I've gotten to the point where this is annoying enough for ask for help. This has been going on for years. Is it a fan issue or AIO cooler cable issue? Of all Corsair AIO coolers I've purchased over the years (that would be about 60), more than two thirds of them have a frustrating issue. One or both fans will either spin at 100% or not work at all. Jiggling the fan connectors where they connect to the cables from the pump will get them to behave, until I let go of the cable and it will spin at 100% again. It can take up to 20 minutes to get a cable into a position where it will work properly, but if I bump the case it's off to the races again for another 20 minutes of trying to get them to settle. So I replaced fans on a few of them. Makes no difference. The issue is present on 240, 280 and 360 coolers I have. (H100, H110, H115, H150). Is there a way to stop this happening other than changing brands (I Have a Deepcool LS520 I purchased as a test, and it behaves perfectly).

I'd like to see a version of iCue that monitors temp and fans sensors only. Nothing more, nothing less. It would run 1-2 process only, use less than 1% of CPU and completely ignore RGB. I can set up fan curves with the software and other than monitor speeds and temps it would do nothing else. It would support Corsair coolers, power supplies and commander Pro's. Nothing else. Oh, it would be less than 50MB in size. Surely such a "compact" program would be possible? I'm sure you used to have such a program ;)

Sorry, you're saying that double sided RAM is marginally better than single sided? Ok, that's thrown me. Everything I've read online says the opposite. On an ASRock board 1DPC 1R can run at 7200 on 1DPC 2R it drops to 6000. That seems a significant drop to me. I won't buy ASRock boards because of that... well they have other issues too but that is the main one. For MSI, depending on the board, it wil go from 7800 to 6600 or 7200 to 6600 between 1R and 2R The Corsair product pages don't state whether memory is 1R or 2R. Depending on the brand, the difference in price between the 7200 kits and the 6000 kit is less than A$50.00 Finding a 6000 MT/s kit here with CL30 is hard to find. Most of the retailers are selling CL36+ Terrible timings. I'm sure if I look hard enough I'd find something, but as the 7200 kit was on special I thought it was a good deal. I still don't know if it's single sided or double sided though. Even the retailer didn't know. I've yet to find any motherboard from the big 4 that runs faster on 2R than it does on 1R.

Been having log in problems since June 2023, so please forgive me for asking lots of questions, as I'm worried I may not be able to log in again. With motherboards now so picky about DDR5 configurations I would like to know, so that I can get the best out of my DDR5 purchase Often times the DDR5 product specifications leave out details. In particular I'm looking at this product; https://www.corsair.com/ww/en/p/memory/cmk32gx5m2x7200c34/vengeance-32gb-2x16gb-ddr5-dram-7200mhz-c34-memory-kit-black-cmk32gx5m2x7200c34 Is this 1DPC 1R RAM? I assume it's one 1DPC because there are only two sticks, but I can't fin if it's single sided. Does Corsair make any 64GB kits that are 1DPC 1R? If no 64GB kits, how about 48GB? I'm going to be purchasing 2xASUS Z790 ProArt motherboards and a MSI Z790A-Pro motherboard and I'll be looking for memory for all of them. I've had to replace almost all of my 10 coolers. There is a compatibility table around somewhere for LGA1700 but it turned out to be wrong. I purchased the standoffs for LGA 1700 but the PCs kept overheating a crashing and the only way I could stop it was to get a cooler that was natively LGA 1700 Compliant. However, I had to replace the fans on all of them as the stock fans are much lower spec'd compared to the old fans. Eg 1.73 static pressure compared to 3.0 mmH2O. And the air flow on the ML's is about 20%-30% better. However, the ML120/ML140 fans seem to have been superseded by these lower spec fans. And 280mm coolers seem to be getting phased out in favor of 240/360 products. Do the lower specs of the radiator fans really matter? I'm paying a significantly higher price (I'm in AU). About $70 - $100 more per cooler depending on model. So I want to get the best possible cooling, but paying $500 for a cooler, particularly when I hate RGB with a passion, is not affordable. It seems crazy to pay 40%-50% more for a cooler than might not cool as well. oh, btw; I'm using 13600K and 13700K CPUs, and they love to warm my home 🙂 thanks

It was bound to happen one day. Corsairlink no longer works with some of my hardware. Z790 motherboards are the worst, but so are Z690, and RTX 3xxx series GPUs. I've a H110i which is no longer cooling. The coolers I preferred are no longer available (those without RGB - I'm interested only in performance, not bling that adds no performance value whatsoever). So all I need is to set up fan curves and monitor speeds and temps. So no Corsairlink, and with all due respect, I'd rather have teeth pulled with a chainsaw than use iCue. In all my tests it runs as much as 64+ additional processes, flogs my CPU, takes over 3.3GB to install and has dozens of bugs and basic functionality missing. sorry, I've tried to like iCue but it's just not a viable package for some one with simple needs. It tries to be everything for everyone that wants bling. It's not interested in "simple". And I mean that with all respect. So I have two scenarios. PCs with Commander Pros and those without. From reading many posts it seems if I connect to motherboard I will have no pump control. Without CorsairLink iCue is the only alternative. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, as the fans connect to the pump which then connects to the motherboard via USB and is thus controlled by iCue/CorsairLink? So without software I will have no control over fan curves? If CorsairLink doesn't work and iCue is not a practical solution am I totally screwed? BTW: What's the go with the "Multi Brand Login"? It takes 5 minutes to get a login screen and I have to disable browser tracking protection and uBlock Origin?

Apart from the RM1000i mentioned above the only other one I can find is the AX1600i which is A$800. The hx1200 no longer supports link. Mine is almost out of warranty and I don't keep things once they run out. With supply shortages and high prices, if it fails I'm dead for at least a week. Well, I'll guess I look into other brands, but I'm guessing no others have any sort of digital link.

Aww, shucks. I did say "most" 🙂 Actually, I was hoping that there might be a 1200W or better 'i' PSU available. I'm using the HX1200i at present and would rather not go backwards. But that aside, let's say the 'i' versions no longer exist. How does one manage the temps/fans without that link? I can't see anything in iCue that does it. And before someone asks "why would you want to monitor/manage your PSU?", I live in a place with no internal heating/cooling where temps could be 5c one day and 45c the next.

The only PSU on the market locally that supports the USB interface for monitoring and managing PSUs is the AX1600i which as much as $930. So, with most of the models having dropped this support, how does one monitor fans speeds and temps, and set fan curves for the PSUs these days?

True that. I should have said "loud for my fans" which are NF-A14-IPPC-2000RPM-PWM. I found the stock fans to be quite useless, so I replaced with these. SP140L Fan airflow: 113 CFM Fan static pressure: 3.99mm-H2O Noise level: 43dB(A) NF-A14 fans Airflow 182,5 m³/h Acoustical noise 31,5 dB(A) Static pressure 4,18 mm H₂O

That's fine. I couldn't imagine a A$2000 custom loop being any less efficient than a 280mm AIO. One would be pretty angry if it was. The TDP on the 10940X is 165W. We know that can be exceeded under load. But I don't know about 300W. Also, 1200-1300 RPM is very loud.

I was reading a review on a website about the H115 capellix. They say it cools to 8c above ambient. That would be awesome. I can't get it below 14c above ambient. The custom loop I was looking at with EKWB parts claimed 6c above ambient.

Geez, iCue is such a piece of utter garbage! Today it won't detect my cooler or PSU. No amount of reboots or tweaking would fix it. Had to completely uninstall then reinstall it TWICE before it would detect them.

This is what clink looks like now

Sitting on idle not touching the PC at all, with iCue and nothing else running it's sitting on 3% with the occasional dip to 2%. Every now and then it'll drop to 1%. But never lower than that. That's iCue v4. If I install iCue 3 it fluctuates between 3% and 7%. So maybe Corsair did something between versions to improve it, but I wouldn't go so far as to credit them with that. I've disabled everything I can find. Except the HDD/SSD widgets. I turned it off to see if that helped but it didn't. I was considering turning that off because it's just way to much screen space. My server has a total of 12 Drives. Imagine how much screen real estate I'd need for that 🙂 Then I figured, if I am going to turn that off, why not just turn everything off... And if I'm going to that, why bother even installing iCue.. It's 2.2gb and the best I can get is down to 6 processes. It runs 24 by default. With the exception of the HDD/SSD widgets everything you see on the screen is what I want to see... temps and fan speeds. I've already turned off the RAM widget. Agree, the pictures of the devices could/should just be thumbnails. The massive images are insane.

Damn! I've just discovered one of the fan ports on CPro #1 doesn't work. I wondered why I was only seeing 10 fans, and not 11. This just keeps getting better every day :(
