H80i issues

Chris R-W · 21 Jun 2014 at 11:18

Hi,

Recently purchased a h80i for my system and i am having several issues with the corsair link software and also the fans sometimes sticking at 100%.

Within the link software half of the readings are not there such as the pump temp and colour change thing. I can not change any of the fans to different modes e.g quiet mode or performance etc. Also one fan is apparently constantly at 2500 rpm and giving a reading of 128 degrees c which is impossible as the system would have turned off.

I am running windows 8.1 and have tried installing in windows 7 compatability mode etc still no progress. I have refitted the unit also and nothing has changed.

Please help as i cant stand 100% corsair fans for any longer and want to do some overclocking with readings i can trust !!

Thanks

Get hardware monitor, real temp, cpuz and such have you went to corsair and downloaded the software's latest version?

Im not so fussed about the readings at the moment i just want to be able to change the fan settings etc. And yh been to corsair website got the latest version.

Corsiar Fan link, is incredibly buggy still youll just have to bare with it change the fan speed in the bios

What brand mobo have you got? Could you not use the onboard control using their software? Like Asus something.....

just remove link, run the h80i from cpu fan header, plug fans into mobo or case FC if you have one. corsair link is awful

Well seems everyone hates the link software haha. I have an Asus board so shall i just plug it into my cpu fan header and another one into the board. Am i able to change fan speeds in the BIOS or do asus supply some software that you can change it within windows ?

I use the H100i under Windows 8.1 along with Corsair Link and cannot fault it. Everyone has different experiences, but mine has been flawless.

I would highly recommend using a custom fan curve as you have greater control over the RPM vs temps. The custom curve also adjusts the fan speed based on the coolant temp, not the CPU temp which for me has been the ideal method giving you great performance but a silent operation.

Idle temps are around 30c with the RPM hitting 400-800rpm, which I cannot hear by the way and load temps with my 2500k @ 4.5ghz touches around 60-65c with the fan speeds around 900-1200rpm.

Let me know how you get on

Awesome work snips86x it worked a treat have got the correct readings an can now set fan speeds etc and can also change the LED colour on the cooler which is a nice touch, currently running an AMD fx-8 8350 so my temps might be slightly higher than yours i shall mess about and find a decent curve for the fans.

Thanks again !
