I did email the CEO with the photo and explained how I wouldn't send in my motherboard damaged, and I didn't have any photos before shipping to prove I didn't cause it. He asked for the photo I did have just showing the board with the cpu cover on, and at the end of the day he waived the repair fee. If anyone needs CEO support, just look on the Asus website under support. Next time I rma something I'll make sure to photo the serial number clearly, with clear photos of the cpu pins.

I have an Asus Tuf Z690 Plus motherboard I sent in for rma beginning of March. I didn't check the serial number and found out they replaced my board in the previous rma with a refurbished or new one. So having the wrong serial # took all month for them to process, and finally getting an email today saying I had caused physical damage and it was not going to be repaired under warranty. The picture they sent me has a few cpu pins bent or missing, I wouldn't have bothered sending this type of damage to them hoping for a free fix. My choice, pay $135 for repair, dispute, or toss it in the garbage. I sent in a dispute even though I don't have a picture to show my cpu pins before shipping. I also sent an email to their CEO on the Asus site. I hope this isn't a scam. any further steps I could take please let me know, thanks.

I finally received the RM850x Shift, the side plugs really make a difference, easy to install and hide the cables. They placed a sticker on the psu saying low power will cause the fan to not spin. I can't hear the psu fan at all, low or high power usage. Glad I bought it. Where the 2 RM850e's both sounded like a small engine I hope they figure that out.

My temps on start up are up to 45c idle. Nothing restricting the air flow, fan is facing down, on a mesh filter. The psu is running constantly and sounds like a small motor, louder than my water pump motor, kind of an annoyance since I have all Noctua fans. That graph is on the outside of the box, I do have the psu watts on in Afterburner. It's 117w with only a web browser and no programs open, 327w while gaming. If you look at the RM850x it has a graph and it also says 0 fan noise 25c ambient. It does appear to be temperature controlled. Corsair did have me send in a sound file of the noise which helped in the rma process.

My case is an S2, it does fit with the shift. The shift is a better psu, having Japanese capacitors than non which is in the RM850e. The db graph shows at 50% load does the fan start to make noise. Hopefully it'll be quieter. I will give it a try and let you know the results.

My case doesn't have the room for a shift. Shift has the cables on the side of the psu. RMx looks good, some reviews were saying they had issues. On the Amazon description it shows a graph. @25c ambient it has 0 fan speed until 340 watts. Who has a pc that runs that cool? Maybe that's why my psu keeps turning on the fan because it's not power draw, it's above 25c then turns on. It is a loud fan motor noise though. The RM850x I'm looking at is $194 usd, so many versions. Low noise and nearly silent at low loads it says. 340-540 watts.

Your right, just describes the fan as 0 rpm mode at lower temperatures. On the side of the box it has the graph, but you can't see it on the picture. I did contact Corsair, they're willing to rma it. I'm wondering if they'll give me a refund. Do you have a recommendation for other psu's? Just read some others saying the RME series have loud fans and defective, I'm going to return this, find a better made one.

It's a Fractal Design S 6, the psu has the fan down. All the information is on the Corsair website, and on the box. At 170 watts the fans turn on, 10 db up to 340 watts, then starts to increase db to 60 tops. Has a graph for the description. My case temps are around 35-45c idle.

Now with the replacement, same model, the fan is constantly running. I have a silent case so this is the only noise I hear while idle. It is supposed to be 0 fan use until 170 watts, then 10 db of noise, which it sounds about what I'm hearing, but my pc shouldn't be drawing 170 watts while idle, what I've read it isn't drawing close to that. Any suggestions ?

Anyone recommend a small pump/res? Around $100, maybe Alphacool?

EK-XRES 100 DDC MX 3.1 PWM (incl. pump) is my pump/reservoir combo. The pump recently stopped working, I cleaned out the gunk from previous colored coolant and it worked for about a week. On EKWB site they only sell newer models and I didn't see my reservoir listed for compatibility , anyone know a pump replacement that would fit? Or should I just but a new unit. All I need is a small pump/res for my i9 12900k, EKWB has them listed for $200 usd and I'm not sure about Alphacool, they have one for about $60. The Eisstation. Mixed reviews.

Checked the motherboard, made sure a cpu mount screws were evenly tightened, same no display.

I haven't checked for a bent pin, and I do have a similar cpu frame bracket , Thermaltake I think. Guess I'll have to do a tear down see if it is a pin.

My specs: Windows 11 i9 12900k stock Asus Tuf 3080 oc Asus Tuf z690 Plus Corsair Dominator DDR4 16gig RAM (8x2) Corsair RM 850e watt psu EK Quantum cpu waterblock I just purchased the motherboard, 850w and ram, installed and booted with no post. The ram light on the motherboard is lit up, so I changed their positions from A2, B2 to A1, B1. Then just one stick. Cleared the cmos, checked my video cable, tried another cable, power cable connections, I'm not sure what else to try.

5 years? I cleaned the fluid because Primochill recommended every 6 months. My tubes aren't even that old, maybe a year. The sunlight doesn't reach the inside. I can remove this tint by cleaning it with a cloth at the end, something from the cooling liquid? Checkout the image I posted the link above. I just watched a video and they mentioned Primochill does leave behind sediment in the radiator and blocks, I need to try another coolant. Maybe EKWB.
