Aussie steam download servers are currently having issues... less than 1/20th of the speed for me. 400KB/s vs 11000 KB/s. Solution: Change your region in Steam-> Settings -> Downloads to "New Zealand" to bring it back up to max speed.

Thanks @JackyQI'll look into it.

I got the NH- L9i and its super silent now Plus its about 9c cooler than stock.

I spoke to the PC shop and they recommended the NH-L9i (would be nice if copy and pasting from websites didn't preserve the large bold font) So I bought it and it is super silent, and 14 degrees less than the Stock Intel Case is Silverstone GD09 RAM is typical height. I did need to bend the HDD bay metal bracket down so I lost a drive bay, but I managed to wrap the HDD in non-conductive material and jam it on top of the GPU next to the PSU, and another drive at the front of the case above the cable mess opposite the PSU.

Will check it out, thx

Played around with it and I found the solution Sent it to SB support, hopefully they will get it sorted in the next Command release. I managed to install firmware 1.5 by uninstalling the latest Command software and installing the previous version USBCMDMasterInstaller_3.4.72.01.exe I managed to install the SXFI profile in Windows after force closing the Android app. I connected the X3 while the PC was off, and connected via Wireless using the Android App, hoping it would "Personalize" the X3 properly but it just hung forever.not sure if that was any help in the process. It seems like the Android app hangs when trying to upload the profile to the device, which caused the Windows Command app to fail when you try logging in and uploading the profile in Windows. My original SXFI profile sounded super robotic, but I took the photo's again and this time with my phone's flash instead of an LED flashlight, and that made a HUGE difference. For some reason the left ear was quite louder than the right but you can adjust that if you click on the Playback->Speaker gear icon and mess around with the LR balance. Its best to play music when you do this. Use a track with a clear precise sound to hear Center properly (I used Riley Reindold - Growth). Took me about 20 minutes to get it right, if you click on the balance circle you can use the Left and Right arrows to micro-adjust the balance.

I tried Microsoft's one built into VS (WiX or whatever its called) but its overly complicated and I cannot get it to compile at all, it just does nothing. I would like to use a simple one with a nice GUI, I just want to add the files and set the name and version strings. Any recommendations?

SB support told me to uninstall the drivers and make sure its using Microsoft drivers, then install the SB drivers and Command app. That didnt work. However when I force closed the Android App, I was able to login to the Command App in Windows and download the Profile. I tried updating the firmware to 1.5 but that still fails. I really want to use 1.5 as this unit can be quite buggy. Sometimes I get no sound, or the right channel doesnt work, or the Volume keeps on going down to 0% when I use VOL DN on my Logi MX KEYS. I need to reboot Windows to fix the volume down bug. For the other issues I need to reconnect the X3's USB cable.

Noctua NH-L9i? Its an HTPC so needs to be small

The stock fan is very noisy, and the PC will be right next to be so I need a cheap silent heatsink fan. Recommendations?

Understood, alright I'll make it myself, perhaps using parts from an existing floating VESA arm. Thanks for the info.

Yeah that's what I thought, maybe I could build it myself but I need that rotating mechanism that can take 15kg

Budget (including currency): $200 Country: Aus Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Racing Other details: none I'm building a new HTPC machine designed to be used on a couch. I would sit on the couch normally to play racing games. I would lie down on the couch to watch youtube. I want to rotate it away to the left of the couch if I need it out of my way. So I need an arm of about 1 - 1.5 meters that can rotate 180 degrees, and lock into place at each 90 degrees. I searched google images, I couldnt find anything that is mounted from behind. Does such a product exist?

Yeah that was my first thought, they probably want to show ads on the right side or something like that.

It used to always remember the last view I had, now (since a week or two ago) it always loads in the squashed Default view. Every time I load a YT vid I need to click the Cinema button Anyone else have this issue?

nope the firmware doesnt update, it says its installing, but then closes and shows the previous firmware version

oh there's a new firmware 1.5.xxx I thought it already installed it, installing now...

I've taken photo's of the ears and connected to the X3 via Bluetooth and created an account. I then went back to the Windows Command App (v3.4..83.0) and I signed into Super X-Fi, but every time it hangs at 0% for a few seconds and then says Failed to download Profile". I tried installing the latest firmware 1.4.200612.1610 but it made no difference. Any ideas?

ok thx for the advise

I dont see a reply button, but I see Quote, did you mean Quote?

I've set the Fan in the BIOS to "Silent" (was difficult to find), I'll see how that goes, thanks

GA-Z270X-Gaming 5 Koala land = Australia

I have a Silverstone GD09 HTPC case with 1 added 120mm system fan, a Corsair. (the case comes with its own fan too) The fan is constantly changing speed all the time and is quite annoying, the PC is about a meter away. Can I simply disconnect it? (Core i7 7700 with stock cooler, no overclock) Is there a way to keep the fan constant or not change so rapidly? Or should I buy a quieter fan?

I swipe the screen down and I click on Lights, then It shows the Light controls, Then almost instantly it shows this error

I left the cable in the other case Its booting now, thanks
