  1. Thanks for the response. My suspicion was there isn't anyway to do it without the Commander Pro. I'd buy another one, but back-ordered. Do you know if these are still in production? The Commander Pro was being recognized by icue but the device would never show up as a device in the home screen so the fans couldn't be configured. I tried resetting the Pro multiple times, deleting out of device manager, etc. and nothing worked. Once Corsair releases the new dual chamber cases, I may just upgrade the case. Not sure if it will be Corsair, but I'd at least like to wait for them for comparison.
  2. I have a Crystal x570 case which has case rgb lights that are supposed to be configured in icue as a basic SP120 fan. I had a Commander Pro with RGB hub that only had the case lighting plugged into it and configured as an SP120. This was working fine, until the Commander Pro decided it did not want to show up as a device in the home screen of icue. I tried everything I could think of to get it working, but no luck. Due to the unavailability of a replacement Commander Pro, I installed a Core XT instead. Everything transferred over fine, except the case lighting. Currently, I have an RGB hub plugged into the 3-pin RGB port on the Core XT. Icue does not give me the option to configure as a regular SP120 fan. How can I get the case lighting to work again using the Core XT? Will the case lighting work coming off the motherboard using Aura sync if the XT doesn't work?
  3. That is good to know. I thought the fans are independent and get a signal from the LED hub and sequence is based off the ports. Makes sense why I switched hubs and it still shows an issue. It actually starts with fan #3 so I will put it at the end of the run and see if that isolates the problem. Thanks.
  4. I have (6) LL fans connected to an RGB LED/Fan hub that is connected to a Commander Pro. Fan operation is fine. Issue is the LED function on fans 4-6. No matter what profile, sometimes fans 4 through 6 will not show the correct pattern. It is like they are not getting all the information. Doesn't do it all the time. When it starts to do it, it will correct itself in a random time frame. I've swapped the RGB/FAN hub with a working one and the issue is still happening. If the Commander Pro port was malfunctioning it would do it to all six fans. If it was the cable, same thing. Can't figure out what is causing the issue besides iCue.
  5. Yes. You gave me great advice about creating positive pressure inside the case. What was weird is at work we add air pumps to enclosures all the time to create positive pressure. For some reason, I wasn't thinking about that case in the same way. Good to hear the pumps are lasting in that orientation. My biggest concern is air getting trapped in the block and hindering the cooling ability. I have not done any testing, just going off of testing from others. It is hard for me to believe the air at the top of the radiator will stay there and not make it to the CPU block sooner or later. If you have not watched it, go check Gamer Nexus AIO Orientation on YouTube. Pretty convincing argument for not putting the hoses at the top since the flow can be seen in real time.
  6. I have an H150i Pro and a 570X Mirror Black case. My question is about the orientation of the radiator. When mounting vertically, the radiator should be placed with the hoses at the bottom of the block to keep air from being sucked into the CPU water block. There is 2%-10% air in these systems when shipped and more accumulates with time. It just makes sense that the air will be at the top of the block when mounted vertically. Corsair and other manufacturers are not vocal about this for some reason. So, why is it Corsair does not make the hoses long enough to reach the CPU in this orientation? The 570X case is made with room at the front for a 360 cooler. This is the only way there is room to do a push/pull configuration. It can be mounted on the top, but will be extremely close to hitting the motherboard with just one set of fans. If the hoses could run a straight route they might make it, but having to go around a large video card will keep them from reaching. Plus, who the heck wants hoses that are stretched out straight in a nice setup? What are the engineers thinking? Do they just not care? I'm confused and disappointed that the design does not meet the standard it should. The AIO is going to die prematurely due to this and I can't remedy it without purchasing a different, larger case.
  7. There is no other monitoring software installed. Also, the PC is not set to go to sleep so it is either running or coming up from a restart/full power on. The USB is inside the case so yes, this makes it difficult to just unplug and reconnect. It still works but on occasion won't report any readings. I'll just deal with it. Wanted to make sure the PSU wasn't faulty.
  8. After starting up the computer today it started reporting again. Not sure what is causing it to do that.
  9. I'm using the HX1000i and it is recognized in iCue. However, all of the readings are blank, meaning it is not reporting temp, voltage, etc. Wouldn't think the USB port is bad since iCue can still see the device. What is the best way to troubleshoot this further?
  10. I had the same question when installing the h150i. Found a real world test comparing the stock paste to Noctua's NT-H1 paste. The pre-installed paste on the h150i outperformed the NT-H1.
  11. May is almost gone, there are new units shipping with 12.2, and the MP600 has been announced. Still no update for the MP510. Support seems to be non-existant for a product that just launched not long ago. Update please?
  12. I was ready to pull the trigger on purchasing the H150i until I found out the fans are not RGB. The decision to not include that is puzzling to me. That feature and maybe an LL fan option would be great.
