is anyone here familiar with the corsair icue software? trying to figure out why the thermal sensor for the CPU keeps hopping up like 15 degrees then falling back down to idle temp for a split second then jumping again. HWinfo does the same thing, but the BIOS reads a steady temperature. I have my DIMMS set to change colors at certain temps based on package temps.
knotty sparrow
is anyone here familiar with the corsair icue software? trying to figure out why...
It's because when you're in the os, it's not a constant idle load, especially with icue running using resources. When you're in bios, it's a constant load.

1 went to where I circled? If there's an actual manual or something I'd check. Bummer some of these aio's might have weird cables and mobos have various headers because rgb or pump isn't as common or it's just newer than a normal 3-4 pin fan header. 
tranquil ingot
Nah 1 is 4 pin for the fan on my pump and the other is an unlabled 3 pin connector that has only an arrow on it...
Also if it was going anywhere it would go to the aio pump above cha_fan1 no?
left pulsar
I dont see cha fan 1 lol, but anyways.... EDITing is this where that weird 3 pin* plug goes perhaps? idk, because we gotta make sure they do the same voltage. (12v header, 12v device or w/e) -------edited
nvrmd I found cha fan 1 lol, and aio pump above it. Ok so at least the pump should be going. Perhaps ADD_header means additional header, but I'm not familiar with it.
tranquil ingot
That header is for led strips

argb and 4 pin pwm are different
5v and 12v
If you put 3 pin argb into pwm header
You'll fry the damn thing

that indeed looks like argb plug
argb is somewhat different than rgb? This was their mobo EDIT. you can scroll up at look at other headers if you'd like. I'm at a loss though

tranquil ingot
Artic freezer 2 360

Oh yeah rgb is literally just the general color changing crap, while A-rgb is newer and I forget what it stands for.

If I have the sata for the radiator plugged in and the cpu fan connector plugged in will it work? Just wanna make sure everything else is good

You should have two connectors that'll go to your motherboard

we gotta see the rig after all this lol
brisk rain
The one on the top is for fan control, the one on the bottom is for rgb
tranquil ingot
It’s a 3060 ti with a 9700k and I hope it pops off
@brisk rain I got that
I bought my board back in 2018 so I thought when u said argb is new I had no hope lol
brisk rain
Nice
argb is recent, but not that new
The top connector in the picture will go to connector three in your diagram, the bottom one will go to connector nine
tranquil ingot
Yeah I built my rig back in 2018 Black Friday, but I have the 4 pin in the cpu fan, sata in sata, and argb on fan plugged into the led, and the last 3 pin is left hanging loose unfortunately for the meantime
Yeah I got that tysm
I never had rgb fans so I never done this b4
Wait so those fans on my radiator are all set from that one sata right? Bc they just go straight to power supply
brisk rain
They are powered from the sata connector but controlled over the four pin fan header

The 4 pin is on the pump over the cpu tho

I enjoy doing this, just when I have the right stuff lol
Yeah I upgraded from a nzxt h510, Corsair h60 aio, to a planteks p400a and artic freezer 2 and when I built this pc first I had help from a bud so it’s still somewhat new to me
Now the next problem I must solve is where do I put my hdd when I removed the hdd tray for the triple fan aio lol
Wish me gl 😂
brisk rain

left pulsar
Right on. Good case choice. I checked and there was a quite a few cables. Oh, also this lol. We're all set though now!
brisk rain
@tranquil ingot Does the p400a have the option to slide the drive cage closer to the PSU? I know that some cases can do that, forget if this is one of them
tranquil ingot
It won’t be able to slide, I have a non modular psu lol
Back when modular were like 250 bucks for a 750 watt
brisk rain
Dang
left pulsar
Oh, no 5.25" bay huh. we need better ways to randomly mount a normal HDD in various spots lol.
brisk rain
5.25" is mostly phased out. Phanteks has a 3.5" bracket that you can add in, not sure if it'd interfere with the rad though
left pulsar
Don't pay mind to my RC 690. I removed the whole lower hdd cage but left the 5.25" bays w/ a 120mm in front right below dvd drive and the shown adapters holding various drives. 😅
brisk rain
That's nothing, I made a 5.25" to 3.5" adapter out of an old CD drive using a hacksaw, drill press, and rubber vibration isolation grommets
tranquil ingot
Where do I put my third fan and also where do I connect my rgb for the fans?
brisk rain
You can hook a fan up to the pump header in the bottom right
RGB should be header 4, you might need a splitter to get all three hooked up
tranquil ingot
It’s a 3 connector do I put it on the last 3? @brisk rain
brisk rain
Oh, I don't know then
left pulsar
Also can I put 3 fans or only 2?
huh? a normal fan header should support 3 fans, yes.
tranquil ingot
I need to put 3 fans on and I have 3 4 pin connectors
tranquil ingot
<@!336977861758156801> you have argb

That , is, awesome. Basically eliminating normal thermal throttling is not a bad thing, and not letting parts hit 80+ helps their total life, in my opinion.
left pulsar
Nice, isn't it?
Although, is the airflow supposed to be rear/top going towards front? The rear and top fans definitely are flowing inward it appears.
left pulsar
no doubt it is better than many other setups. GPU is getting a good stream from the front fans also.

Non-hdd boot drive for sure. I prefer plain air also. Even just 2front intake 1 rear exit is plenty w/ a bottom intake for gpu. Can have 3 front intake too. What they said. 224xt something or the frost spirit is what I'd do because Thermalright has always been somewhat top tier. Look at the base on 1 they have

So help me god if I go back to bed and sleep for an hour and come back here and your still typing, lmao. Damn. That’s noice, and how would that attach to the mobo?

I’ve heard some crazy good stuff abo Noctua other than the price and that’s why I was considering them
shrewd juniper
What part? I said had, could be has though
Uhh well technically all of it 😂
If you want the best reasonable fan(one that's not powerful enough to cut a Banana with it's blades) phanteks t30 is the best 120mm anyway
left pulsar
More reasonable prices lately on some stuff. Hah pato. Noctua I know at least had a rep about their fans, even w/ the colors. Their fans by themselves often $20-25 though
lime kite
That came from left field ngl
shrewd juniper
And well heatsinks aren't really tested separately
But thermaltake is kind of an underdog sure
But i wouldn't say they've got any advantage over noctua or be quiets heat sinks

It’s because of what they use in the fans, the plastics and all that

I saw that guy that had load temps of like 45 degrees earlier, Matthew I think, what was he running?
That was bonkers tho

lime kite

left pulsar
Funny some are only $130ish on a sale. They really help when OCing quite a ways & upping Vcore

But yeah, load temps below 80 would be great, I guess I should expect 77-79 on the new setup after I commit purchase
Anything lower is a gift from god 😂
left pulsar
80C max doesn't seem crazy to get. Oh, Arctic freezer 2 I think actually it was.
lime kite
Yeah because right now I’ve had temps of up to 86 Celsius on Fallout, that game is prolly the most intense
Oo
Kewl
left pulsar
86c w/ stock cooler should be 75 max w/ any decent tower hsf. Probably even better, and it'll be quieter. 120/140mm fan at 1100-1400rpm. That's what mine runs but this cpu is only 65w. I'll be sure to post my temps when I finally upgrade in a few weeks.
left pulsar
Yeah. Decent airflow alone willl help. Like the bottom intake makes the gpu use it's 0 fan mode way more often.
lime kite
Yeah I pulled the glass panel off just to see how it would drop, it got down to 77 under load
Put it back on and physics dictates the temps should go back up, which it did
I may try again here in a few hours after breakfast lol

Not pst I hope, it's really early

Same. Oh "I am being rate limited". 
I'd like the p400 case. Just need a (new) case unless I do mobo on it's box and/or build something

I like the possibility of a dual system on the 500
I did actually look at the 600 which seems appealing because it’s a hybrid case, but I just came back to the 500 because it seemed more airflow focused which I desperately need

Mainly just needed a gtx 3080 12 yrs before 30 series was a thing
left pulsar
Slight exaggeration, I'd have to lookup some reviews to see what was the 1st gpu to max it out at only 1080p. Maybe the 980 ti. For 60fps i mean
left pulsar
Tbh they value was bad a year or so ago. 970 was worth $150ish. That & the 2.higher ones are still pretty good for a lot of only games at 1080p though.
Yep. Not like we need "max" setttings in everything. I was partly getting ready for 1440p or just 1080p 165 Hz when I upgraded
left pulsar
Oh yeah, when 980 ti is close to a 1070 & 1080 ti matches the 2080 almost
left pulsar
Those 2 ti models were really good. 1080 ti even got 11GB vram. Helps w/ mining probably
lime kite
Nobody cares about the 90 model, I think the 30 series is the first to have it
I see a lot of 70s and 80s, but the models below that tend to drop a little@quicker and be good for beginners
Not that nobody cares, I guess nobody has 1600 bucks for one lmao
left pulsar
Yep, 50 & below are much weaker but also lower power for more systems. 90 model might've been dual gpu in the past. Can't think of all but single was 8800gtx/9800 gtx then dual gpu was 9800gx2.
lime kite
90 anything really I don’t see much of, the RX590 and the 3090 lol, rare to see them in systems
I heard the 9800GTX was a freaking monster for it’s day
GTX2 prolly
left pulsar
3080 ti might be newer? 3090 has more vram i thought. 9000 was good. gtx 200 was a big jump. I went 8800 "gts 512" to gtx 260 & had that a few years before 660, then 970 after another couple years.
Around time of 9000 or 200 series was awesome because it was funny how much or little clockspeed or cores changed. 400 & 500 series was alright, 1 was Fermi & ran hot hot. It's neat skipping over 3 or 4 gens.

well I'd still go pa120 over the non RGB version unless that few bucks really makes or breaks your budget lol
pa120 still looks to be in a completely different class of cooler

My 5900x is currently under 2-5% load. The only thing I’m doing right now is watching a football stream and the temps are right around 48-51 degrees. Should I start looking into more fans or a different cooler?

Idle temp is usually just an indicator of room temps, load temps is what you want to care about, anything idle in that range of temps is okay
gentle swan
Ok. I’m still probably going to try two more fans. I have 2 intake and 1 exhaust. There’s really only 1 fan that’s pushing air directly into the CPU cooler area. The other is pushing air into the area under the GPU.

What case you got, what fans where and what cpu cooler?
gentle swan
Corsair 110r. 2 pure wings 2 fans in this setup. 1 exhaust fan that came with the case. I’m using a dark rock 4 cooler.
I had to move one fan down because the GPU is so large. I could just put a fan on the other side of the bracket

Dark rock 4 or dark rock pro 4?
shrewd juniper
Yeah that wou explain the temps then
gentle swan
The cooler or case?
I could very easily pick up a new 4000D airflow tomorrow
That would give me the extra fans

cooler, the "pro" model I think is new/better.

Should I pick up a new case and cooler?
shrewd juniper
Should I pick up a new case and cooler?
The cooler would benefit you more but the case wouldn't be any harm either

If I got a new case it would make getting an AIO cooler possible

Right now HWinfo64 is giving me a highest temperature of 40-43 degrees .
Are these temps alright and would still recommend a new case and cooler?

Yeah idle temps are fine, load temps are what really matter tho

Alright I’ll try to find something to load my CPU

Occt or something would be my go to, cpu z will do for a quick test

Im wondering how much my new P500A will knock my load temps down when it arrives in about a month
Right now it’s like 82-85 degree highs
Hoping it knocks it down to like, low 70s maybe
left pulsar
Probably. just having a steady solid stream of fresh air helps a lot, GPU likes 1 or 2 intake fans on the bottom.
furmark 4K (non-oc at the time though), max gpu fan was 39%
sacred wren

I have exactly 0 intakes on the bottom
I do have two intakes blowing directly at the cpu and gpu from the side
And one intake right in front of both
Then one exhaust above cpu and on the other side of it
left pulsar
I've got 2 intake 1 exhaust in the normal spots. If I had a side fan it would be exhaust to pull the warm air from the gpu heatsink. Probably unnecessary though.
lime kite
I’m excited to see how it’s all gonna perform with 3 intake and 1 exaust lol
left pulsar
positive intake better than negative. 3in/2out would probably be great, but no concern. Oh, technically I do have 3in 1 out.

You think I should still add a bit thermal paste
knotty sparrow
Stock stuff is usually fine. The best aftermarket paste is usually 2-4 degrees better, not really worth it. Liquid metal can be better but harder to use and risky.

Someone suggested something about a graphite thermal pad
shrewd juniper
nah just use paste
knotty sparrow
Graphite pads are only good for saving time if you change cpu or cooler frequently. They're not as good as paste.
lime kite
does anyone have experience with SCYTHE coolers? ive heard Noctua and them both are the 2 best on the market as of rn
scythe looks like its only Intel platforms only, notsure if this is true
lime kite
scythe seems like a hidden gem lol
low pumice
Thermalright more so
lime kite
from what im reading its a lot less expensive than a Noctua N12A or whatever
low pumice
It loses to u12a though
lime kite
yeah U12A is what i meant lol
lime kite
of course throwing in Cummins engine prefixes always helps lmao, N is a 14 liter engine series
but yeah
ill check out Thermaltake too
shrewd juniper
If you're looking at a u12a I'd just get an aio
lime kite
my P500A doesnt even arrive till febuary and im waiting till then to see if i need to upgrade the stock cooler
low pumice
Only thing scythe does is quiet because fans spin slower
low pumice
If you're looking at a u12a I'd just get an aio
nah man u12a does get a12x25's so there are cases where I'd rather get u12a :p
lime kite
ugh why febuary, does it really take a month and a half to get me a case?
knotty sparrow
It depends on the case, your location, and the location of the item. High demand stuff (or obscure low demand stuff) might take longer as they have to restock before sending it.

You only have 5600x right ? Frost spirit 140 is plenty for that

low pumice
How come?
Lets say long term home server deployment, you want quiet, you want it to sit there for say 5 years without having to do anything
shrewd juniper
Fair
lime kite
from what people are saying, the FS140 is overkill which is good to hear lol
is Noctua really the "Gold Standard"?
noctua is so damn expensive tho lol
shrewd juniper
is Noctua really the "Gold Standard"?
Well for air cooling
lime kite
thats what i figured, the D15 is like a cooler made by god or something it appears
low pumice
Noctua is the Gold Standard, mainly the Standard, it's great, but it's not really competitively priced, and not always best, but when they come out with something, its almost always great, and a standard to compare other products with
lime kite
yeah, thats what a lot of people have said which is why i immediatly gravitated towards the U12A lol

How is the 4770K such a famous flagship
It’s like a chip god made himself
It’s going on 9 years old and still kinda relevant
Idk why or how
azure crown
its not really relevant anymore...
unless you already have one
or you got it for free
would rather 10100 with a cheap 50 dollar board
than go hunting for a quality board to power a 4770k
that hasnt been manufactured in 6 years
low pumice
Optiplex.
low pumice
Oh I was just saying where 4770k still relevant
low pumice
Yea, not worth getting it new or even used on its own
Unless optiplex, in that case then maybe
azure crown
that are probably end of life cycle and been replaced
oh you mean if someone bought a used optiplex
then yeah, pop in a 4770
low pumice
Either throwing a 4770 in an optiplex or getting an optiplex with 4770

yeah

but an optiplex is pretty cheap tho
can't make 10100 setup without spending more than one
or double

hes not talking about this from a budget perspective

it was a very popular chip tho
