I have a 3200G and 1650 Super build(did cheap APU build, then bought used GPU barely months before the crypto-nation attacked) Currently I have the stock cooler and no case fans other than the 120 exhaust which came with the case. I'm buying a Corsair 120mm PRO XT AIO. It comes with a ML120(2400 RPM 75CFM). It will be installed in the only logical place for a 120mm rad, the exhaust next to the I/O. I'm planning to get 2x ML140(1600 RPM 97 CFM) for intake and adding another ML140 as top exhaust. Would love to hear your thoughts.

Hey guys, I have a 2-in-1 question, so first up let me ask this: What are your opinions on Corsair iCue ML140 RGB Elite fans, especially for radiator use? I can't seem to find that many reviews of them. I was thinking of replacing stock fans on my H115i RGB Plat, but then again, those stock fans are ML140 Pro's so is it even worth it? Reading into tech specs it would seem that Elite's have a little less airflow max. airflow - ~83CFM vs Pro's 97CFM - whilst being quieter - 32 vs 37dB - and slower - 1600 vs 2000RPM. I don't really see any difference between blade designs, apart from AirGuide technology which supposedly "increases static pressure and concentrates airflow". Can anyone confirm or link me a review or something? Just curious. So now for the second part of this question: I'm switching from Enthoo Pro M to Eclipse P500A. My current cooling setup is H115i with stock fans as intake (Balanced performace mode) at the front with triple ML140 Pro's as exhaust (2 top 1 back, locked at ~1000RPM). Current temps on mild OC in Enthoo Pro M are as follows: CPU (3700X) 32' idle, 59' load, GPU (5700XT Nitro+) ~55' idle, 71' load. The GPU however, is mounted vertically on Phateks' own bracket, around ~3 inches from side glass panel. I'm planning on putting all three ML140 Pro's as intakes locked at low RPM, since P500A front panel's logic is basically unlimited airflow, with H115i acting as top exhaust. My question is simple - is that enough exhaust or should I buy another ML140 Pro (love those fans) and mount it at the back for better cooling? Oh, and the GPU will still be mounted vertically, but using P500A's own mounting system, so much closer to side panel. Dunno if that's important with that intake potential. TL;DR: 1. Any non-review based opinions on Corsair ML140 RGB Elite fans for radiator use, especially as exhaust? 2. Is exhaust through 280mm AiO acceptable w/ triple ML140 Pro intake fans or should I add another 140mm exhaust fan at the back?

Hiya I'm having troubles with my motherboard. I had received new PC fans this morning, I had 2 fans already so I thought I was wire each fan to a specific fan header instead of randomly fitting it to random ports. When I was done I booted up my pc and ended up recieving 3 long beeps from my internal speaker then it turned on and off then beep 3 times again. I removed the brand new fans from the ports leaving the existing fans and it still had 3 long beeps after turning off and on then 3 beeps again 1 more time. After I attempted to fire the existing fans back to its existing slots and wired the new fans into the free slots that were there before and that after I never had any beeps at all. (Keep in mind I set my pc so it Beeps everytime on startup to make sure no problems have arisen. Now the fans are working system boots up and I have display, the only thing that fails to work is the internal speaker. I did trouble shoot by trying a different speaker incase that one shorted out but to no success. If anyone knows why this is happening please help me out cause I'm clueless as this is my first build and I don't know much about PC's Specs: AMD RYZEN 5 2600X MSI B450 GAMING PLUS MSI RADEON RX580 ARMOUR 8GB DDR4 CORSAIR VENGEANCE 2666 500GB 860 EVO SSD 650W G3 PSU MODULAR

First post: Hi So I've been having some trouble with temperature with a recently built system. I've been hitting some excessive temps (90-100c) with my 9700K at stock settings using a Corsair H115i (with MX-4 thermal compound and 2x ML140 Pro White LED) whilst running Aida64, Prime 95 26.6, CPU-Z stress tests. I did try messing with some overclocked settings, which did drop my load temperatures to 85-95C when running Aida64. 75-85C with CPU-Z. I've tried reseating the CPU cooler multiple times, but nothing has changed. The H115i is from a previous build, but ML140s are new (and beautiful). I'm starting to think they may be the problem and intend to swap them with the original SP140L's later tonight or tomorrow. I read somewhere that you should plug the ML140s directly into the motherboard instead of the cooler itself. I've ordered a PWM fan splitter and some NT-H1 thermal compound which should arrive tomorrow. I'll try that out tomorrow. Specs: CPU: i7-9700K stock settings Cooler: Corsair H115i w/ 2xML140 Pro Mobo: MSI Z390 MPG Gaming Edge AC RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB 2x8gb 3000mhz GPU: MSI GTX 970 PSU: Corsair AX 760

I got a new H115i pro for my rig but swapped it's default fans which were 2 Corsair ML140 PWM fans with the 2 Noctua NF-A14s that I already had, I'm using the ML140 fans as exhaust case fans and they are connected to PWM 4 pin header on my MSI Z270 M3 motherboard. The problem is that when I put the speed of these fans at 100% it doesn't go above 1200 RPM(both in BIOS or using the MSI utility) while according to Corsair's website these are rated for 2000 RPM. Any ideas what might be wrong? One more question I've got is that if I use a PWM Y-Cable for 2 fans does it affect their performance? I read somewhere that as long as I don't overload the PWM header with lots of fans it won't be a problem. Is that correct?

Hi, having a dilemma on what to get for my S340 Elite which has an empty front panel fans for maximum of 2 x 140mm fans. i'm looking to maximize my Ryzen 1500x Processor into 3.9 Ghz maybe but i'm having a problem with my Zotac GTX 1080 AMP Extreme + dissipating too much warm heat that affects my CPU temps. which would you think would make a better choice? 2 x ML140mm on front panel + cryorig H7 Quad Lumi or ID-Cooling Frostflow+ 240 Snow edition. which of these would make noticeable difference in terms of reducing CPU temperature and overall ambient temperature inside the PC? hopefully someone can help me on this.
