eric418 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 (edited) Just sharing my to-do list of Corsair One initial setup, hope it helps ;) BIOS Check latest firmware version Disable unneeded devices (e.g. onboard sound) Enable "Resume by USB" so you can wake-up the computer with USB mouse/keyboard Drivers Install latest Samsung NVMe Driver at https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/download/tools/ (While there is no absolute need to install a driver but Samsung does offer a dedicated NVMe driver for optimal compatibility and performance.) Install latest Nvidia Driver at https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx Install latest MB drivers via MSI Live Update at https://www.msi.com/page/live-update-5-manual Install other drivers (e.g. monitors, mouse/keyboard) Windows Perform usual optimizations (e.g. disable unnecessary startup/services/effects) Uninstall unnecessary programs Perform windows update Disable background apps Perform storage cleanup Run defragmentation tool (TRIM) Optimise GPU setting (e.g. resolution, refresh rate, color depth) Enable G-Sync Check HDCP status Set Full Dynamic Range Check CPU-Z and GPU-Z for all hardware details (e.g. PCIE gen, RAM speed) Create restore point after everything is updated and tuned Samsung NVMe Install Samsung Magician at https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/download/tools/ Enable Over Provisioning (allocates a certain capacity of the SSD to an available space to improve the performance and lifetime of the SSD) Samsung Magician suggests NVMe temp above 50c as "HIGH", so I set iCUE custom fan profile at 50% to maintain the NVMe at 47c. Check NVMe firmware version iCUE Update iCUE to the latest version Enable Hard Drive Widget For i145s, custom fan speed at 50% with around 750 RPM (ambient temperature 26c) Coolant at ~30c (idle) CPU at ~35c (idle) GPU at ~30c (idle) NVMe at ~47c HDD at ~34c Tips There are USB 3.1 GEN2, USB 3.1 GEN1, and USB 2.0 in back I/O, so choose the right port to connect your USB devices.
