  1. I bet it is just to expensive to make for the price point, for how many they sell. They don't do it for the Dominators. Also when they developed the enhancement kits, RAM was like 2x more than it is now.
  2. I have had to wait on things to come back in stock, that showed OOS before, never had an issue with getting something, when it shows in stock. Also people online seem to let others know when 5000D AF panels are in stock.
  3. The intention of those vents in the PSU shroud, is you can flip your PSU so it intakes from inside the case. I would skip putting fans there.
  4. The easiest thing would be to flip the rear 120 around to intake and just source a 120mm magnetic filter from some where, if you are worried about dust. Another thing is you could replace the 2x140mm with 3x120mm. I have 2x360mm rads and I am doing the following: Front = 360mm Rad Intake Top = 360mm Rad Intake Rear = 120mm exhaust Rear Bottom = 92mm RGB fan under GPU. Side = NULL If needed I could always add some 120mm in the side and try that, though I am not to concerned as the important things get the coolest air. Here is my build:
  5. I am curious if Corsair uses 16AWG in their new 12pin connector for 3000 series FE cards. Anyone happen to know the answer for this?
  6. Gigabyte just like Corsair doesn't manufacture PSUs. They have various companies like Flower, Seasonic, Greatwall, and MEIC. I never knew about MEIC, until their Gigabyte Branded PSUs started exploding. Some manufactures are more involved than others in the design, while others are hands off and just brand it with their name. I won't argue with you about not buying a Gigabyte PSU. I wouldn't buy one, though I wouldn't order chicken at a seafood resturant either. I will try to objectively buy what ever product suits me best.
  7. Go with the coolant tempature. It will slowly go up and the fan can ramp up as needed. Using the CPU/Package can make the fan noise spike louder on occasion. With coolant it will be more gradual.
  8. Please delete my above post as this forum acts odd when trying to post images, many are upside down. Even editing the image and reposting seems to have issues. I would have edited the above post, but I lose the ability to do that after a few minutes.
  9. I know there are many makers in this community. I wanted to put a list of useful 3D prints that are downloadable via various sites. Feel free to list other items and I will put it on the list as well. Please only post things that you have printed or used personally. Desk Accessories: Corsair Coaster: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4731517 Controller Mounts: Corsair Commander Pro: 5000D - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4783537 3.5" Disk Mount - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2804884
  10. Agreed, you really need to buy from a trusted user. Though even with "new" products you need to be very careful, especially from Amazon. I have seen people in the past report faulty fans/rgb controllers, when I ask it is always from Amazon. My thought is people prefer to RMA their devices by buying something off Amazon and returning it in a manner it seems unopened, so it is restocked. If they plug in a non-Corsair device to a controller and they don't know what they are doing it can blow a fuse on the LNP. In any case always report sellers who are repackaging what they are selling with the wrong products. In some cases the seller could just be buying bulk returns from Amazon and reselling them w/o knowing that someone else pulled one on them/Amazon. I bought a headrest off eBay a couple weeks ago and I got a white headrest, instead of the advertised black. Seller bought bulk returns from staples and didn't check, before sending it out. The box said black, though the headrest was white. They offered to discount it $10 or send a return label and refund my money. I went with the latter.
  11. I always prefer AIO on top as exhaust as the GPU tends to be the limiting factor so I would rather keep the GPU cooler, so it can boost more often.
  12. As a Gigabyte MB owner, I really wish Gigabyte would partner up with Corsair as well. It would be nice to see other companies products supported by iCUE. UIntil then I pretty much keep my MB RGB off. I am not a fan of having a lot of different software installed on my machine, so I do prefer one to rule them all.
  13. It is nice to see they improved on the HD-500 RGB Fan:
