Thanks Giga.. Disabled my thunderbolt controller and my Vengeance RAM now shows up in Icue. Also noticed Icue doesn't hang for 30 seconds when I launch it now. Only remaining issue I have with this new Asus x670E build is my Corsair mag lev fans RGB now has a flicker every 30 seconds or so that didnt happen on my AM4 build. Hopefully Corsair and Asus can get these issues figured out in a timely fashion.

Yeah just tried the new Icue release and My DDR5 Vengeance is still not being detected. Sad face...

Same here.... Corsair Vengeance DDR5 is not being detected on AM5 motherboard in Icue...and my Corsair Mag lev fans RGB also developed a flicker in the lighting only when Icue is running. Also noticing Icue takes forever to start up and locks up the PC untell its fully loaded! Icue needs some serious work before its ready for AM5 and Im sure my Asus MB needs a bios update as well. Wonder how many months it will take before its fixed....

Just an update on my adventure with the HG10 N980. I had an inadequate fan on my H55 rad so I grabbed a set of the high pressure Corsair fans and wow... In push pull with the new fans and Corsair link in balanced mode the Valley bench temps are... 26c idle 57c load. And if I crank up the RPM's it cant even break 54c full load. Of course my radiator and fans are inside my case though! :eek: It's been a nice change from 74C at full load with the old fan. With Corsair Link in quite mode it maxed out at about 64c load. I have a mean OC on this EVGA 980 ti SC so all and all I'm pretty happy with this bracket I just hope the next version mounts and support the PCB better.

If there was a working 980 TI yo I'll solve it... Check out my skills while my drill press revolves it! ::pirate:: "When working with any enthusiast GPU it's always a good idea to drill random holes in the card for a better fit." :eek:

Nice work.. we had similar adventures on this one. Every screw on this bad boy has to be perfect or it will warp that's for sure. Luckily Im using my EVGA back plate for strength and I can tighten the screw's and not warp as bad but even with the back plate I can over tighten that screw in the middle/side and warp the board. All together im happy with the giant OC I got while still maintaining a cooler temp and managing to silence the stock fans all at the same time! 3 birds one stone. My only con is that for sure the bracket should have more/better mounting to the card and especially around the GPU area on the next version. I read there were design limitation on the NVidia card though. Maybe next time! Let us know how it goes when you get the new cooler ZoRzEr. Cheers!

Looks like it might work out for you then since you have a stock NVidia fan on hand. I have the H55 with the round cooler and I am getting 72C full load with an OC. EVGA 980 TI SC

That's weird my Corsair blower fan doesn't seem to make that noise I was hearing in the video... Although I have it set not to go over 60%. Have you tried plugging the blower fan into your MB instead of the GPU? Someone was suggesting that. Also did you fix your Temp issue? What was causing it?

Did you hand tighten and then screw in the 4 screws in an X pattern to get maximum contact? Obviously the cooler is not making good contact with the GPU. Sounds like the cooler is cockeyed on the GPU because of the two loose screws... Is this just a matter of tightening all the screws evenly in an x pattern or is there another issue?

If you have a problem and no one else can help, maybe you can hire these guys.. ::pirate:: ----- > [ame] [/ame] Alright guys here are some pics of the custom backplate install on my EVGA 980 TI SC+ with the HG10 like you asked for. http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff26/HeroCrusher/IMG_20160302_080039529.jpg This screw was so close to the GPU that I had to file the head down so the screw head didnt get in the way of the cooler. "Actually I used my dads grinder on the screw head and it only took me a minute or two to get the head flat". If you get some small nuts for your screws the grinding could be avoided all together probably but I was using the larger black standoffs I had on hand so that I didn't have to make that trip to the hardware store. http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff26/HeroCrusher/IMG_20160302_080045722.jpg http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff26/HeroCrusher/IMG_20160302_080052097.jpg http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff26/HeroCrusher/IMG_20160302_080105797.jpg http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff26/HeroCrusher/IMG_20160302_075605683.jpg http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff26/HeroCrusher/IMG_20160302_080905732.jpg These are the two round head screws I had in my hardware collection. The longer screw is the one you want it will give you enough thread to screw into the HG10 bracket and has the correct threading. The black nuts/standoff's were leftover from a Corsair cooler so I made use of them. There is just enough thread on the screws to go into the bracket so be gentle with the threads and don't over tighten the screws just help snug them into the HG10 bracket and its smooth sailing... Let me know if you guys have any questions. :D:

Alright I got the HG10 installed on my 980 TI and I have no problems with the blower fan but my question is how tight should the m3 screws be? The manual says snug and not to over torque... Should the m3 screws be screwed in all the way or just tell they start to get snug?? I have mine to where the screws are snug but I can still see a little thread left on a couple of the screws... Idle temps 32c / load temp 60c. EDIT #1: I took the card and bracket out for closer inspection and what I found was that the screws have to be pretty close to all the way screwed in or the thermal pads wont touch... but in doing so the tighter the screws are the more it bends the PCB! I just tried to tighten the screws to where there was the most minimal bend in the PCB but the pads were still touching. Will report back if I have any problems. EDIT #2 My OCD kicked in and with a few normal hardware screws and nuts I had laying around I was able to custom install the backplate on my EVGA 980 TI SC ACX 2.0+ along with the HG10 bracket. It was a PITA to take apart again but the PCB has a lot more strength now and it is not bending as much, The GPU also seems to be making better contact with the cooler since its straighter now.

Hey guys, I have an HG10 980 coming UPS today and I bought it mainly for stealth or quiet gaming... So do I need to replace the blower fan to silence this thing or is it acceptable compared to the stock fans blasting away?
