    There's a USB connector going from the CPU Pump to your internal USB 2.0 Header on your motherboard.  This essentially is how your i164 interacts with iCUE.

    There's a chance that that connector may not be seated properly or may need to be reseated.  It should be in this spot in the picture:

    hello.

     

    thank you for the information. i tried reseating this connector 2 Times, even reseated the one on the CPU pump and  still  doesnt show up in icue, any other solutions?

  2. Question: How often does the new fan hit 2000 RPM? The stock fan on mine is only really noticeably loud when it hits 1450-1500 RPM when under full load - like a graphics heavy game. In those situations, does the new fan ramp up all the way to 2000 or does it level off lower? In other words, say you're playing a graphics heavy game - does the new fan shoot straight to 2000 or does it level off lower? I'm more concerned about noise than cooling, especially if it's only a couple of degrees. Thanks.

     

    to be fair i use custom can curve(40-50%) when not doing much, than i switch to extreme profile(max fan) when i start playing games.i dont like how default turns on quite late because water temp goes up slower than acual cpu temp. ill test today playing on default and ill report back the fan speed/noise, the fan on max is of course pretty loud, but since i only use it for gaming and i use top tier headphones i dont hear it at all, for the temps, it does lower them by quite a bit, i cant really do any concrete testings but id say 6-10degress less.

  3. Just an update, went to pick up another noctua (same one), it works now..

    i realitzed i needed to reinstall corsair icue for the new fans to work properly, the firest noctua i ordered and later returned was fine.. i cam to this conclusion when my stock fan started acting the same 0 or 100%, after all the bios resets and stuff ,reinstalling icue fixed it. so yeah all pwm work.. just need to reinstall icue. :D

  4. Mine works fine with variable RPM.

    It's the NF-A14 IndustrialPPC-2000 PWM.

    I suspect you don't have the same one. There is another model without PWM (NF-A14 IndustrialPPC-2000), with 3-pin FAN connector. That one will only work at full speed 2000RPM or not at all, as you describe.

     

    im pretty sure i had the 4 pin pwm, itz had 4 pins and the box said its the pwm model.. i send back and they said pwm works fine.. i think i needed to reinstall icue.. to late now.

  5. I installed this one in my C1 i160, Corsair ML140 Pro LED, Red, 140mm Premium Magnetic Levitation Cooling Fan CO-9050047-WW.

    Works fine 400 - 2000 RPM PWM control, and like the red LEDs.

    Little more CFM than the stock fan, and quiet for the CFM.

     

    thank you, i just ordered this fan but without the led(didnt have any here in my country) , does the temps go down? jayz2cent changed fans stock to this lm140pro and said 5-7 degress drop, would u say thats true? (on max ofc)

  6. I tried the 2000 RPM Noctua fan and got the same results you reported. I didn't spend too much time with the fan curve, but I wasn't able get anything but 0% or 100%.

     

    And, FYI, I reinstalled the stock Corsair fan and was really impressed (and surprised) at the result. I think maybe I experienced some placebo effect with the Noctua fan - I "upgraded" to it, so it must be better, right? Well, I was wrong. The Corsair fan is quieter and cools every bit as well -- maybe even a bit better. So, my apologies to Corsair for doubting them. Unless you have a strong reason to change the fan, my advice would be to leave it alone.

     

    Also, after a year of use, there was very little dust inside the machine. Given the in-the-sides-and-out-the top single fan design, I expected a bit of a dust magnet, but it was very clean. Hardly anything to remove. The biggest concentration was a bit of dust at the outtake fan.

     

    The more I use this machine, the more I'm impressed with the design. Most of us here have built PCs in the past and we have a tendency to want to tweak things. But, honestly, there's very little Corsair could have done better with this design.

     

    that is interesting, i already returned the one i had, guess i wont be ordering a new one after all, wair how jay2cent got a 2000rpm one working, but it was corsair LM. i just wanted something to cool abit better, 2000rpm corsair LM will still be better than 1500rpm. you cant really overclock this macine on stock motherboard so not like i need some serious cooling, i play warzone maxed, gpu overclocked and cpu at bios OC settings (4.8) and i get 60-65c while gaming which is totally awesome, im afraid for summer that wont be enough. thats why i want to go for 2000rpm , as i dont have an ac in mny room and i can get toasty

  7. Actually, I was wrong. I have a Noctua 2000 RPM model in a box (I thought it was in my PC). Turns out I have a Noctua NF-A14-PWM chromax.black.swap 1500 RPM model in my PC. This: https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-NF-A14-PWM-chromax-Black-swap-Premium/dp/B07655KF5C

     

    So it's basically the same speed as the stock Corsair fan, which itself is a very good fan. I just prefer the noise profile of the Noctua fan; it's not quieter per se, just a bit lower pitch at full speed, which plays better with my ears.

     

    Bottom line: I went with the same RPM fan, just a different brand for noise pitch level. Performance is very similar to the stock fan. I decided not to go with a higher speed fan because I wanted keep the noise level to a minimum. Truth be told, the Noctua and Corsair fans are equally good in this system. I'm thinking of putting the Corsair back in, though, just to to see if there's really the difference I thought there was.

     

    Sorry for the false alarm.

     

    but the 2000 rpm one still worked for you with fan curve oit of the box?

  8. I'm using the exact same fan on my i160 and it works fine. Just plugged it in and it worked with the stock fan curve. I didn't try to tweak anything.

     

    FYI - I don't think it cools any better than the Corsair fan that came with my unit. I do prefer its pitch at high speed -- both fans are equally quiet, but the Noctua's pitch is a bit lower and easier on my particular ears than the Corsair fan. But they both cool the same and are equally quiet.

     

    do you maybe still have the fan box? could you snap a pic of the back side with the informationa, maybe i bought a wrong one..

  9. I also replaced the stock MSI motherboard with the ASRock Z390 Phantom gaming mini-ITX/ac, and it is indeed almost a simple swap.

    Be aware that the power switch cable is too short by a couple inches as the system connector is much lower on the ASRock motherboard compared to the MSI, so

     

    Also replaced the exhaust fan with a Noctua industrial (black) 2K RPM, no issue at all; almost same speed except under extreme loads, and thermals about a couple degres C lower compared to stock corsair under same load conditions.

     

    Quite happy.

     

     

    i have the same fan. replaced it and it only work on 0 or 2000rpm. how did you manage to make it work at differant rpms?

  10. i just replaced stock fan with noctua nf-a14 ippc-2000 pwm , but it only work 0 or 100% , on default fan curve it doesnt work at all, or maybe it turns on ever 10mins when temps already reach 60degrees on idle, on extreme it work fine at 2k rpm, but i would like to use it on stock fancurve, anyone has any ideas why its not working?
  11. So i bought this headset used, but the guy said he barly used them in 2 months since he bought them. anyways today is the first day i tried them, they were 100% charged but didnt last me more than 3-4 hours of use.. i was mostly watching yt and tv shows, loudness at 50-70% , leds were turned completly off and in like 3-4 hours the bettery was red.. whats wrong????!?!

     

    EDIT: it also goes from red to green when charging in like 10-15minutes is that normal? i use a 2A 5v phone charger. also can i overcharg/damage the battery if i keep charging when alreay green?
