  1. Finally got my new cpu in so here's how it looks. Still need to improve a few cable routings, but I'll get to that. Ryzen 5950x Asus crosshair viii hero 32gb ddr4 3600 cl16 dominator platinum Radeon 6900xt with corsair block
  2. I ran into a small issue with the built in Hydro x profiles. I have 2 commander pros in my system and with previous icue I setup one with all my Hydro x units for led control, which unlocks the fan/pump profiles for use with both of the copros. With icue 4, it only unlocks the profiles if each copro has a Hydro x lighting setup configured on it. So I have to sacrifice one of the rgb fan hubs in order to give it fake Hydro x lighting.
  3. I'm a bit late to this discussion, but I'll throw out my setup in my 011XL. On the top and side opening, I have xr5 360 rads with ML120pro rgb fans as exhaust. On the bottom I have an xr5 360 with ql120's as exhaust. I replaced the front glass panel with a custom panel by performance pc's that has 3 120 fan mounts, and I have ql120's as intake there, along with a ql120 intake on the rear mount as well. I also removed unused pci slot covers and attached a spare ml120 to that opening as intake. I don't have component temps off the top of my head, but even after gaming at 4k for hours my fans max out at 700-800rpm using the default HydroX built in profiles. It's virtually silent. My main components I'm cooling are a ryzen 3900x with xc7 block (waiting for my 5950x to ship), and a Radeon 6900xt with the HydroX block.
  4. Since updating to this version, I've noticed the LED's on my Asus Crosshair VIII motherboard will sometimes freeze on whatever color was cycling through at the moment, and won't resume working until a reboot. I've been using the Asus plugin since the beta started without issue, but the newest update seems to have this occasional glitch.
  5. In my setup I just used one of the LED outputs on the 2nd commander pro that was unused as a hydro x cpu block, gpu block/pump and then it lets you use the hydro x pump/fan profiles on that one.
  6. Yes you will need to turn off the CPU fan warning in your BIOS
  7. Yeah, coolant can run out the outlet while filling. Try tilting the system to fill as much of the tube from the outlet as you can. Sometimes an air bubble can form and prevent the pump from pushing water through it.
  8. The cpu block and pump rgb daisy chain together and can plug into one of the commander pro led connections. They don't need a rgb fan hub. The part about no gaps refers to the led fan hub for rgb. If you skip a slot, the higher numbered ones won't work. The actual fan control on the commander pro doesn't matter if you skip a fan header
  9. Fan error at boot is because you don't have a cpu fan attached so the motherboard doesn't see a fan rpm reading. You can go into the bios and disable the cpu fan warning since you have water cooling now.
  10. The cpu block being backwards isn't optimal for flow, but shouldn't cause the pump to not pump. It may be the air between the gpu block and the pump is causing a pressure problem. You might be able to tilt your case so that the air goes into the pump and the water fills the space, which might allow the pump to start working. I had a similar issue when I had drained my system to change something and did a refill.
  11. I too would like an updated 540 style case. I'd like to keep the basic looks of the 540, with the flat front and black mesh grill, just scaled up. Be able to fit a 480mm radiator in the front, a 360 in the top, and a 240 in the rear all at once with enough clearance for fittings. The bottom could have space for a 360 rad or just intake fans. I'd still like 1 5.25" bay as I keep one BD-XL drive for backing up blurays to a NAS. Even some optimizations for other Corsair products, such as easy mount points for 2 commander pro's to control all the fans/pumps a fully loaded system could have. I've looked at the 1000D, but its just too big for my desk, whereas a scaled up 540 would work well.
  12. You can connect a compression fitting to the pump, with a short length of tube, then another compression fitting going into the ball valve. In my system I used corsairs y splitter fitting screwed into the ball valve, with 2 compression fittings off that as part of the normal loop tubing. If you want to connect the ball valve directly to the pump you would need a male to male fitting, which corsair doesn't currently offer, but bitspower makes one that fits the visual styling of corsairs fittings.
  13. I had this happen installing 3.19. Just go to device manager and uninstall any void or void dongle devices then restart, fixed it for me
  14. You can order 1 fan y splitter to connect 2 fans to 1 port so that the pump can go in #6. For the leds you connect the male plug to a light channel on the commander pro, and the daisy chain plug is for a gpu or cpu block to plug into that.
  15. I just installed my 5700xt waterblock last night and I'm getting that as well. Pretty sure it's coil whine cause I only noticed it at high load on the gpu. I'm going to mess around with it after work to try to stop it, cause it's raters annoying. Performance of the block seems very good though, temperature is definitely lower.
