i skimmed a few of them. i figure the more we load up their forums and annoy them, the quicker they'll fix it. just pissed off cause of all the time i wasted last night doing a complete windows reinstall for it to be this crap causing all of my issues

I've attached two photos. One with iCue running, and one with iCue completely closed. I knew iCue had updated recently but didn't attribute this to my cpu issues and had gone through so many steps including a fresh windows install to try and fix my pc and be able to play my video games again all to find out that we got a faulty iCue patch recently?! Is there a fix to this so I can control my fans so my pc doesn't overheat or are we screwed until Corsair patches their bad update?

Ooookay. That makes sense. The voltages were confusing the crap out of me lol. So I have the pump set to balanced, seems fine. How do the rest of the fans do on balanced? I've got a nice little custom curve setup (I think) for my chassis fans that seems to have gotten the noise down quite a bit. But the two fans on the radiator have only the option to set % custom curve so it's hard to tell. Maybe I should just keep the pump and the two radiator fans on balanced and only tweak the chassis fans to my liking with a custom curve?

Setting up RPMs and such in the iCue software now. What are the recommended settings for the pumps and fans? Pump at extreme, fans on whatever custom curve works for my system? And what about the voltages on the fans? Gives three options on the right side, 3.3V, 5V, or 12V. Not sure what they're supposed to be set to or if that's just something that happens automatically? Will try to post snips of what I have now

More than likely I’m not sure I’ll use any of the sequencing lighting effects. Chances are I’m going to keep it a cool blue for a white/soft blue cold look or maybe run them rainbow at times so I think I’ll try the one rgb fan hub and just plug the fan cooler lights into the cooler. If I hate it I can always change it I suppose. As for how I have my fans set up as of now, I’ve got three intakes on the front, the two intakes thru the radiator on the top, one exhaust on the back, and two exhaust on the bottom. My hope is that this will bring a bunch of air in all over the cpu and gpu and then blow all the hot air out of the bottom and back. Depending on how it feels on my desk, I may change it to intakes on the bottom and exhaust on the top if it’s blowing a bunch of hot air on me around the desk. But then of course I have the ugly side pointing up if I change the bottom ones and they’re much more noticeable than the top ones so who knows lol. I guess once I get it all fired up once this commander pro arrives I’ll stress test it and make sure everything is staying cool. I wanna do some cpu overclocking. I’m hoping all of this will be enough to keep everything cool. I’ve read places that the asus auto overclocking has gotten a lot better than it used to be. Is that the suggested route for some new to building and completely new to overclocking? Don’t wanna fry anything.

Well looks like I can get rid of that extra rgb hub then lol I was worried I needed that extra hub to sync the lights from the cooler. But I’ll just take that hub out and plug the rgb male connectors into the on female connectors on the cooler instead if it’ll sync up. Yay less wires. I’ve seen mixed builds with the fans on the radiator (I have the h100i rgb Platinum se (white)) Seems like some people have set the fans up to exhaust air out the top of their case. And some have set up the fans to intake air through top of the case and through the radiator (which is how I’ve done it and how the manual suggested doing it) was that the best way?

Is the rattling coming from how it is mounted or the fans and bearings inside themselves? Try holding firm each fan bracket where the screws are mounted in to see if it stops rattling. If it stops it could just be that they aren't mounted very well or a screw is stripped or something. If they continue to rattle while holding the frames down firm and it sounds like it's coming from inside the fan, it sounds like the fans could be having some bearing issues. If that's the case, sounds like you might need to replace the fans. But definitely make sure that it's not just the mounting screws causing the rattling

Thank you for the reply. I've gone ahead and ordered the commander pro to make things simpler for myself in the iCue software. Now as far as a few other things go: 1. I've plugged the aio fans into the aio itself, but disconnected the rgb cables, left the two from the aio hanging, and the two from the fans running to the rgb fan lighting hub. Will this work the way I'm hoping it will? I won't be able to control the speeds of these will I since they're plugged into the cooler? Or will I actually be able to control them in iCue because I'll have the usb from the cooler plugged into the commander pro? Does it work and sync with the other chassis fans in iCue if I connect those rgb cables from the fans on the cooler to those rgb cables on the cooler, ditch the extra rgb fan lighting hub since I won't be plugging those fans into it, or only the way I've stated above? 2. The other 6 chassis fans I've plugged into a separate rgb fan lighting hub and will connect them to the commander pro for control. 3. For the temp sensors that come with the commander pro, where exactly should those be placed? Just hanging somewhere as close to the important components as possible? 4. As for the aio cooler and it's fans. I understand that those fans need to be connected to the cooler, but what I'm assuming is the aio pump cable (the fan cable that splits off from the sata power cable) needs to be plugged into the cpu fan slot on my mobo, correct?

First time builder here, I have the asus rog strix z390-e gaming mobo which looks like it has 8 fan headers for the pwm connectors on all of the ll120 fans. Am I seeing that correctly on my mobo? However, they’re all labeled certain things but I’ve read different places I’d just have to remember what fans are connected to which headers if I wanted to set the speeds in bios and that it doesn’t necessarily matter which headers I plug them into as long as I remember. Is that how that works? Or should I get one commander pro and plug 6 of the fans into it and then maybe plug the h100i fans into the mobo? I’d be able to control the 6 chassis fans in icue correct? And then the h100i fans I would have to control in bios? I’m very new to this so any suggestions on how you guys would set this up would help a ton. For reference. I have the 680x case. Three fans pulling air in through the front. Two fans pushing air out the bottom. One fan pushing air out of the back. And then the two h100i fans I’ll most likely configure to pull air in from the top thru the radiator. Now where the heck should I plug all these fans in?!
