    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST RGB ON RAM SOLID

    I have this issue occasionally. If you go into Task Manager and close the Corsair services, then restart iCue it should do the trick. I can't remember exactly what the issue was but the new iCue software created other gremlins so I went back to the original version.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Corsair iCue Quiet Profile Settings

    I've got a very similar system to yours (although 5900x/6800XT/H100i) and had the same issues when I started. It's very easy to do your own profiles. I use HWinfo to log temperatures, then manually adjust the fan curves in iCue. In simple terms I have the pump balanced, and the fans on this part...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST RGB fan issue Corsair Obisidian 500 SE Case

    As you go on, you might find from time to time that some of the elements randomly switch from whatever lighting profile you set up on iCue to something else. If that happens, exiting iCue completely and restarting it usually does the trick.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST New Killer spec PC but still issues playing Control.

    Actually just tested it, not as bad as I thought, about 50FPS.....falling to 20FPS when ray tracing is switched on high. Roll on the next generation! :rolleyes:

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST New Killer spec PC but still issues playing Control.

    I have a 5900/6800XT and it's playable at 4k at ultra with no issues but frame rate is probably no more than 40. Control is a tough game on specs by all accounts.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Corsair 500D SE with Rear ML120 Pro RGB Fan fitted

    Yep the LL syncs with the others as a group of 4 so didn't have any issues there. But as I've got ML's in the top the same as you some of the lighting profiles look a bit odd. Rainbow swirl looks great though. It's a great looking case and I'm pleased with it. The removable filters are really...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Corsair 500D SE with Rear ML120 Pro RGB Fan fitted

    I've done the same as you apart from it being an LL to match the front 3. Brought a worthwhile drop in temps, especially when I had a Zotac 3090 in there for a while. Absolute no brainer for £20 or so.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST New Router??

    I wasn't expecting max speed with VM even with wifi 6 so that's a bonus but the stability of the connection is the big win, particularly with work VPN video calls being able to be made more reliably now. Although the bandwidth will be shared out between the devices, we've had a number of them...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST New Router??

    Fed up with random disconnections (5 or 6 times a day) and variable speed I recently switched my VM hub 3 to modem mode and for £195 managed to bag an Asus RT-AX88U router (also to take full advantage of my £19 PCS wifi 6 card). It's made a big difference and although the PC is at the opposite...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Shall I buy windows 10 on pcspecialist ?

    Last week I tried to do exactly this - deregistered from the old OEM machine with my digital licence being held with Microsoft. It wouldn't activate the licence on my new machine and after 2 hours of arguing the toss with Microsoft I had to give up in the end. Meant I had to buy a retail copy...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Shall I buy windows 10 on pcspecialist ?

    OEM will do the job unless you feel that there's a chance that you may want to transfer it to another machine (motherboard) in the future. In that scenario you might want to buy a retail licence.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST 5900x/3090 benchmarks and cooling thoughts

    Yep I noticed how quiet the pump was, left in balanced all the time and fine tuning custom curves for rest of it now. That's made a difference already rather than using quiet mode which is anything but quiet if the temps are allowed to spike (y)

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST 5900x/3090 benchmarks and cooling thoughts

    Cool air coming in from the front 3 LL120s and heat being chucked out of the top by the ML120's on the H100i so yep I think so! I've never been able to game at anything above medium settings before so guess a bit of extra heat and fan noise is to be expected at settings that high.

    Or it would have lifted off the desk :ROFLMAO: Hopefully the additional LL120 tomorrow will temper the heat in the case (and subsequent fan noise). Cheers

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST 5900x/3090 benchmarks and cooling thoughts

    2:02pm on launch day 5th November. Originally ordered without GPU, then I added in a 6800XT at 1.58pm on that launch day, so was probably one of the first to get that bagged. However, went back to non-GPU build a couple of weeks ago (live chat told me they were pessimistic about getting XT6800s...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST 5900x/3090 benchmarks and cooling thoughts

    Here's a current grab below from HWinfo (been idling for past 30 mins or so) H100i pump temp is currently 28.9C but has risen as high as 45C when I was gaming in ultra yesterday : Also, never bothered with sensor analysis with my 10 year old machine so new to HWinfo - does that chipset temp...
