCIE and sata since they are probably easier to source (notice even type 4 psus use "type3" pata/sata)
  2. le probleme est tres probablement le fait d'utiliser 4 sticks. en DDR5, c'est juste intenable avec xmp. Deja en DDR4 c'etait tres difficile d'atteindre des vitesses décentes a 4 barettes. Il faudrait plutot utiliser 2x32gb au lieu de 4x16. 6000 CL30 est très facile dans ce cas là
  3. perhaps it's your case that's a bit too restrictive. a 3070 ti isn't particularely hard to cool, neither is the 5900x. If i were you, i'd wait to see how your current parts fare in the new case first.
  4. It's been asked a lot. But regardless, Corsair never comments on future products, so you will know when they come out, if they ever do.
  5. I only used a RM750X briefly on a build i made for a family member, and the fan never spun once, only doing the spin test at startup as you saw. My HX1200i never spins either in game despite pulling 6-700W. They pretty much all do that. As long as they are cool enough they won't start their fan. "cool enough" being often in the 55-65°C region which is uncomfortably warm to the touch. Very hot to the touch isn't a good indicator, since the switching chips inside can happily run over 100 - 110°C all day if they had to.
  6. it's normal. the fan control is a bit more involved than just load % and you have a rig that doesn't pull a ton of power so the PSU can run passively without problems. A temperature like ~60°C will feel very hot to the touch but it's relatively cool for the PSU. So if you pull even 3 or 400W but the PSU is not hot enough to be needing active cooling, the fan will stay off.
  7. there's an option in the bios to chose the boost behavior while the system is in the bios. by default its the max boost clocks.. change it to "max non-turbo clocks" if i remember well and it'll stop running so hot when you're in the bios
  8. well, Arrowlake PL2 has been leaked to be 177W (vs 253W currently on the same core config on 13900k and 14900k), so it's likely going down even if it's not official yet. that would be cool given how GPUs are taking the opposite route
  9. having a look at the ATX spec, both PSUs are good. the old one holds the voltage quite a lot but it's not necesary. They have to hold the 5VSB after power off for at least 17ms at full load , which is very short. And as always, do use that power switch as little as possible. Those PSUs are made to be left powered at all times.
  10. it's normal it has 2 wires. Technically it has 4, but the ground and +12V are on the other power cable. the one going to the commander has the control wires : speed reading and PWM control. So technically you need to connect that connector to the commander core XT, then set a fan curve on that port (controlled by water temperature sensor usually) to set the speeds you want, as you would do with fans.
  11. yea, it was most likely algae or some corrosion residues. Pure distilled water is corrosive, and does not protect agaisnt growth at all. it's basiucally only good as a base for a coolant mix, or for flushing the loop during maintenance. you absolutely need anticorrosive and some kind of biocide or you'll have to deal with these issues every few months.
  12. You got confused , with reason, by the USB naming scheme. What was USB 3.0 and 3.1 is now USB 3.2 gen1, and 3.2 gen 2. So, the case's 3.1 type C (old name) connects to the motherboad 3.2 Gen 2x2 of the motherboard, and the case's USB 3.0 (old name) connects to the USB 3.2 Gen 1 header. Corsair just didn't update the USB nomenclature of the case. Thank USB-IF for making naming convention easy to follow 🙂
  13. and try not to use alcohol in the loop, it doesn't go well with any kind of acrylic ("dries" it and cracks it in extreme cases). What coolant were you using ?
  14. Since the top of the PSU shroud is vented, the best position is fan up. that allows the heat to naturally rise away from the PCB instead of making it linger in a warm air bubble, and to have the case airflow keep the PSU working passively by having some air drawn through it. Fan down is always warmer and usually leads to the PSU fan kicking in more often.
  15. you'll just have two ports not working on the front panel., but the other ones will work just fine. you can get for cheap some PCI express USB cards that will give you an additional internal header, so you don't have to mess with splitters, stuff like that : they are all over Amazon and cheap (and maybe one of the best use for those PCIE x1 slots)
