  1. Hi everyone, I've turned on my first ever build and it seems to be working and sending me into the BIOS correctly :D :D :D :D. However I have a query before proceeding. I have a Corsair H150i RGB Pro XT installed as a side intake on my Lian Li 011D XL. As instructed by the manual it's connected to the CPU_FAN header and I'd like to keep it this way as according to DevBiker's Cooling post this will allow for a warning to occur if the pump does end up failing. My motherboard is Maximus XI Hero and on BIOS 1401 I understand that the Q-fan control must be disabled or should be set to constant 100% speed so that the pump operates correctly (or is this irrelevant with the Pro series??) My Q is, is it fine to change these fan settings before installing Windows? Sorry if this is a silly Q, just wanna make sure as I'm complete beginner with this. Thanks for any help!
  2. Thank you both, appreciate the reassurance, it's up and running, seems fine! Thanks for the advice
  3. I'm an idiot lol ...thanks for pointing that out, brain is fried from all the information in this first build of mine!!
  4. For my setup I think the side intake would provide best thermals: Intake: Side H150i Pro 360mm AIO Bottom 3 x 120 mm fans Exhaust: Rear 1 x 120mm fan Bottom 3 x 120mm fan I know there's been talk of it being "bad" to do tubes up but it's not realistically gonna damage my pump unless the pump is at the highest point in the loop!
  5. Thanks for this info - I've ended up just screwing the pump on the correct way. The common opinion amongst most people I asked was that needing to twist it into place is quite normal and the screws will hold it!
  6. Hi Corsair Forums So I have a Corsair HX750 PSU and I noticed that the ATX 24 pin is solid on one end and split (20+4) on the other. I understand that typically, the split end of the cable goes into the motherboard, to allow for boards with 20pin sockets. However, with the HX750 it seems the other way round. The socket on the PSU looks like it's set up to take the 20+4 pin split. Why would this be and in what scenario would I need to only use one of the (20+4) split at the PSU end? See 3 pics here showing how I've connected the cable to both the motherboard and PSU as well as the empty ports on the PSU for reference. Many thanks for any expertise you're able to impart :) P.S I'm using a Maximus XI Hero motherboard.
  7. Hi hoping someone could give me some advice, Whilst screwing my radiator onto the case, I’ve accidentally stabbed one of the tiny fins, and in doing so it looks kinda bent. Is this still usable and is there a chance that I’ve pierced through any parts containing liquid? I’ve attached a pics for a closer look! Thank you!
  8. Hi all, Have edited this request to be more to the point: I'm trying to install my H150i RGB PRO XT pump on to my CPU but am finding it difficult to position it with the Corsair logo facing the correct direction. I saw some posts saying it doesn't matter which way the logo goes but I called Corsair and they said you must install with the logo facing up. As can be seen from the attached photos, the pump does just about fit with the logo the right way up but I'm holding it with some force here. When I release the pressure, the pump head naturally springs 90 degrees clockwise so that the top of the logo faces to the right. I think the side intake position is causing the issue. Is this normal and is it fine to still screw the pump onto the CPU with logo facing up and let the screws hold the tension? Do my tubes look fine or are the bends too sharp? Thank you for any help
  9. Ah I see, I mistakenly thought changing the speed with XMP counted as an overclock which would be affected by B-die/C-die. I'm assuming the die also doesn't make a difference to if I were to only overclock the 9900k a little? Thanks again for the informative answers, they're extremely helpful and sending me down interesting (and necessary) rabbit holes for my build!
  10. Thanks for this info! The serials make complete sense now. There doesn't seem to be much documentation on C-die online apart from it being bad to overclock with. Is it worth trying to overclock with this or to just get B-die ram at this stage? Also if I'm not overclocking for now, would C-die perform badly compared to its B-die part?
  11. Hi people I'm wondering if anyone knows the difference in functionality between this Memory Kit 01 and this Memory Kit 02 ? They both have exact same specs and only one character difference in the serials. (Check screenshot) Listed on QVL: CMK64GX4M4B3000C15 Not listed on QVL: CMK64GX4M4C3000C15 I also know that the first kit is V4.31 and the second kit is V4.32 The reason I'm asking what the actual functional difference is, is because V4.32 (which I have purchased) is NOT listed on the Qualified Vendors List (QVL) of compatible RAM with the ASUS MAXIMUS XI HERO (WI-FI) motherboard. But V4.31 is. Could there be a reason why V4.32 is not listed? My feeling is that it should be fine but wanted to get a second opinion from you Pro builders? Especially seeing as everyone's advice to me since I bought the RAM has been to make sure I pick a model from the motherboard QVL. What's the worse that could happen if I build my PC from scratch and put an incompatible memory kit in? very thankful for any help
