    PCSPECIALIST Wont start

    Ok, points towards it not POSTing, so I'd try checking all the connections, see if that makes a difference. Then I'd try removing both the drives, one stick of RAM, and see if that will let you post at least. Try swapping RAM stick and move between the four slots too. Any LEDS lighting on the...

    PCSPECIALIST Wont start

    Any beeps from it when starting? Do you get any display output?

    PCSPECIALIST Wont start

    So if it's not started when touching the jumpers, it's either a dead MB or dead PSU. Check that all cables to MB are fully inserted, 24 pin, CPU power, etc. If they're all connected, I'd lean towards a MB issue

    PCSPECIALIST Wont start

    Try turning off the PSU at the back for 30 secs, then turn back on. Use a screw driver to jump the power button connectors to start it

    Just be happy that was the issue, and it wasn't something bigger. Quick and cheap fix!

    PCSPECIALIST Is the noise normal for iCUE H100i?

    I have a liquid freezer II 360, very happy with it, found it quieter that the Corsair H150i it replaced, particularly the pump. Will a 420 fit that case? NM, the XL is a big boi and will happily take a 420 or even a 480 rad it seems

    PCSPECIALIST Is the noise normal for iCUE H100i?

    I agree with sck, not a optimal setup of aio, case, fans etc. The 12900 would be a toasty CPU if you're running it at 100% load, although load would be lower if gaming at 1440. I'd say the GPU is probably a source of noise when gaming, so worth checking fan curves for it and case fans to get a...

    PCSPECIALIST 1 of 2 CPU fans are no longer spinning

    Yep, the two AIO fans on the top of the case, one is spinning the other is not. I'd assume PCS connected both fans to a splitter and then to the CPU_FAN header, so hopefully it's a case that one of them has shaken loose from the splitter.

    PCSPECIALIST 1 of 2 CPU fans are no longer spinning

    Don't think there's a need to remove the GPU, but take off the side panel and see if you can trace the cables from the non working fan back to where they connect to either a splitter cable, or to the motherboard. It could be a connection came loose (ideal, easy fix) or the bearing on the fan has...

    PCSPECIALIST Any major updates around the corner?

    Not entirely correct, 14th Gen will be on desktop CPUs, it's just a refresh of Raptor Lake. I think you were confusing it with news that Meteor Lake will be mobile only.

    PCSPECIALIST Corsair 5000D Airflow Build

    ah ok, the top fans are in a tray rather than part of an AIO sandwich, got it. thanks

    PCSPECIALIST Corsair 5000D Airflow Build

    I'd also what to be sure that a top mounted push/pull AIO doesn't have clearance issues with RAM or VRMs on the motherboard, that's a thick rad combo.

    PCSPECIALIST Windows 11 Install, best practice?

    Understandable, had similar issues when I had Corsair devices in my build, since replaced.

    PCSPECIALIST Windows 11 Install, best practice?

    OpenRGB can be hit and miss, it depends how how well your devices are supported. For me, it's been rock solid. It's always worth trying the "pipeline" version of it rather than the stable version, as they release almost daily fixes and updates. For example 0.9 was released on 10th July, there's...

    PCSPECIALIST Storage Drive Options for Gaming & Documents

    I’d go 500GB/2TB. My windows and applications would fit on a 250GB drive easily, so 500GB gives decent headroom. Have the OS drive as fast as you can, and if budget stretches to it, a fast Gen4 drive too. But think 1 TB games drive is verging on being too small these days with larger games...

    PCSPECIALIST One of my Fans has Suddenly Started to be very Noisy

    Do NOT cut cable. You will void warranty if you do. You need to trace the cable back from fan like I said and disconnect it.

    PCSPECIALIST One of my Fans has Suddenly Started to be very Noisy

    I’m assuming it’s a front fan btw.

    PCSPECIALIST One of my Fans has Suddenly Started to be very Noisy

    If fan is connected to a Commander core, it’s controlled via iCUE, not bios. If it’s connected to fan header on motherboard I suspect it’s done so using a splitter with the other two fans attached. So if you set the fan header to 0 rpm in bios, all three fans will stop.
