Steve1978 reacted to --SID-- in RMx1000 Corsair and HVPWR 4090 build
Corsair wouldn't sell it if it wasn't fine to use. It's 2x 8 pin PEG to 16 pin PCI-e5.0 600w.

Damn, in that case maybe a 600R....
Its each to their own really i suppose, just good that there are plenty of options for people, I used to love the ultra wides, had one for many years but my 1080 started to struggle with modern titles. I would have got the G9 if i had enough money and space! although playing first person shooters on a screen that big would be a bit tough!
Just good to see new screens coming to the market, I personally am a huge fan of the OLEDs so I will be keeping a close eye on this.

Steve1978 got a reaction from JXS in Corsair H100i v2 High Idle and Load Temps
You could try what I tried....
tottally stripped it it out bought new hoses tested pump all works well. Just trying to figure out how to refil it, ideally I would like to add a fill port / bleed port but don’t know where. Going to take it to see a plumber!

Steve1978 got a reaction from XR6 in Corsair H100x Review
Hi,
Well I used to have a Coolermaster Seidon 120mm AIO and the pump gave up after about 5 years. Anyway I spent a long time looking around the various things on offer and I finally went for the Corsair H100x. This is the cheapest 240mm AIO in their line up because it doesn't use the patented Asetek kit and instead uses one supplied by Coolit (I believe) and this means that they can get the price down by not paying royalties. I ended up paying £79 for the AIO and I thought I would post my findings here as there isn't really much coverage of this cooler on the internet that I can see.
My system is an Intel Core i5 4690k with a Gigabyte H97n-Wifi Board. under the old CPU cooler I used two fans in a push pull config, I used Akasa Piranha fans which I have always been a 'fan' of. I also use a NZXT Grid v3 to control all the fans but the Rad pump is plugged directly in to the motherboard. I use a Nvidia Super Palit Jetstream 1080 GPU. The games I play mainly are NFS and BF5.
Under the old 120mm fan I would get around 32 degrees idle, occasionally dropping to 25 on a cold day. Where i live at the moment the temperature is around 3 degrees Celsius. When gaming I was hitting temperatures of up to 70 degrees C on the CPU according to the Cam software. Now with the new H100x my gaming temperature is 35-38, this is a huge decrees!
I have tested the new rad using 2 Piranha have fans, 2 Corsair Fans, all 4 fans together and even no fans at all. I can say that using 2 or 4 fans doesn't really make much of a difference. the temps remain at the same when under load or idle. The new idle temperature is between 19-22 degrees C.
I would definitely recommend getting this cooler.

Ok, I am thinking this...
Asus ROG vii hero £257
Ryzen 3 1200
corsair 16gb plc 3200 Ddr4
then when the new chips are out I could upgrade the cpu to the new 7nm
