  1. Mine works fine with variable RPM. It's the NF-A14 IndustrialPPC-2000 PWM. I suspect you don't have the same one. There is another model without PWM (NF-A14 IndustrialPPC-2000), with 3-pin FAN connector. That one will only work at full speed 2000RPM or not at all, as you describe.
  2. I think there's something special about the coolant temp sensor in H115 Plat which makes it sensitive also to external/non-coolant related temperature. In your case, LED generated heat in the AIO pump housing makes it higher. In my case, with the custom H115 Plat used for CPU in my Corsair One system, some other source in the cooler (no LED in this custom AIO) makes the coolant temp reads higher than it should be (about 4 to 5C higher). It has to be external source or defective sensor, because my CPU temps are great and yet the coolant temp is always 4-5C higher, at idle after a long time, where it should normally settle to about the same temp than CPU in this convection assisted system. Hence my contention that the coolant sensor in H115 Plat is compromised, maybe not isolated sufficiently, or some calibration issue.
  3. Yep, similar sound on mine too. It has to be from the pump(s). FYI, the fixed CPU fan speed as reported from motherboard does not represent anything real. The pump circuit outputs a fixed constant voltage level through a single return wire to the monitoring pin of the CPU fan header on the motherboard, just so that the BIOS does not freak out if it doesn't detect a connected fan.
  4. I guess it's all about qualitative interpretation of 'quiet'. Though my system is an i140 instead of an i160, for me it is very quiet at idle, but definitely not what I would call silent. I think you're probably hearing the pumps, which produce a very slight hum I can barely hear about 2 feet away, but which are noticeably louder as I get my ear closer. Unless you top exhaust fan has an issue, you should not be able to hear anything unless it's 400+ rpm. Maybe the HDD-like noise you mention is really the SATA HDD. Even without activity, it will make noise as it parks its head. It's definitely a loud sound compared to the rest of the system. Also the GPU board has a small fan over a heatsink which can rattle/shudder somewhat at high speed, as observed on some systems. Not sure if it's your issue, but it's easily identifiable as the noise is very localized to the GPU radiator side. Otherwise your temps and pump speeds look absolutely nominal. Pumps are supposed to be fixed speed ~1850-1900 rpm. The +100C motherboard temp #1-#3 are of no concern, they're not valid sensors. Only #2 is correct one, as shown in MSI command center and/or BIOS For the software, I suppose you mean Corsair iCue rather than Corsair Link. The iXXX Corsair One systems are only supported by iCue.
  5. Thanks BlaiseP. Confirmed HWInfo's setting to disable the Asetek control was causing the random disconnects. Turned that setting off and now haven't had a single disconnect for about a day with both HWInfo and iCue 3.15.101 running and spiral rainbow on.
  6. My i140 system does also the intermittent usb disconnect/reconnect thingie if I set the case lighting to a dynamic effect such as spiral rainbow, like everyone else who has a 115i platinum based cooler in their non-CorsairOne system... No issue with static effects. Latest iCue software (3.5.15 ?) seems to take a good step solving the issue, but not completely for me, as I still get occasional disconnects only if the hardware monitor 'HWinfo' is running. If not running 'HWinfo', not a single disconnect after hours, whereas on older iCue revisions I would still get a few. So... progress, but not full resolution.
  7. I also replaced the stock MSI motherboard with the ASRock Z390 Phantom gaming mini-ITX/ac, and it is indeed almost a simple swap. Be aware that the power switch cable is too short by a couple inches as the system connector is much lower on the ASRock motherboard compared to the MSI, so I had to use a short homemade extender cable. The CPU fan header (for the single wire monitoring cable) is also at a totally different place on motherboard (on top), but there was enough slack in cable to extend it). Also replaced the exhaust fan with a Noctua industrial (black) 2K RPM, no issue at all; almost same speed except under extreme loads, and thermals about a couple degres C lower compared to stock corsair under same load conditions. Quite happy.
  8. Exact same problem affecting the RGB case lighting of my new Corsair One i140 system (it has custom H115i platinum AIOs according to device manager). If I apply a rainbow cycling effect, I get immediately frequent but intermittent USB disconnect/connect sounds, but as soon as I set to a static lighting effect, the sounds stop and everything appear normal. Problem also disappears if I keep the rainbow effect but exit iCUE. I do have Steam in background, haven't checked yet to see if it's related. Funny it affects the AIOs in Corsair's own pre-built PCs.... Awkward!! How can this software pass even the simplest of QA ??
