So what do we make of the tweaks in radiator design? Well, in our opinion, this was the key element of the second-gen release of the cooler. The H100i relied on very high-RPM fans to achieve class-leading performance, while the H100 v2 uses a bigger, denser radiator and lower-RPM fans with higher static pressure to achieve similar results. As you’ll see next, it is different, but is it better? The Corsair Hydro Series is a good product.”}},{“@type”:”Question”,”name”:”Is the Corsair H100i v2 RGB?”,”acceptedAnswer”:{“@type”:”Answer”,”text”:” I dont know If it has anything to do with this but, inside ICUE, in the settings tab, shows this message: "H100i v2 has not been configured", even though It shows the temperature and the rpm of the pump and the fans.

My room temperature is pretty hot, 39C could be the currently temperature in the cooler. Without ICUE, the fans work perfectly no matter what is the ambient temp, accelerating and decelerating according to the game im playing. But with ICUE, the fans speed up even if the ambient temperature is cold, just to start the program. In my past professional role and experience in managing technology products, that list will require a lot of work to fix. They will need to take one of their own fans and try to modify them to work the pump controller. They will try to modify the pump controller - but's an expensive so will focus on a workaround with firmware. The CL is a major re-write. We bought that Cooler.....we have lot of problems and you just keep talking about none here in forum instead of solve problems that im sure most of customers have.K70 RGB, K70 RGB PRO, K70 Lux RGB, K70 RGB Rapidfire, K70 RGB SE Rapidfire, K70 Lux, K70 Rapidfire, K70 PRO MINI I dont know what I can do, I hope you all can help me solving this problem. Any help would be appreciated. The Corsair H100i v2 is an air cooler that has a rated lifespan of about 6 years. Is the Corsair Hydro Series Good?

Corsair cooling system built-in Monitoring, modification, and control are all possible with this link. Now that the unit is mounted, we will want to plug in power cables for both of the fans and the pump. The H100i has an integrated 4-fan hub which is where you will want to plug in your H100i fans. You will find two ports on top of the cooling unit, where you can plug in the included fan power adapter cables. Each adapter will support two fans, and by plugging the fans directly into the fan power adapter cable and into the cooling unit, you will be able to monitor and control the H100i fans through the Corsair Link V2 software. Your current set up of pump/AIO header and fans/CPU Fan is viable, but you are missing out on the benefits of the cooler. Fan speed does not affect CPU temp directly and on most recent CPUs, you will see very dynamic changes in CPU temp for normal desktop operations. You don't need your fans to spike to 1500 rpm because you open iTunes. Some boards have fan delays to ameliorate this (including Asus), but the actual results are mixed. On some of my Asus boards the delays don't work. The delays on CPU fan are already short, but all three of my X99 and Z370 boards ignore the delay setting on CPU fan. The only reason to run this way would be if you can't or don't want to run the Link/iCUE software. In that scenario, board control is better than no control. This is another way to do it ... setting the header to PWM mode does supply the constant 12V of power. The PWM signal is ignored. I am with you.. I have had mine since Nov 2012...with very noisy fans even on low speed...now the pump is making grindng /gurggling noises...LED's have stopped working...etc, etc.

Device path: \\?\SWD#PRINTENUM#{AF264D3E-87F5-4D85-BD89-742CADD79995}#{0ecef634-6ef0-472a-8085-5ad023ecbccd} There may be legitimate or uncontrollable reasons your coolant is at 40C without load, but this is what we need to focus on. For now, you can get around the max speed by creating a custom curve as suggested originally. Those will not jump to 100% when you hit 40. Thank you very much for your answer, I think that it is solved for now. According to your reply, I set the 100% rpm to the 50C, achieving that the fans run more deccelerated and less noisy. So if 39C is your typical baseline coolant temperature at idle, set that to a comfortable fan speed. Start to ramp it up to moderate levels from +3-6C and then put a high speed flourish around 50C to let you know unequivocally things are getting hot without the need to stare at the software. A software driver that takes 2.3+ GB to install just to tell you fan speeds and temps, that runs 64+ processes and runs at 6% + CPU usage all of the time is not "impressive" in any universe. And certainly not when that software is riddled with bugs, some as old as 3+ years - Fundamental stuff that should have been fixed by now.
