So yesterday too delivery of my new PC -
5000D Airflow,
12700K,
Z690 Plus WIFI D4,
32GB Vengeance Pro RAM,
RTX3060 Ti, 500GB 980 Pro SSD,
2 x Barracuda HDD, Raid 1
1000w RMx power supply,
H150i Pro XT cpu cooler.
On receipt and switching on the PC the H150i cooler fans x 3 were immediately very noisy (spinning at 4700rpm I saw later). I did Windows updates and at this speed and noise whilst I installed some apps. such as Bullguard and EMClient. I noticed all fans were all set to “Balanced”.
I installed HW Monitor – CPU was fine – not hot at all at around 30C. No other components were running hot.
Chassis fans were apparently not needed as they did not spin. Not sure about the 3060 Ti.
I updated various drivers including Armoury Crate and iCUE (via Corsair website as the utility in iCUE kept hanging) as I thought this might initiate a slow down if the firmware was out of date. It didn’t.
Called and spoke to PCS support. He took remote control and he tried to adjust fan profiles in iCUE, Armoury Crate and in the BIOS via Q fan. The 150i remained spinning at 4700rpm. He asked me to photograph the mobo so I removed both sides and did so. He couldn’t fix, so it's
being collected today for a RMA.
Also note that the boot of this PC is very slow at 29 seconds (according to Task Manager/Startup/Last Bios time). My 7 yr old rig boots in 26 seconds from an old Samsung850Evo SSD. This new PC has a 980 Pro SSD in it so should be lighting fast.
So guys, let me know what you think the issue is and I'll update you when it's sorted. I'm very disappointed...
