For anyone wondering the same: I took the plunge and bought the three pack including lighting node pro and 6 port rgb hub for the fans. Don't know what the difference is between my setup and that of 'Shark With A Laser', but for me I can set and forget on the RGB and settings persist. I disabled autostart of Corsair Link (i hate all the junk ending up in tray). I even tried shutting down and unplugged power cable and hold power key to drain caps to ensure no power to the corsair controllers. Then plug in power and boot - RGB settings persist. The Corsair controllers must have their own memory. I am positively surprised.

Hi. So i'm thinking about buying a 3 pack ML120 Pro RGB kit including the Corsair Link Lighting Node PRO controller. But I'm using Linux most of the time, but have no problem booting into Windows to change my RGB. That's what I currently do with my ASUS Aura stuff - boot to windows, set RGB, motherboard remembers settings so they persist even when booted to Linux. So this is a question to owners of Corsair RGB products and in particular the Corsair Link Lighting Node PRO controller. If RGB is set in Windows using the iCue software, will the settings persist when rebooting or will it be rainbow barf until the iCue software loads again? Thanks in advance :)

I want another rad at some point. But no room in current case. Probably getting the O11 dynamic soon which will have plenty of room. But not in a rush. When gaming, CPU is sitting at around 60-65 and GPU around 50-55 so it is absolutely fine. The system is not as silent as I want it to be, but it is SO much quieter than it was with air cooling

Thanks for the answers. That put me at ease. I hadn't even thought about the die size! If Ttnuagmada gets 8-10 with liquid metal and a slightly larger die i feel better about my 14C delta :) Thanks for the help!

It runs completely stable like that. I have gamed for hours and hours in multiple games without any crashes. Memory is running at +900MHz. Every chip is different, so my results won't be like yours.

Its my first time watercooling, so just wanted the advice of someone more experienced. This is my system: Ryzen 5 2600x with EK Supremacy Evo block (not OC'ed) Strix 2060 OC with Bitspower Brizo full cover block (OC'ed sustaining 2070MHz under full load, no voltage increase) EK Coolstream PE360 with three Vardar fans in push EK D5 pump/res combo. Loop order: Res -> Pump -> Rad -> CPU -> GPU I measure water temperature after the radiator with an inline temp sensor fitting. I know, i know: "Why would You watercool a 2060... etc etc". Because I thoroughly enjoy it and because i like a silent computer. Anyways... The GPU block is the latest addition. And while my chip temperatures are great compared with the aircooler, i'm afraid the block might not be mounted as well as it could be. Several places I can read that the delta between the GPU and the water should really be less than 10C, and for a decent block probably more like 5C. And given that this is for higher powered GPUs than my measly 2060 I would expect my delta to be probably more like the latter. But I am typically seeing my GPU temperature at around 50C with a water temperature of 36C or so under load. My question is this: My temps are just fine for all practical purposes, but it annoys me to know that I might be missing out on 5-10C lower temps. Are the 5C deltas I read about online just bragging or is this really what i SHOULD be seeing? I don't want to reseat the block for no reason.
