I put the lower fans upside down and fixed this for the final picture.

This is my 2500X Corsair build in white. The GPU isn't there right now as I'm still trying to source one. This uses a project zero motherboard. iCue Link accessories are present to cut down on cabling and improve cable management.

You need to make sure you have split the devices so that not more than seven devices at a time are in use. The hub has two connect points. One on the right and one on the left. Split the devices for both connections.

Here is a final mod of this build. The cable guard has been removed so now you can see the three rear fans.

3 QX120 fans in the front, 3 QX120 fans in the back, 3 QX120 fans at the top (AIO), 1 QX120 fan in the back. RGB fan lighting set for Time Warp in a counter-clockwise effect. This update adds additional fans to the back. iCue-Link build in a Corsair 5000X case. Corsair Teak wooden panels in the front and the top. I just noticed that I forgot to tie-wrap the M.2 heatsink cable in the picture after I cleaned the PC. I'll do that tomorrow.

Here is the results of me working to streamline and tidy up the cable management

This weekend I dedicated a lot of my time to making an iCue-Link build. In the first picture, you'll see the wiring mess prior to this upgrade. The second picture shows improvement. In the third picture you'll see I added two iCue-Link fans to the rear. The H150i iCue-Link AIO has also been installed. Now it is mostly finished. When making the build I had some troubles. Installing the AIO was a bit difficult because the motherboard CPU cables at the top were in the way. I had the use my fingers to move the cables as far as possible and then insert the AIO and screw it down. I am using two iCue-Link hubs and each hub needs a USB 2.0 internal port. Each hub needs a PSU PCI-E 6-pin cable (GPU cable). Luckily I had purchased in the past a Corsair Internal 4 port USB 2.0 hub which gave me the extra USB 2.0 ports I needed. I am using a Corsair shift RM1200X which makes cable connections easier. It was simple to add another PCI-E cable (GPU) to the PSU and that splits into two 6+2 pin GPU connectors. One connector for each hub. I made a slight miscalculation about the cable lengths needed and had to swap some cables around. My advice would be to lay everything you need to use in an iCue-Link build on the floor as a mockup and check to see if you have enough cables and enough length for each cable. In the 2nd picture this was taken before I cable-tied everything to make things look tidy. Don't forget to have cable-ties of various sizes available. I forgot mine and had to go to the store nearby to get some. I hope you have enjoyed this journey. Please ask any questions and I'll do my best to answer them. I still need at least one more fan for the rear. I hope that will come in soon. If you want to reduce your cable clutter, and make connections easier, the Corsair iCue-Link system is the absolute best way to achieve this.

Corsair 5000X PC case displaying both Sapele and Teak wooden PC case panels. This is how the PC case looks with the normal glass panels versus the look of the wooden PC case panels. The wooden PC case panels breathe new life into the 5000 series case. Which wooden color do you prefer? Picture 2 is Sapele and Picture 3 is the Teak. There is also a bamboo color if you prefer, but not shown here.

Replacement motherboard received and all is well.

More than likely these will be available during the latter part of the 3rd fiscal quarter or 4th fiscal quarter.

The MP700 M.2 from Corsair is a gen 5 SSD. In order to run this M.2 SSD safely it is vitally important to keep it as cool as possible. I decided to use a heatsink with a mini-fan. One of the problems with M.2 heatsinks with mini-fans is trying to find one that has a quiet fan. I found one that I liked. With the M.2 in the heatsink and the fan turned off in the BIOs the operating temp at idle was about 69C on average. With the fan turned on the idle temp dropped to 59C. Under FULL load the temps never exceeded 75C. The ambient temp in the room is 24C. I did not perform any testing of the M.2 WITHOUT fan cooling on the heatsink. It is my personal judgment that you use a heatsink with mini fan to keep the M.2 MP 700 as cool as possible. I would like to point out that ideally your M.2 SSD will not be under 100 percent load all the time, so the temps in real life scenarios will not be as high as I have documented.

Had to return the motherboard to ASRock
