Quietus

Thank you for your reply. I find it to be strange that the trays are hard to get. I wish I would have known more about the situation before buying the H150i, as I would have chosen the 420mm. I haven't seen any indication that the 1000D will be going on sale as of yet, and thus I may consider a different case altogether.

Greetings, I built my new system in my Obsidian 500d RGB case and with all of the fan wires, SATA cables, and PSU cables, cable management leaves little to be desired. My old parts are going to my son and girlfriend, and she loves the 500d RGB. I am looking at the 1000D, as there is a lot of space and I can build a mini-ITX as a secondary PC/media server, and as I am not doing a custom loop, I and using the space for other gadgets/customization. Plus, I love the look of it and it will fit in in my office set up. My question is this: Since I already purchased the H150i, what is the best way to install it? I know I can buy a separate tray for the top, and I read that installing an AIO in this manner may be for the best. I have three LL120 fans on the other side of the radiator for push/pull (and it works great.) The other option is to give the H150i to my son/GF and get something else, though options are limited if I want the 1000D and to keep everything Corsair/Asus. Quietus

Ah, then I have no idea where I got these strips, as it was back in 2018. They read 12v on them. I don;t know what happened, but rebooting today had the settings where they are supposed to be in ICUE.

I am having a similar issue, though the flashing is happening with Corsair LED strips which are connected to the 12v aRGB header on my Dark Hero. I mention it in this thread, along with other issues with the latest iCUE (I have to load both iCUE and select "hardware lighting" to get my effects back after power on/wake up/reboot, and now it is happening with my Asus products and I have to load up Armoury Crate to get my settings back.)

I just joined this forum to report this same issue. I built a new PC: Asus Crosshair VIII Dark Hero, Ryzen 5900x, Asus 6900 XT Strix, 32GB TridentZ 3600Mhz RAM, Sound Blaster AE-9, Seagate Firecuda 530, and a Corsair H150i Elite Capellix to which I added three LL120 fans from my previous build added to the radiator for a push/pull configuration, all inside an Obsidian 500D SE RGB from my previous build. I am also using two Corsair branded RGB strips. They were on the other side of the case and I had forgotten about them. I moved them to the top and front of the inside of the case by the mobo and radiator, and connected them to the 12v aRGB header. So other than the RAM, all RGB is Asus or Corsair. All fans are connected to the Commander Core. The previous build had two corsair RGB nodes and a Commander pro, but I removed them for this build. I am using the latest iCUE, and the latest Armoury Crate. All of my Asus RGB components start up with the RGB settings set in Armoury Crate. However, the Corsair fans and the strips do not load with settings. The strips are through Crate, but are doing the same thing as the fans. I have to do what OP does to get my iCUE profile loaded. I also have to run Armoury Crate to get the Corsair led strips to sync up with the Asus Aura settings. My previous build was working fine, with my iCUE profile loading up when I booted into Windows. So it seems to be an issue with the latest version of ICUE and Corsair RGB components. It is annoying to have to boot up both programs to get the Corsair components to load the chosen RGB settings.
