    Should i replace my 12VHPWR cable?

    I purchased a "Corsair Premium Individually Sleeved 12+4pin PCIe Gen 5 12VHPWR 600W Type 4" for my "HX1200 1200W PSU HX Series 80+ Platinum Modular" in march 2023.

    I recently saw the post regarding Corsair's new 2x6 cable, should i be replacing my Cable with the new iteration?

    Ram compatibility question

    So I recently bought a new set of DDR5 RAM from Corsair, but I’m experiencing some problems with it. When I enable the DOCP profile, the PC crashes very frequently. I went ahead and reduced the RAM speed from 6400 MHz to 6000 MHz, and it has been working fine so far.

    My question is: am I losing out on some performance due to the RAM being marketed as “Intel XMP” ready? Should I return it and buy the AMD version, or are they basically the same thing?

    Not sure if Corsair PSU is dying or what my computer problem is

    Off the bat I'll admit that I don't know if this is the best place to post this but hoping for some insight. I have a Corsair Builders Series 500W PSU in my current computer which I built in 2015. Twice in the last week I've started my computer from sleep or hibernate states (not from a complete shutdown) and my keyboard, mouse, and monitor will not turn on with it. I noticed today that my comp sounds very "labored" when it starts up, i.e. the fan seems slow to get up to speed. I fixed this before by unplugging everything from the computer and plugging them back in, but I've tried that now a few times and still no luck.

    Is this a sign that my PSU is dying/has died? It's now almost 10 years old, but so is everything else in this computer aside from the GPU which I got in 2020. Would be open to hearing if there's some other issues besides the PSU that I could address. I'm (finally) about to upgrade a few parts anyway so don't mind getting whatever's necessary. Thanks in advance.

    Occasional green flashing Virtuoso Max Wirless

    Hey, I've recently switch from my HS80 to the new Virtuoso Max Wireless PC.

    Sometimes I observe that the rings flash green and then back to the iCUE settings, headphones are not plugged in. It seems to happen when I take them off but could be observational biased since I don't the the lights when I wear the headphones.

    The manual doesn't say anything about it. Is it a glitch in the iCUE settings or does it have a sensor to detect once it's been taken off you head and the green light is the battery indicator!?

    Any experiennce?

    H150i rgb pro xt hex file

    I was hoping someone could provide the hex file for this cooler as it's essentially bricked. I bought this cooler 3 years ago and the first day I set it up and tried to download the firmware through icue the lights bricked and the fans are stuck at max rpm. Furthermore, the cooler is no longer being recognized through icue.

    H150i RGB PRO XT

    I've tried talking to support but it's going nowhere so hopefully someone can send me the hex file here thanks.

    Corsair H150i elite lcd making 2 different weird noises + questions

    Hello,

    I have a few questions about how my AIO is performing, as well as what I could do to fix these odd noises.

    First question is I am running a 3 intake 3 exhaust fan setup, and a 7700x cpu, with the H150i elite lcd.

    I am idling around 50-60c which I think seems to be pretty high, but others have said the 7700x runs hot and is all normal. When playing games, the highest I have seen my cpu go to is around 85c. The only exception to this is that I hit 95c when running a 3Dmark benchmark, but I am unsure if that is normal or not, please let me know.

    Please let me know if that sounds like my pump is working as expected

    The other problem I am having is that my pump is making 2 different distinct noises and I am not sure if these are signs of error, and if not, how to fix them.

    I have attached a video, which is a crackling noise coming directly from the pump, and not from a wire hitting a fan or something. Is this a dying pump? Or perhaps just air trapped and its all normal. This sound is quite quiet, and can only here it when the glass panel is off.

    Popping sound

    The other sound I have attached below is a artistic rendition haha, as It's really hard to record with a phone, really have no idea what this could be, it comes along around every 20min for about 5 min and then goes away.

    Other weird artistic rendtion sound

    Please if you know any of the answers to my questions let me know. Thank you very much !

    Corsair HS80 RGB wireless mic sounds muffled?

    I just got the HS80s because I was looking for a new wireless headset during cyber monday and I settled with these because I heard only good things about it, especially the mic, but the mic actually sounds kind of muffled and not clear.

    I installed Dolby Atmos, iCUE, tried a bunch of different settings, messed around with microphone properties in settings, and it still sounds the same.

    Is there a fix for this? Every mic test I heard sounded insanely good but this is kind of disappointing.

    Question on HX1200i PSU

    I've had this unit for a few years now (actually I just checked - 8 years now, Nov-25-2016!) and I was wondering if there are any differences between the current HX1200i units now vs then?

    This was the product description at the time: CORSAIR HXi Series HX1200i 1200W 80 PLUS PLATINUM Haswell Ready Full Modular ATX12V & EPS12V SLI and Crossfire Ready Power Supply with C-Link Monitoring and Control

    Thanks!

    (Also, I'm upgrading my system from an X99 to an AMD 7950X, Asus ROG STRIX X870E-E mobo, and an Asus TUF RTX 4070OC video card - will I need a new cable for this card?)

    Why is my hs65 sound terrible?

    I’ve had this headset for months, the audio is great but the mic, according to my friends, and from hearing myself talk, is really substandard compared to the review videos that show it as really crisp. The mic is too quiet, cuts out, and just honestly sounds garbage compared to my friends if you ask me. Are there any other factors that lead to bad mic quality??

    Doesn't Corsair have any replacement stockists within UK?

    I need a replacement headband strap as the faux leather on mine has started to deteriorate.

    I google it - £8.99... yikes but okay. But then my shock horror to find that the postage costs just as much.

    This sucks :(

    Shipping issues and customer service being unreachable

    Editing for clarity: Bought a vengeance pre-built computer on sale during black Friday, shipped originally on the 26th. Didn't even make it past Arkansas, UPS states that corsair mislabeled the package and it was returned to corsair, and also that corsair would have more info.

    I created a ticket on the website and didn't get any response, so I contacted them during service hours using the live chat. As nice as the guy was, he couldn't do anything to help me or even give me any info on if my computer would be sent or what the next steps were for this. He escalated the ticket to a higher level team but still haven't heard anything from them.

    This whole process is really frustrating, doubly so because the computer wasn't cheap, and if it's refunded, I'll be out a few hundred bucks because the model I bought won't be on sale anymore. Corsair customer support is so hard to get ahold of, is there like a phone number I can call that isn't just a voicemail?

    Why Did Corsair Remove the Old K95 with 18 Macros?

    I’ve been a huge fan of the K95 series, especially the older models with the 18 dedicated macros on the side. I love having actual keys for macros, makes things so much easier. I’ve got a big desk setup with 3 monitors and 2 Stream Decks, and macros are a huge part of my workflow.

    But here’s the thing: Why did Corsair stop making those old-school mechanical keyboards with dedicated macros? Those were literally my favorite keyboards.

    I’d pay $300 for an old K95 with 18 macros and Cherry MX Blues. I still have two of them, but they’re the versions with Cherry MX Reds, which I just can’t stand. They’re fine for gaming, but typing on them is a nightmare with all the typos and lack of tactility.

    Anyone else miss the old K95s with dedicated macros?

    Corsair HS80 Max sound isolation

    Hello everybody,

    I am currently looking into buying the Corsair HS80 max and have been wondering if you can still hear your surroundings while wearing the headset or if you are fully isolated from the world around you.

    It would be lovely if somebody who owns the headset could help me out with this question.

    Many thanks in advance!

    PSU compatibility issue?

    Just built a new PC and used a Corsair CX-750M PSU. When attempting to start, the fans turned a bit and stopped. If I put my old PSU in (ATX 650W), it started fine. I assumed it was bad so I replaced it and the same thing happened. I checked the voltages and they were all spot on (except for #14 @11.3V instead of 12). I can't think of anything that would cause a compatability issue with a PSU. Any ideas?

    Anyway to transfer wired Scimitar keybinds/profile to new Wireless Scimitar?

    I just purchased a wireless scimitar in hopes that I could import the profile I have setup for the wired version of the mouse. I have a lot of keybinds I'd like to not have to redo if possible. When I click on the profile in iCue, it doesn't seem to change anything with the new wireless version. Is what I'm trying to do possible? Thanks

    I got the HS80 headset and I have a few questions to make sure I'm getting the most out of it.

    So these are a huge upgrade over what I was previously using which were a $20 pair of JLab airpods.

    I activated the Dolby Atmos and make sure that the device is using that for spatial sound, and installed the Icue software. Just a few questions.

    1. When playing games should the sound configuration for that game be set to 7.1 surround, or should I keep each game at stereo if the option is available. I noticed apex legends set itself at 7.1 surround, and then the other games I played (remnant 2, and stalker 2) didn't have these options available. Not sure if the headset is meant to modify a stereo input to simulated surround, or if it is capable to accepting a 7.1 signal.

    2. In Dolby Atmos it auto selected "game mode". When making custom profiles should I select "sound virtualization" to get the simulated surround to work? The reason I ask is because I saw a previous post where someone mentioned to turn sound virtualization off because the headset does it itself, and if you have it turned on then it double dips into the simulated surround causes it to not sound as good as it should.

    3. Any other advice you have to give is appreciated.

    It sounds great, but anything would sound better than what I was using so I not sure if I'm getting the "best" sound that I can get out of the headset.

    Thank you for taking the time to look at my post! 🫶
