  1. Try resetting the mouse to see if that helps. https://help.corsair.com/hc/en-us/articles/360025348571-How-to-Reset-your-computer-mouse
  2. Select the Commander Core in iCUE Select Device Settings for the Commander Core XT. For all the fan Ports with QL fans on them Change it from Auto to 4-Pin. QL Fans are PWM controlled fans and should be set to 4-Pin for all 6 QL Fans. Can you post a picture or screenshot of your fan curve and a picture of your case showing the fan orientation please? One or the other may need adjusting for better cooling if things are getting too warm. newfiend~
  3. Best option I can suggest is contact the support department. Create a ticket and ask. A lot of times they can track one down for you. It's an older case now so they may be out of stock but it can't hurt to ask support. https://help.corsair.com/hc/en-us/requests/new Good Luck! newfiend~
  4. Great work as usual Zotty! Adding a link to my Stream Deck for this guide as well. Thanks for all your time and effort you put into these for the community. 😃
  5. I would use a 2 way splitter max per single Commander Pro port. I Wouldn't suggest using a 3 way splitter off a single CoPro port as it may draw too much power and then the port may stop working. I would recommend limiting it to a 2 way splitter max just to be safe. Also DO NOT HOT SWAP connections on a Commander Pro. It has been known to damage them doing so. Make all the necessary connections then power it on. If you need to change anything power off the PC and make any changes and power on again. That should keep the CoPro in a working condition. Enjoy your build. 😃 newfiend~
  6. Since you will be buying QL fans if you get the 3 packs they do come with the Lighting Node Core. If you purchase two of the three packs you will have two of these RGB controllers. They require SATA power and a USB header (1 header port and one SATA power connection per LNC) Connect the LNC that comes with the QL to the two open USB 2.0 Headers on the Commander Pro (Make sure you get the connections centered and all pins connected. It's easy to get them off center). Connect the LNC SATA power connection to your Power Supply. Connect the QL fans RGB connections to the LNC ports starting at port #1 through #6. Connect fan #7's RGB connection to the second LNC port #1. Connect the Commander Pro to SATA power on the PSU, and then the USB connection on the CoPro to your Motherboard USB 2.0 Header. Connect the fans PWM connections to the Commander Pro PWM connections. Determine which fans you want to run at the same speed (I picked my two top case fans as I wanted them to be running at the same RPM) and place a PWM splitter on that PWM connection on the Commander Pro's PWM port. If you use a splitter on one of the CoPro ports you will be able to control all 7 of the fans PWM off the Commander Pro. Keep in mind that the fans connected to the splitter will run at the same RPM you set for that 1 port in iCUE. That should get all your RGB and PWM connections working for your fans. It will also leave two open RGB ports on your Commander Pro in case you want to add more RGB strips etc. inside your case later. Hope this helps. newfiend~
  7. The picture of the 1000D is the Commander Pro in iCUE. It has it's own special firmware that supports the front lighting in a 1000D. To apply a setting to a fan or pump in iCUE v4 you need to select the drop down box under the individual fan/pump and then select what Cooling Preset you want applied to that fan/pump.
  8. Wow.. This looks AMAZING!! Love the new update. Has a nice new modern feel. Well done Corsair!
  9. Thank You =). Yes I have a Asus Optical Drive in the case now (had an old Sony before) I have a Corsair 280mm Rad top mounted with the optical drive installed and everything fits perfectly. I used the Corsair Mounting brackets that came with the pump and mounted them to the back of the radiator. I just turned the pump so the inlet / outlet is facing the glass on the 678c and Yes I was able to install Corsair LED strips along the inside edge of the case for edge lighting.
  10. Odd, I don't agree with your assessment of the 680x. I have one that runs 24/7 have front and bottom as intake, top and rear as exhaust. Fans run about 8-900rpm through an AIO in the front. Have no temp issues what so ever. Only temp issue I had was in the rear chamber and adding a couple fans back there fixed that problem. Custom built PC's require critical problem solving at times. If you were experiencing temperature issues some investigating into why may have been in order.
  11. Wow, that looks great. Nice job man. Love seeing people's custom case mods.
  12. You need to download and install the latest Armory Crate software and then it will show up in iCUE. You should download that from Asus website for your motherboard under driver's to get the latest version.
  13. Correct you are pushing COOL air through a radiator.. isn't that the best idea? Aren't you trying to cool the coolant in the loop? So which is better? blowing cool air through a radiator to cool the fluid or blowing HOT air through the radiator to heat up the coolant? Having fans on a AIO or Hydro X radiator as intake (bringing in cooler outside of the case air) over a radiator will bring down coolant temps in a loop (AIO or Hydro X) by between 1-3c usually depending on the Ambient air temperature. You are comparing old cases where air gets trapped inside a case with newer cases that are vented (have holes) and large fans moving copious amounts of air through them to the ones from the 80's and 90's where they were pretty much a sealed up box. That is no longer the case today. The 680x has plenty of areas for air to escape. Lots of holes and vents. With high static pressure in a case the air is being pushed out all of these holes and vents as well as the 120mm fan in the rear sucking it all out. I have a Hydro X setup in my main PC. Had my top and rear fans to exhaust and front as intake. By flipping my top fans to intake I gained 3c drop in coolant temps and have monitored all my component temps and they also dropped a bit by bringing in cooler air. If you are still worried the 1 120mm fan isn't going to be enough to vent the internal air and you are dead set on a top AIO rad installation flip the bottom fan to exhaust as well as the rear and do intake top and front. I still believe you will get the best results with all fans intake and the one rear as exhaust. I think you would be surprised at the results. As for the filter question the 680x is filtered in 3 locations. Top, Bottom and Front. If you are looking at brackets for GPU sag.. I would wait on that. The GPU mount is designed to hold the GPU pretty level. there are the usual GPU mounting screws that hold it in place as well as a bracket that slides down the applies pressure to the GPU mounting bracket to help keep it more level. I would mount it and see if you like how it looks. I have a EVGA 1080 in mine and it's fairly heavy as well. Doesn't sag.
  14. As far as static pressure goes the QL are 1.55mm -H20 vs 1.61mm -H2O.. not a huge difference really but LL are better yes. Would you notice a difference in AIO temp. IMO it would be minimal and probably not noticable.
