  1. 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.

     

    Is that the one you got?

  2. I did not had the Blue screen but had a similar experience trying to upgrade to the lastest Window 10 update (20h)

    It was stuck at reboot at the boot options menu. I was always able to go back to windows as after a few reboot, it was uninstalling the update.

     

    At the end I had to do a clean windows 10 installation (keeping the personal files)

     

    Something is indeed up with some Corsair software not compatible with the latest windows 10 update that came out in October. Come on Corsair you are better than that...

  3. The entire lineup is incredible. I do have a i160 and I am amazed how quiet it is.

    If you don't do gaming with intensive graphics / CPU operations you will almost never hear it.

     

    It also depends where you are located. For me I'm in the living room where there is already a little bit of noise on a day to day basis. I can probably start to hear the fan when it's at 1300rpm or so.

     

    All in all, I think this is one of the best options on the market if you are looking for a quiet and powerfull PC.

  4. I'm pretty excited, thanks all for the feedback. I order the below and will compare both this weekend.

     

    Corsair ML140 Pro LED, Red, 140mm Premium Magnetic Levitation Cooling Fan (CO-9050047-WW)

    Noctua NF-A14 iPPC-2000 PWM, Heavy Duty Cooling Fan, 4-Pin, 2000 RPM (140mm, Black)

     

    Since I upgraded my Nvme to a 970 Plus, my temps are going up. When playing I can have my Nvme going up to 80c ! even with the fan at full speed.

  5. Here's your answer, after running for a bit that is normal. I have the same Samsung NVME and normally run the main fan max setting to keep it below 65c. C1 currently isn't designed to keep an NVME cool in that tight space. All you can do is run the main fan faster and louder. Those Samsungs perform great but they get hot hot.

     

    I see, thank you for the answer. It's probably a stupid question but it's the first time I have a Corsair gear and use iCue. How do you set the fan speed?

    Mine are doing it automatically for the moment
