What type of cable are you using to connect it?

Is this the desktop resolution you are changing or in game resolution? Are the drivers up-to-date?

Having issues with a Corsair AIO? Possible fix here:

Spoiler

Are you getting weird fan behavior, speed fluctuations, and/or other issues with Link?

Are you running AIDA64, HWinfo, CAM, or HWmonitor? (ASUS suite & other monitoring software often have the same issue.)

Corsair Link has problems with some monitoring software so you may have to change some settings to get them to work smoothly.

-For AIDA64: First make sure you have the newest update installed, then, go to Preferences>Stability and make sure the "Corsair Link sensor support" box is checked and make sure the "Asetek LC sensor support" box is UNchecked.

-For HWinfo: manually disable all monitoring of the AIO sensors/components.

-For others: Disable any monitoring of Corsair AIO sensors.

That should fix the fan issue for some Corsair AIOs (H80i GT/v2, H110i GTX/H115i, H100i GTX and others made by Asetek). The problem is bad coding in Link that fights for AIO control with other programs. You can test if this worked by setting the fan speed in Link to 100%, if it doesn't fluctuate you are set and can change the curve to whatever. If that doesn't work or you're still having other issues then you probably still have a monitoring software interfering with the AIO/Link communications, find what it is and disable it.

That's weird. Both DVI and VGA are rated for 1080p. The only thing I could see being the issue is maybe it doesn't like the adapter.

Do you have any spare cords that you could try connecting the monitor with instead?

You don't have any HDMI cables laying around anywhere? Not even connected to a tv that you could unplug to test for a second? Damn that is a shame. I have a strange suspicion it maybe related to using VGA.

It's not my gpu/monitor btw, also we live like 40 km apart (so i can't lend him my cables)  Im only posting it here because he's lazy. 
also i don't know why he doesn't have any connector other than a vga.

Well then that sucks. I mean he could try buying a different cable and see if it fixes the issue but it may or may not work. I guess maybe they could return the HDMI cable if it doesn't.

I'll try asking him that (I'll probably just go to his place and bring him the hdmi)

Yeah it is definitely worth the try because I can not think if a reason why it would be a gpu issue or a monitor issue unless the monitor isn't 1080p.
