  1. Ah I understand. Guess I'll purchase the ML140 pro's then. Thank you for the help friend!
  2. Hello, I am looking at buying the AF140 red led fans (2018 model and up) to replace my generic case fans. Here are the ones I am looking to buy. https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Fans/AF-LED-Low-Noise-Cooling-Fan/p/CO-9050086-WW In the tech specs it states these are not PWM controllable fans. However, can I still adjust their speed through my Aorus motherboard's BIOS? Or will they be fixed to 100% the whole time? Thank you!
  3. Hello, I am looking to purchase a Carbide 275R (non-airflow). ' I currently have 2 Corsair ML140 Pro Red Led fans (140mm) and wanted to know if these can be mounted at the front as intake. Thank you!
  4. I'm saying man! I was never impressed by the performance of my H115i even when brand new especially at those stupid loud noise levels. How this D15 runs almost dead silent yet drops temperatures by like 30 degrees is beyond me. I ran Aida64 for over an hour and never saw over 60C. My h115i hit 90C within 45 seconds lmao
  5. This thread has become old I understand. I just wanted to let you know that I swapped out my H115i for the NH-D15 chromax.black and here are my results. H115i Extreme profile: 92 degrees in Cinebench R15 after first run D15 Stock Bios profile: 56 degrees MAX after 10 consecutive runs. Definitely was something wrong with my H11t5i unfortunately.
  6. First of all, that's a pretty dope custom loop you got. I'll try out intel XTU and CPU-Z stress tests tomorrow, however at this point I've just been so frustrated with AIO's and their minimal cooling differences between high end air coolers. I've pretty much made up my mind to go D15. It's not that I refuse to figure out what exactly the problem is with the H115i or a software setting, but I just want the added reliability, and lack of software you get with an air cooler. I dont want to worry about liquid temps and failures and all. So even if I do find the kink here, I'll still be going the air cooling route. However, I will let you know the results of the other stress tests as soon I do them.
  7. I have tried with LLC set to Normal (I think this would be level 1 or 2) but others have informed me that I should keep LLC on auto when not overclocking. My negative offset of -0.080 has not crashed or locked up. Under gaming it's fine, running 15 Cinebench R15 runs in a row is fine, Aida64 ran fine for about 10 minutes before liquid temperatures got uncomfortably hot, and normal use is fine. I'm so lost at this point and frustrated. I don't know if it's the cooler, the cpu itself, or some bios settings. I have a very strong feeling it is the cooler because I have a friend with a Hyper 212 Evo on a 8700K at 1.39 volts and THAT doesnt exceed 90C. Whereas this H115i at 1.224 volts SHOOTS to 90 and slowly rises to 92/93 within seconds. Maybe because my previous cpu was a 7600K and didnt develop near the heat of a 9700K, is why I never noticed how much the H115i was struggling. I think the pump is not flowing liquid at 3200RPM and iCue is giving a false reading.
  8. BIOS: CPU is set to Adaptive voltage with a negative offset of -0.080. Vcore never rises more than 1.224. MCE is disabled. LLC is set to Auto. VCCIO is set to 1.05. Xmp profile 1 selected boosting ram to 3000Mhz. Nothing else has been touched. Aida64: Stress CPU, FPU, Cache, System memory are all checked. These were default settings.
  9. Under gaming coolant will rise about 5-7 degrees then stabilise and stay there. I test by playing 1 hour of Forza Horizon 4 and coolant went from 32 to 37 and stayed there. Not even 3 minutes into Aida64 it rises from 32 to 42/43. It does however drop quite quickly. I measured it out and it took around 6 minutes for it to drop from 43 to 35. I've shaken the entire unit like a madman hoping any blockages would go away. Same results. Not cool, this is exactly why a NH-D15 is better. You dont have to worry about all leaks, pump failures, or blockages. Not to mention the similar/better performance, reliability and reduced noise.
  10. Back to the bad news. Turned out my 1.188 was not stable after further testing. I decided to go the adaptive voltage route. Set an offset of -0.090 and under full 100% I have not seen anything more than 1.224V. Yay! Lower voltages than Auto...yeah the temperatures were not that friendly. At 1.212 - 1.224V my 9700K at 4.6Ghz with the H115i Set to EXTREME on both fan and pump sees Cinebench reaching 80-82C and Aida64 hit 93C. Liquid temperatures rise FAST going from 31C to 43/44C almost after 2 minutes of Aida64. How the heck is a H115i not handling 1.212V??
  11. My average temps are indeed way down now that I undervolted to 1.18V. I was playing a Plague Tale Innocence for a good hour or so and temperatures did not go past 54C with all cores running at 4.6 to 4.8. Before I would see them in the low to mid 60's.
  12. Hello again friend, I decided to take your advice and adjust settings in the BIOS. Watching many guides on overclocking/undervolting. You were right. The motherboard was indeed not pushing 1.24 but rather 1.284 and nearing 1.3V for stock settings with 4.6 across all cores. 1.284V is insanely high for stock clocks so I toned it down to 1.18V as that is what got me to be stable. Temperatures are WAY down now. Before seeing an average of 83-85 and 90 sometimes, and now to high 60's and max of 72. Does that 72 spike still seem a little high for stock 4.6 at 1.18?
  13. Yes you may be right. However, HWInfo64, HWMonitor, and CPU-Z are all reporting a max voltage of 1.248 at 100% load. I don't know if there is something I am missing or what. The only reason I stay on auto-voltage is that I normally use my PC on the Balanced performance mode and have it set so that my CPU only runs at a max clock of 2.8ghz. I do not need the 4.6-4.8 turbo simply for using Firefox and Word. Auto voltage then drops the voltage due to that Balanced mode to around 0.652-0.848 volts. Do you think there is a possibility that these softwares are not reporting the right voltage? And if so, is there a way I can set a MAX voltage the motherboard is allowed to supply? Or should I just overclock my CPU to 4.8ghz across all cores?
  14. I think I will get one of the 2 between DRP4 and NH-D15 Black. Not only because they provide similar if not better cooling than 240/280m AIO, but because you get peace of mind of nothing besides a fan failing.
  15. I am highly considering upgrading to a Noctua NH-D15 Chromax Black the newly released ones. Would this give me better temperatures? I am kind of getting annoyed with AIO cooling as the results seem to be in favor of Air coolers both performance and noise wise.
