  1. I only come on here to to see if you have fixed the Harpoon mouse yet. I guess not.
  2. I think the 680x works better as a water cooled case, but with rads top and bottom, both exhausting and the front 3 fans as intake. Air cooled you are working against the glass obstructions, and if you are looking at removing them, I think you bought the wrong case for your use. My water temp is 31c on idle/browsing & 37c when gaming and my 2080Ti never goes above 50c overclocked with 22-24c ambient, so the case can provide good temps I think, but only with a build that fits its design. It's not high air flow as Corsair advertise though.
  3. My Commander Pro is double sided taped to the top right metal frame when you remove the right hand front plastic cover. If you position it correctly, the cover goes back on the the wires can be fed through the holes in the chassis plate. I have had no problems with overheating of the CoPro - it does get warm to the touch but it does this wherever you place it. I have a RGB fan hub similarly taped exactly the other side of the CoPro too, to make cable management easier.
  4. You can put 5x ML 140mm fans in there but you need to buy the 280mm radiators, rather than the 240mm & 360mm. I'd give up on the configurator to be honest and look for help here and elsewhere - search for pictures of the case you have and go from there. This is how I configured my 680x with 5x 140mm fans & 3x120mm - Corsair will tell you to put the pump/res in the back chamber. https://forum.corsair.com/v3/attachment.php?attachmentid=40250&stc=1&d=1611355438 https://forum.corsair.com/v3/attachment.php?attachmentid=40251&stc=1&d=1611355475 https://forum.corsair.com/v3/attachment.php?attachmentid=40252&stc=1&d=1611355487
  5. Assassins Creed Valhalla: I spent longer trying to get a smooth experience in the benchmark than was necessary - the benchmark seems to play worse than the game proper. No worries here at 4k/60 (or very nearly) at max settings on 2080Ti/3700x/32GB@3200/PCIe 4.0 Nvme A decent addition to the franchise, but not earth shattering. It will do until Cyberpunk drops.
  6. Just updated to firmware v.30.08 and it seems to have fixed the double click problem. Both wired and through the dongle (so far). This literally was driving me nuts, and having spent thousands on Corsair products in the last year, I'm very annoyed it's taken this long to sort. Compensation is very definitely in order here, Corsair. I hope you're listening.
  7. Have you set these up correctly in iCUE? You need to check the 'Lighting Setup' in your AIO device, assuming that's a Corsair model and that's what you've plugged the RGB leads in to?
  8. First post, but a while lurking and using Corsair components. Bit of background by way of introduction - been playing none-professionally with computers since my first ZX81 and was overjoyed with my first 'modification' of the 16kb ram pack - been messing ever since via towered up Amiga 1200's with 68050 processors and all manner of PC systems. Just put together my first custom water cooled system, but I did have a H100i Platinum on here previously. Currently running Ryzen 3700x, 2080 Ti, x570 motherboard. All Corsair parts plus a couple of Bits Power fittings. 2x280 rads & ML fans, 680x case. I went straight for Acrylic 14mm tubing but wimped out on bending anything :sigh!:, but seriously I wanted only right angles in the build. I'm getting good temps and low noise :sunglasse A couple of issues I need to address: - a few of the pipes aren't level, easy fix - top rad out fouls on the VRM plastic cover, need an offset fitting - Corsair PCI link cable is far too long and is very close to fouling the fan - Corsair PCI link cable leaves no room for my preferred drain via 'T' piece & bottom front rad socket - all system needs to come apart to move the pump position a millimetre - wires very short on XG7 - XL5 clear, well, isn't A don't think Corsair do enough variety of fittings to make building a loop ideal. Some ~10mm deep male to female fittings would be great as well as well as an offset (10mm) straight fitting. How are you supposed to connect the drain valve to the 'Y' piece without a male-to-male fitting? The biggest issue I have is with the fluid. I ran de-ionised water through the loop for a day and it was clear as anything, including several flushes. Once I put the XL5 in, it was immediately cloudy. It's been running another day now and shows no signs of clearing. I take it it's not meant to be like that? Again, all new Corsair components. I'm happy overall with how it's turned out, but I know I will 'have' to tear it apart to turn the pump around so the logo faces front, but this does mean the fill port will be obscured and I'll need more none Corsair fittings. The drain is terrible too. Thoughts/constructive criticism? Cheers guys.
