Corsiar icue sucks a**, need new case fans

[Tuan]

my new build i'm using LL120 from corsiar with ICUE. It turns out, Icue its making my new build freezes randomly from time to time and have to force shut down each time * breaks my heart each time I had to kill my new pc* 
Seem like a lot of ppl have the same problem on the corsiar forum. So now I have $100+ worth of fans that I can't even change the RGB colors. Will be returning these and look for something new. 
any recommendation?  I currently have a black and white build, would like white LED if possible and quiet fans with good air movement.  so disappointed in Corsiar right now.

That is odd. I have one and have zero issues with it.

I have zero issues with iCue personally. I have TONS of things on it... 6 LL fans, Water pump, 4 RGB strips, GPU waterblock converted to work with iCue, Asus Motherboard.. it all works just fine with no issues. 

 

This also includes an Commander Pro and a lighting node pro.

I use iCUE and have no issues, are you sure iCUE is the issue?

So i'm doing more research and checked my event logs. It came back " request thread encountered an error: Failed to send result: Io(Os { code: 232, kind: BrokenPipe, message: "The pipe is being closed." }) " around the same time my pc froze. I just uninstall NZXT CAM and will be reinstalling Icue. see if its CAM or Icue.

hey, I thought ICUE was the issues but i recently checked my event logs and saw " request thread encountered an error: Failed to send result: Io(Os { code: 232, kind: BrokenPipe, message: "The pipe is being closed." }) " it came back to " CAM " guessing its the NZXT CAM program. I just uninstalled CAM and reinstalled Icue, will see if its still freezing!

Probably have conflicts from them trying to use the same data stream. Happens even with say iCue and HWInfo64... less software is better with monitoring.

Yes I agree, I wish I put more thought into it before building this PC ( my first build ). I only use NZXT CAM to control the fan speeds since the case came with a LED/fan hub thingy.  are there ways I can control all my case fans speed without using NZXT CAM?

Yes, if you plug them into your motherboard you should be able to control them if they are 4 pin PWM. If not, if they are 3 pin, you need to consult your motherboard manual to see if it supports DC voltage control which most modern motherboards do.

Everything I opened HWinfo64, all the fans would go nuts. Yeah, the fans were connected to Commander Pro, controlled by icue. Go back to BIOS fan control and a simple fan hub now.

bad news...computer just froze again and didnt have nzxt cam running this time and my fans are connected to the mobo with no problem....

Gonna uninstall ICUE for now to see if its the problem.

If you need replacement fans, why not get something like the be quiet fans (black and white) and grab a white LED strip.

 

I think corsair makes white ML fans but they can get pretty loud. The only other white LED case fans I can think of is the Thermaltake Riings.

I'm actually looking on amazon for new fans as I saw your message.  I dont really care for LED anymore. I'm about to return the corsair fans and the ram and pick something else up. no point having a corsiar set up if i can't even use the ICUE without crashing. 

Which version of be quiet would you recommend? looking for something that is near dead silent at 50% speed

I bought the high RPM fans that go up to 1500 RPM by accident for my build and they are pretty loud at full speed. They are basically silent around 1000 RPM though so unless you need the brute force or higher airflow of the high RPM don't get them.

 

These are the ones I would recommend.

cool thanks, looked over some YT vids and reviews they look dependable! I will pick them up once I get the refund from the LL120s
