Wolf Pacifier Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Corsair fixed fan on these brackets or it's still @ 50% minimum? (I saw complaints about this (noise) in this thread before). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSFrazier Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 My EVGA hybrid kit is getting identical temps that some of you guys are posting, so that is good to hear. Glad Corsair finally got this right, if those are the correct temps. I just couldn't wait any longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesleydn Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I have noticed that with the fan on the bracket, its loud and you cant control the full speed of it.. I stopped it from turning and my pc was dead silent, is there a way to change the speed to go really slow or stop when no under use like the normal GPU air coolers do?

Datafiend Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Hey guys. Any help would be appreciated. I just install my HG10 but I'm seeing literally seeing no improvement. I'm getting up to 84 under load and 35 idle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 You will want to double check the mounting as well as the pump speed and fan speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skhmt Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Support just told me the updated standoffs aren't available yet. :( I have noticed that with the fan on the bracket, its loud and you cant control the full speed of it.. I stopped it from turning and my pc was dead silent, is there a way to change the speed to go really slow or stop when no under use like the normal GPU air coolers do? You can swap your corsair fan with the nvidia blower fan. It'll fix the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farside87 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Is there going to be an official word from the Corsair PM to address these issues that some of the consumers are experiencing on this thread? It would be nice to hear most of it cleared up for some of us that are waiting and being put on back order. Obviously if there is a QA problem again people have the right to know so they are not wasting their money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously if there is a QA problem again people have the right to know so they are not wasting their money. If you are referring to the standoff issue, this new part # CB-9060008-WW should take care of that as we have included the right standoff to address the issue. http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Hydro-Cooling-Bracket-CB-9060008-WW/dp/B01ALIU7AS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1456170918&sr=8-1&keywords=Corsair+HG10+N980 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova25 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) Question, If I install the new model on an EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB SC+ GAMING w/ACX 2.0+ (06G-P4-4995-KR) ... can I keep the backplate on that came with the card?

tufgriz Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Just got off the phone with our support guys, they have a few left in stock. So you might want to double check with them. I was also told they were not out yet, In my opinion those of us the purchased directly from Corsair should automatically have the revised standoffs shipped to us when they were made available.

Do you have a ticket created already for this issue? If you do, send it to me and I'll make sure that you get the revised standoff. For those who already owns the HG10 N980 and have the warping issue, you don't have to send the whole bracket kit back, we'll simply send you the fixed kit but you have to submit a ticket so we can validate the request. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GearDraxon Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) I've posted a comment to my support ticket - I'm a bit concerned that Graybeard phrases it as "there are a few left in stock," as I submitted my ticket right as we were advised. I've not received an update since then, so if they are suddenly out of the part needed to make this ~3-month-old issue right, I'll be pretty displeased. Edit: Yup. Ticket just updated with "Unfortunately, we do not yet have any of these available." I'm hoping that this is just a miscommunication.

farside87 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Successfully installed my HG10 on my 980 in my corsair 250d with a h60 cooler. temps in a small form factor like that are way better now 55c under full load, 29c at idle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathAngel74 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 My temps are exactly like yours. I'm using the stock eVGA ACX 2.0+ cooler though. I wonder if a AIO will improve upon those temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GenCrusher Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Hey guys, I have an HG10 980 coming UPS today and I bought it mainly for stealth or quiet gaming... So do I need to replace the blower fan to silence this thing or is it acceptable compared to the stock fans blasting away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamado80859 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Using an H60 with the 970 bracket idle Temps of 28-32, load usually 57-65, rarely near 70, mostly in RotTR. However, every once in a while, usually when I launch a game, the Temps will pop up to overheating Temps (90s), i have to reboot, then it's immediately fine. I tried changing the pump power setting in my bios to aux, worked for a couple of weeks, did it again. Bought a sata fan power adapter, did it almost immediately after, and then again the next day. I'm at a loss and not sure what else to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Could be a bad pump. I would put in a support ticket with Corsair and see what they say. https://corsair.secure.force.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenCrusher Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) Hey guys, I have an HG10 980 coming UPS today and I bought it mainly for stealth or quiet gaming... So do I need to replace the blower fan to silence this thing or is it acceptable compared to the stock fans blasting away? Alright I got the HG10 installed on my 980 TI and I have no problems with the blower fan but my question is how tight should the m3 screws be? The manual says snug and not to over torque... Should the m3 screws be screwed in all the way or just tell they start to get snug?? I have mine to where the screws are snug but I can still see a little thread left on a couple of the screws... Idle temps 32c / load temp 60c. EDIT #1: I took the card and bracket out for closer inspection and what I found was that the screws have to be pretty close to all the way screwed in or the thermal pads wont touch... but in doing so the tighter the screws are the more it bends the PCB! I just tried to tighten the screws to where there was the most minimal bend in the PCB but the pads were still touching. Will report back if I have any problems. EDIT #2 My OCD kicked in and with a few normal hardware screws and nuts I had laying around I was able to custom install the backplate on my EVGA 980 TI SC ACX 2.0+ along with the HG10 bracket. It was a PITA to take apart again but the PCB has a lot more strength now and it is not bending as much, The GPU also seems to be making better contact with the cooler since its straighter now.

GearDraxon Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 So, Amazon has the fixed part in stock. That means I can spend another $40 and order a complete replacement for the non-working part I've had since November, and get it Wednesday. Or, I can wait until Corsair gets more of the standoffs for those of us with RMA tickets in (apparently late March.) This is getting silly, guys.
