Corsair have announced the new i200. Check the sticky thread.
-
It could be then that the PSU fan may be rubbing against something. Check to see if it is rubbing against the grill on the front of the fan; they could be bent. Since it is not recommended to pull apart a PSU, then yeah if you are comfortable with replacing the PSU (and possibly voiding warranty) then that would be the quickest way to fix the issue. Although replacing just the PSU fan can be done and there are guides on how to do it. The risk is when you put it all back together and it ends up with some fault that could cause a short circuit, etc. So replacing the whole PSU is probably best if you are not able to figure out where the fan is rubbing especially because it could be that the fan bearing could be damaged in which case you would need a new fan.

Have a look at iCUE when this sound happens and see if there is a spike in RPM in either the GPU or CPU pumps and fan RPM at the exact moment when the sound happens.
-
I am pretty sure the top fan is a 1500 RPM fan. A way you can check max RPM is by setting the fan to run at max speed in iCUE and look at the monitor. If the reading is between roughly 1350 and 1500 RPM, then it is a 1500 RPM fan.
So the best thing would be to go with a slightly lower RPM fan like 1200 RPM for example if you could find one. Wouldn't recommend to go much lower to keep good temps. As far as brands, Noctua fans are popular quiet fans, Corsair have good fans. Be Quiet! have good fans too.
So it really is a matter of finding a fan with lower RPM than 1500 -or whatever the max RPM is on your system- but not too low. And check that the new fan you get is a PWM fan.

Here we go again!!! I am surprised though that they are using a B550 instead of a X570 motherboard for AMD. The intel variant seems to be using a Z490 still. I wonder if they will update it to a Z590. And also for the AMD variant I hope the riser cable supports PCIe gen 4. We'll see how these ones go but I am excited!!!

Hi everyone!
My Corsair One Pro 9000011 GPU died a few weeks ago ..it was as it says on the graphic card a "GEFORCE GTX 1080 CORSAIR"
For the past two weaks I've contacted customer support via phone and emails and asked for help and had very vague responses from some of them (not all of them).
Who makes the GeForce GTX 1080 Corsair?
Corsair: - nVidia (contacted nvidia sent me back to corsair)
MSI actualy builds them! youl find the S/N coresponds to them
Curently waiting for an email answer to see if MSI will have a go at the card as they ACTUALY HAVE TECHNICAL SUPPORT for 3 YEARS :)
If not I'm thinking of putting a GTX970 but am not sure if I could fith the cooling system on this card, what do you guis think?
For the time being, while you wait for Corsair to respond, I can suggest an option for you but it will require a bit of work if you are willing to do it.
1. You can remove the liquid cooler from the graphics card and use it for your CPU. This is necessary so that the top fan can still respond to coolant temperature changes. Right now the top fan responds to GPU coolant temp changes as it is hard wired to the pump.
In my corsair model, this pump is actually the one used for the CPU because my system came with a normal air cooled GTX 1070. The pump bracket should fit on the motherboard and then you just connect the sensor back onto the motherboard and that way you can still have the top fan working properly. You will need to accommodate the hoses as they are longer and maybe just re-route the power cables and things but it should be possible.
2. Then you can just fit a normal graphics card like your gtx 970 without having to mess with the cooling. It will be easier and cheaper to place the AIO on the CPU than trying to work out how to fit it on another graphics card.
This of course can be temporary while you wait for Corsair to help. By the looks of it on other forums, you may need to keep insisting Corsair until you get a result.

Probably you are using an older version of Corsair One.
For mine, it doesn't use Corsair Link, and there is a category called "Corsair One" in all versions of HWINFO with coolant, fan, and pump stats.
Oh yeah I should've asked what model Corsair One do you have? I'm guessing it normally uses ICUE for monitoring data? That would explain it. And yes I have a 2017 OG version that uses Corsair Link. Guess I'm stuck with that program. Thanks for your reply.
-
This is excellent!!! Great find!
How did you get the coolant temp on HWinfo? What does it appear as? I've been using HWinfo for a little while now but I've never seen coolant temp data on it. I am still using corsair link for coolant temp monitoring; managed to download it from some website but not here. The link in the sticky post for the updated version of corsair link does not work anymore.
-
I actually have an asrock motherboard. Link below.
https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z490M-ITXac/index.asp
I chose this motherboard because it is the only z490 itx that fits the air cooler perfectly without modifying or removing anything. It also has both M.2 slots at the front instead of one at the back like most other motherboards. It is power limited, so little to no cpu overclocking possible but it is enough for a 10600k.
-
Any word about GPU temps?
In my case, temps are good, the gpu sits between 70C and 80C depending on ambient temp and game load. With an undervolt, I can reduce temps by 4-6C. I also have the top case fan ramp up with gpu temp which further reduces temps by 7C. So pretty good all-round.
-
Haha oh geez. Thanks EchoSierra for sharing about removing the panels. That wouldve made things alot easier!
With the asus dual oc 3070, it is a tight fit width wise. I had to shimmy it in and also remove the hdmi/power extensions blocks for the install, then reinstall them. The card isnt in bracket perfectly, but its so tight it doesn't move.
I could make some room if i change out the pcie cables to the psu. But from what i read, its preferred to have two separate cables for each 8pin and not use a single dual 6+2. So right now im using the two cables that are dual 6+2 that came with the sf750 psu (with one of the 6+2 taking up deadspace on each cable. Bah!)
Im aware the Corsair sf family power supply cables are interchangeable, but does it matter if the psu cable was from gold rated sf400 to use on a platinum sf750? Does the cables matter when changing psu rating? Then i could use the 8pin from the original build and/or buy another one
Definitely keep using two cables per connector. That should always be done. As far as I'm aware, the cables are the same. At least in my case I am actually using the OG cable that came with system. The GTX 1070 back in the day only had one 8 pin connector. Once I upgraded to 600W and a 2070S a year ago, I just added one more cable and called it a day. Have not had any problems for the last 3 years going from 1070 to 2070S and now a 3070.

AmateurHour that is a job well done!
I wasn't sure if that Asus 3070 would fit but I'm glad you managed. Yeah we have to wait for riser cables that support pcie 4.0 which I think at the moment it's just one brand. But yeah not much difference with 3.0.
For future reference the case does have 4 screws that hold the bottom which you can remove so it is easier to work on. You can also remove the wall with the logo and the I/O wall. They are clipped in three places you may need a flat head screw driver to just unclip them a little.
Good work though. It's really nice to see more people upgrading the OG Corsair One. It is in my opinion, one of the nicest ITX cases out there.
-
Quite impressive, care sharing the fans models you bought?
I guess it's louder than before but do you really notice it?
Cheers! So the CPU cooler is an Alpenfohn Black Ridge. I swapped the fan with a 90mm Noctua NF-A9x14 HS-PWM. The 120mm fan is a Corsair ML120.
When it's idling, it is actually quieter than with the liquid pump. Especially because the GPU has the 0 rpm mode when idling. I set the bios to turn off the 120mm fan when CPU is below 40C which is where it normally idles. During gaming it does become noisy but that can be adjusted with fan curves. I wanted plenty of air flow and I use a headset mostly so no problem for me.

Hi there,
It may be the case that you need new thermal paste for your GPU. If you are comfortable working on your system, that's a good place to start. 3+ years is enough to make the paste lose its effectiveness. I would also do the same for the CPU even if there is not much difference from when it was brand new.

I have upgraded my motherbard to a z490 now. But I do know if you updated the og motherbard you no longer have the option to change the pcie speed. Corsair disabled it because of stability issues and let it go up to gen 2 only. Anyone who didn't update could still run gen 3 but even then it didn't work for everyone.
If you ever consider upgrading the mobo, I can confirm the liquid pump fits without issues on a z490.

Nicely done!!! That looks proper!
This case is so underestimated. It can actually fit so much/ You just have to be a little creative with it. What riser cable are you using?
Unfortunately corsair link may have to stay as it maintains fan curve with coolant temps. My suggestion would be to use the gpu pump and rad for the cpu. Should give a bit better cooling since the gpu rad is bigger. Then the top fan can still be connected to the pump so it has a curve. Alternatively, you could connect the top fan to the motherboard instead and have your own curve and monitor the cpu. I have the GTX 1070 variant which came with a normal air cooled graphics card and the cpu radiator was the bigger version.
But I no longer have any liquid cooling in my system so I have my own fan curve for cpu cooling and I am not using corsair link.

Hi everyone I have been following some of the threads and I thought I would let everyone know what I have been able to install in the first gen C1 that had the 7700k/1080ti
Asus Rog strix x570i motherboard
Amd 5600x
750watt corsair psu
Evga xc3 ultra rtx 3080
Some rgb strips as well as rgb ring on the top fan which I swapped for a noctua 3000rpm
Once nzxt brings out the new kraken g12 I plan to watercooled the new gpu by refilling the loop with an asetek compatible pump
I was also able to hardwire my Oculus wireless adapter in using an m. 2 pcie adapter and installing the card where the bottom hdd tray would be

Nicely done!!! That is one tasty looking little beast. And thanks for confirming that a 3080 can fit in this system. Looking forward to seeing your custom liquid cooling.

Hi there. Yes that power supply will fit just fine. It is the same size as the original one. You will be able to use the same cables that you have in your system as well. Basically all you are doing is changing the unit only. Cables stay and plug in the same locations. You will have to remove the graphics card but overall it is not a too difficult job.
I have the original corsair one 2017 and changed my psu to the Corsair SF600. Maybe double check first that it's not your graphics card. I would suggest to first disconnect and re-connect the graphics card and try running the software again. It may not be the psu but the gpu. Let us know how you go.
-
Did yours come with power adapter or is that just for the 3080+? What did you do for yours this card is a 2x8pin plug. Also have the same 600W PSU you have, so should be fine yea? I wonder if there's a way to get the AIO on this card?
No power adapter. I think the adapter was for the founders edition cards. Mine has 1x8 pin and 1x6 pin. I've kept the same 600W supply. It is enough. I'm not overclocking and instead I've undervolted both CPU and GPU (for better temperatures and clock speeds). Best thing to do is to use one cable for each pin connector. Try not to use a splitter.
An AIO would be tough to fit given the tight space and you would most likely have to do some serious modifications to the case. It would have to be a slim radiator to start with. Maybe a custom loop?
I do think the case is actually quite optimised for air cooling as it doesn't have any filters on the side so you get better air flow.
-
So just ordered a 3070 MSI Ventus 2x oc and gonna try stuffing that bad boy in mine ;). How's your eagle holding up?
Nice!!! You should have no problems fitting that card. Please post photos when you are done. :cool:
I was going to get that one originally until I realised I could fit the eagle. The eagle is doing really well. The DisplayPort and HDMI junction on the case does get a bit toasty as hot air does get blown onto it, but it still going well with no issues.

That is a Noctua A12x15 PWM in an a100 (3900x / 2080 Super). The bottom of the fan casing is resting on the hard drive tray, and it is flush against the radiator. The fan hub is directly in contact with the highest point of the CPU block. Works wonderfully, easily dropped CPU temps 15-20c. Easy mod, and nets at least another 100Mhz of boost speed due to not being at 95c.
This also gives the added benefit of cooling the memory stuff around the CPU that is normally cooled by a down-firing CPU cooler.
That is pretty neat I have to say! Never thought of trying a slim fan. Nice job.
I posted some pics of what I've done in the linked forum. Post #3.

I wouldn't say that 600W is 'more than enough' when the manufacturer recommends 6-750W. That is a very broad and dangerous statement.
These cards can spike hard and trip over-current protection. Some power supplies are rated for continuous power, others what is on the box is the max during a spike. Either way, no power supply likes being run at full-tilt full-time.
Then there is how the power supply handles over-current protection, which can be different brand to brand. These new cards spike, and they spike hard. You can 'run fine' for a long time, but you can be prone to seemingly random instant shutdowns when that card spikes to 4-450W and your processor is pulling 1-150W.
I do agree with you. But seeing as we are talking about the 3070 which does not draw as much power as the 3080, it still stands to reason that 600 to 650W would be enough. Maybe not for overclocking, in which case I would probably say 750W. I am not sure the 3070 has the issues of power spikes. I could be wrong but in the end if you get 750W instead then more power to you. lol. 600W is more than enough for me because I undervolt both cpu and gpu.
-
I agree also. But I do think that Corsair might be targeting new comers more than previous customers given that their systems have gotten quite expensive since the original ones. At the end of the day they only need to sell these systems once. If us, current owners of Corsair ONEs don't want to buy a new one, that's okay, Someone who doesn't have one and wants to try pc over console, will. What I do think Corsair could look into is the potential for this case to be an option for DIY people. It probably won't be able to accommodate aftermarket AIOs, but there are a number of decent air cooling options for the cpu that it can still work well.
I have a 2017 corsair one. I guess I got lucky because I bought the lowest price variant that came with a full size GTX 1070 blower style card so this made it very easy to upgrade the card. This system is upgradable but it likely means moving away from the stock liquid coolers and going with air cooling. I have done it myself. It is not too difficult, you would just need to be comfortable working with PCs. Everything fits fine without having to make permanent modifications. Here are a couple of pics.

Anyone know what the min PSU spec requirements are for the 3070?
NVIDIA recommends 650W. That would be mainly for a 10900k/5900x cpus. I have a 10600k and I'm running a 600W supply which is more than enough especially if you undervolt both gpu and cpu. You don't have to but it makes a big difference with temps.
This video by Optimum Tech goes through different power supplies for the 3080 which gives you an idea for the 3070.

Corsair Link 4.4.4.9 Link Dead
in CORSAIR Pre-Built Systems Troubleshooting
Posted
Just to clarify:
1. How did you plug the top fan to the motherboard?
2. When you turn the pc on, what RPM does the fan run at?
3. The fan curve of the top fan cannot be adjusted with any software if the fan is connected via the GPU pump. You can only use default or max speed via corsair link. When you open corsair link, does it show fan speed?
