Secondly I switched the pump speed from silent to extreme and that caused the liquid T under normal browsing to fall down about 6-7 degrees. Maybe my fans profile is so "silent" that even the pump speed matters (usually it should not, or let's say "not so much"). But I got that getting around 10 degreed over CPU temperature is a reasonable range of functionality. The side plates are really nicely finished and a Corsair badge that matches the design of the pump, giving it a nice uniform appearance. In Fortnite it gets up to about 80C. In normal use I doubt I would ever get to 100C and activate throttling, but interesting to know, thanks.
K70 RGB, K70 RGB PRO, K70 Lux RGB, K70 RGB Rapidfire, K70 RGB SE Rapidfire, K70 Lux, K70 Rapidfire, K70 PRO MINI The popularity Corsair enjoys in the PC-cooling market rests almost entirely on the Hydro Series of products which cover nearly every segment of the market from entry to enthusiast—the only thing missing is an expandable option. Then there are the H100i and H110 for extreme cooling purposes as both were until recently the best the cooling line had to offer. When it comes to heatsinks and fans, Corsair really does have a product for just about everyone. In addition to a 240mm radiator, the kit comes with Corsair's new AF Elite fans. These are high-performance 120mm PWM fluid dynamic bearing fans that combine a low-noise design with the company's 'AirGuide' technology for powerful cooling, quiet operation, and exceptional durability. They also support Zero RPM and Variable Pump Speed specialized cooling modes in iCUE to keep noise to a minimum when your system is idle or under light loads.I find out my H60 pump speed from a third party utility known as Speedfan. It is denoted as CPU Fan probably because the cable of the H60 is connected to my mobo's CPU fan header. It is 4299 rmp! Miraculously high!! I got this image from guru3d review of the H60 . My motherboard doesn't have the CPU_OPT header. What do I do? So, when something goes wrong with your Corsair H80i v2 CPU cooler, updating its driver should always be your go-to option. There are 2 easy and safe ways to do it:
From there, proceed with your typical Hydro Series cooler installation (don't forget to plug in your power and USB cables). Hmm, yeah you're right. Using HWINFO64 I can see the temps up around 100C at max load, the CPU starts to thermal throttle at exactly 100C. The Corsair H80i v2 driver runs on your operating system and enables it to communicate with the CPU cooler you use. If the driver hasn’t been properly installed on your computer, your Corsair cooler won’t fully function.https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Liquid-Cooling/Single-Radiator-Liquid-Coolers/Hydro-Series™-H60-%282018%29-120mm-Liquid-CPU-Cooler/p/CW-9060036-WW
It will definitely be adequate, but in terms of noise and temps, YMMV. I'd expect most people to get better temps than me, since I'm running this in an old Corsair 400Q case with the two default 140MM acting as an intake, and the only other fans in the case are the ones on H80i acting as an exhaust. I also replaced the two Corsair 120MM fans on the H80i with Noctua ultra-low noise fans, so I lose quite a bit of cooling capacity but it runs near-silent even at 100% fan speed. If you used a stronger pair of fans like the ones that come with the H80i you would get better cooling performance, and if you had a case with better airflow than mine you'd probably do better still.Thanks to both and I beg your pardon for replaying so late… but I've been some days on holiday (at last!!!). question: as I mentioned before, my motherboard is the old P8Z77-I Deluxe which provides only 1 CPU fan header and 1 Chassis fan header, so when I install the pump, by common sense I will connect the fan 4-pin cable to the CPU fan header. But I know there is a pump fan lead cable, to where I should hook it up??
Lian-Li introduced the new Galahad II Trinity series of AIO liquid coolers this year in a variety of models and configurations. If you are looking for something that offers great performance and sports plenty of RGB lighting, then the new Galahad II Trinity SL-INF 240 should satisfy your needs. This version comes with Lian-Li's SL-Infinity 120mm RGB fans that are just loaded with RGB lighting all around. It even comes with infinity mirror effects, on the main fan hub and both sides of the frame to give a unique look, and like most Lian-Li fans they can be daisy chained easily for better cable management. Even the pump-head can be customized with three deferent caps bundled in the box for a unique RGB look. Corsair does not list a maximum safe temperature, but every brand I know of puts it somewhere between 50-65C liquid temperature. It really doesn't matter for the physical pieces. Sealants and adhesives might not fare as well for long term exposure to 65C coolant. However, something of a moot point since 50C coolant will put your CPU temps into the 90s and force you to take action or shutdown. The CPU will always hit its limit first. The NZXT Kraken Elite 280 RGB liquid cooler is an update to the popular Kraken Z63 featuring an all-new LCD display. It is now sharper thanks to higher 640 x 640 resolution and even offers a 60Hz refresh rate for smooth animations. The screen can be used to display custom images, animated GIFs, and system information with adjustable orientation. NZXT claims that the AIO also comes with an updated Asetek pump that offers the best cooling performance and up to 2,800 rpm whisper-quiet operation.I don't know why but in these days fans are reaching speeds (and noise) like they never did before… ambient temperature has risen but not to that level… and it's not my first summer in this house. Since I changed the fans on the radiator and used I custom profile, I was worried about not using the AIO properly.
Great Deal
