    Corsair Nick got a reaction from Altecfenix in Can I use fan splitters on the Commander Pro?   
    The main question I have is, which fans are you planning to use in your build?  The Commander Pro will handle 1A per port, up to 4.5A combined for all 6-ports.  My recommendation is using a second Commander Pro since it will be guaranteed to work.  You can always try splitting the ports if the amperage draw for the fans is within the spec I listed, but results may vary.

    Corsair Nick got a reaction from CommanderAlex in Short in PC Case reset button?   
    Sounds like the button might either be stuck in the depressed position and constantly resetting the motherboard, or the switch itself is bad.  Could try cleaning it with some isopropyl alcohol and see if that brings it back.  We did offer a replacement IO panel, but this case has been EOL for awhile and not sure if and when it would be available again.  Link below is to the original part:

    Other suggestion would be to reach out to our support team and see if there are any replacements still available.  They will have the most up to date information on availability.

    Oh man ok. Yeah, I'd give it a shot and email Corsair to see if they have a replacement front panel for your case. I know there is a Corsair rep also on the forums here @Corsair Nick but hasn't been on in awhile.

    LL140 and LL120? yes.
    No, that's not possible. AFAIK.
    All fans need to be the same series (all LL, all ML. all SP, etc.)

    The reason I added the "AFAIK" is because the above thread only mention the RGB LED HUB:
    Which is basically part of what the Node Core is.
     
    Tagging @Corsair Nickto be sure.

    Corsair Nick reacted to minibois in Mixing different fans to the same corsair lighting node core.   
    Yes, you can mix LL120 and LL140 fans on one controller. Sorry for the ambiguity 😅
    No you can't mix LL-series fans with another type of fan (like ML) on one controller (AFAIK).

    @Nkw820 Go ahead and create a ticket on our support site like johnnyguru mentioned, and I'll work with our Technical Support team to bring in your PSU.  After you create the ticket, please PM me your ticket number so I can have it flagged for processing.  If you have any other questions about the process, let me know.

    The CORSAIR H150i Elite Capellix would be a good option.  You can choose to turn off the RGB lighting, just set everything to black in the iCUE software.  It also comes with a 5 year warranty, should anything happen, we can have it replaced for you.  Let me know if you have any questions.

    Corsair Nick reacted to narrdarr in Limited control over H100i Elite Capellix pump speed   
    Your not doing anything wrong. There is only three option quiet, balanced, and extreme. You can only make custom fan curves but not pump speeds.

    Not nescecarily.

    Looks like the SF PSU's 24-pin ATX, 8 pin EPS and PCIE cables match a couple other series, but the cables are shorter. Not sure about the other cables (SATA, Molex).

    Corsair Nick reacted to Filingo in Corsair: Use stronger glue for those small magnets on the dust filters   
    Thank you so much. Actually it's the metal cover of the top opening, not the filter itself (the 275q doesn't have a filter on top it's a metal that covers the top part for sound dampening i think). I glued all the magnets with a hot glue gun so it's ok now I don't need replacement. Thank you for listening this is actually better than getting replacement 😁

    Second this recommendation. 
     
    If you are after looks then keep in mind that both iCue and CAM both relatively closed ecosystems - CAM Even more so IIRC. ICue does at least have some compatibility with Asus, plus there is more Corsair stuff to add than NZXT. Totally not relevant for performance whatsoever, but I wanted to mention it.

    Yup, we had about a 12 year gap where we didn't make them, but we're back at it.  We currently have the one model, CORSAIR A500, which launched at CES earlier this year.  It's compatible with all the latest sockets except TR4 and sTRX4.

    Like others mentioned, very case by case basis, and what your habits are.  If you think it's one of those "too good of a deal to pass up" then it might not be a bad idea, but that's subjective to you.  You can gauge your memory usage in Task Manager for Windows to see how much you're using when you're doing your daily routine for work.
     
    To give context, I have to use at least 32GB for my work PC since I have a ton of browser tabs, reports, and apps open all at once.  Personal PC, I run 16GB (ITX Build) since it really only gets used for gaming and web surfing.

    Not entirely true about the pump depending on which CORSAIR cooler model the OP is looking at from our lineup.
    Correct, we now support ASUS motherboard lighting control through CORSAIR iCUE.  Newer/current motherboards that support ArmoryCrate/Aura Sync should be all be supported in iCUE.  Older boards, it becomes a case by case.
     
    List of older motherboards supported:

    Corsair Nick got a reaction from Salt Shaker in Air Coolers VS AIOs/Water Coolers   
    Let's set the premise for some thermodynamics: cold air is more dense (more molecules) than hot air (less molecules).
     
    Humidity makes the air less dense and creates for less friction.  For an air cooler, this is a bad scenario because there are fewer air molecules to create friction (transfer) the heat away from the fins.  Since Air Coolers are typically more reactive compared to water cooling by design, the reduced air molecule count will inhibit it's capacity.  AIO's and custom loops on the other hand can have a much larger capacity depending on radiator size. Larger radiators allow more time for the same water molecule traveling through the loop to cool, which in part allows for it to interact with more air molecules and transfer the heat before it hits the block again.
     
    If you've ever had the pleasure of owning and driving an air cooled vehicle on a hot summer day, you'll understand this concept all too well.
