when push came to shove... they offered a whole brand new system as a replacement! that to me speaks louder than words, they have legitimate issues with providing certain standalone replacement parts; but they clearly demonstrated they stand behind their fully built systems,

Corsair parts are bespoke but still interchangeable among themselves, you could unplug any i160 GPU side rad and swap it with the cpu side rad with no extra parts required beside refiling and bleeding the air out the loop,

the rad space is tight, you'll need brackets to mount to the side of the panel, i doubt you will be able to fit an aftermarket rad there, you need to come out from the sides not the front,

the problem is with their heavily integrated circuits, for example the Rad we switched on the i160 circuits are integrated with the GPU pump, meaning they are daisy chained and hard wired to each other, the miniature engineering in the case makes it very tricky swapping parts or fitting new ones in it, to be fair not many out there despite their willingness too can perform such upgrade with ease let alone allow Corsair to assists in the process,

i think corsair are aware of their faults when it comes to supporting systems, prob why they bought origin pc company as extension of dealing with the issue, maybe in the near future we can buy these custom builds directly from their new origin pc division?

update it anyway,

try updating your bios firmware!

both our Custom ONE units have a 240mm rads on the GPU side from factory! the recent project i posted two pages back is i160, the first (older) Custom ONE build posted in the beginning of this thread is Corsair CS-9000009-NA with 240mm Rad on the GPU side from factory as well,

sound like you generally got your cpu/case temps tamed and under control now, are these temps you reporting with fan at max at all times? must be inaccurate sensor reporting for the drives temp, do you have access to a FLIR cam to confirm reported M.2 temps? the plate on the back of the gpu has enough clearance space and airflow to not heat up the back of the board, there is an inch gap the entire length, the board is not even close even with the second M.2 mounted, in either case 60c is nothing to worry about, its more or less operating temps for M.2 drives they need to run hot!

the single wire still sits in a 3 pin layout plug and can only fit one way with its notch where the arrow point in the image (enlarge it to see clear), at idle my M.2 are around 28c, cpu at 32-34c, i also have 3k rpm noctua fan on top not the stock one and i removed board cooling shrouds,

yes in the bios, first benchmark your cooling solution in the bios and let the system manage itself, you shouldn't need to manually set fan to max seed after that, if your cpu still idle's at high temps afterwards repaste your cpu! where did you plug your fan power too, is it in the right port?

Ben, glad to hear you got your issue sorted out, try changing your system power plan to power saver, the new win10 power schema has it hidden by default, (in command prompt issue this -> powercfg -duplicatescheme a1841308-3541-4fab-bc81-f71556f20b4a than in Power Saver Settings make sure your cpu cooling policy is set to passive not active!) otherwise your system is ramping up during idle for no good reason,

it’s not off the shelf or a simple mod, it’s one of a kind custom built! (similar to the first ONE build i posted on this thread) the old Corsair ONE 240mm (or i160 GPU side) rad fits there like a glove with no physical mods required to the case or existing layout, the locking pins at the top of the rad can be pushed out with a paperclip on either side to release a double O-ring plug for swapping and or refilling the loop,

we also have i160 with Z390-I and few other upgrades Intel Core i9-9900KS LPX 64GB 3200Mhz 2 x Samsung 970 PRO 1TB (Raid0) Samsung 860 PRO 4TB CORSAIR SF750 Series Noctua NF-A14 iPPC-3000 240mm upgraded CPU Radiator

it has taken some time in the end i was able to resolve my part replacement issue, corresponding back and forth with Corsair executives and support agents, i was eventually issued a replacement part, on a personal note i think Corsair are fairly new to full system build and support, they clearly demonstrated in my case though wasn't easy; but they do stand behind their systems, they just need to refine this process for built system replacements,
