Yep, if all fans are running it's likely that the cooler has failed:
Pump has failed
Air trapped in pump head
Liquid has evaporated
Bad mounting
I'd say the pump failing is most likely.
Very true, but I like shiny new things.... :P Most of my data on the SSDs is just software and games, that can be reinstalled. Any critical data is usually cloud based, so backed up in that regard.
Hope you didn't blast the fans with the full force of the compressed air! you could damage the bearings. Always hold the fans with a finger when give them a dusting. I wonder if might be the GPU fan, and the sound comes as the fans start to spin up from 0%? Would explain why it's not a a...
Yeah, if you disconnect the power and data cables from the HDD the system will still boot as the OS is on your SSD. And if the noise disappears, you have your culprit.
Didn't release iCUE had moved to v5. Interesting to read the release notes, they've finally responded to it being a 4GB install and now it's modular, so it only installs components you need. E.g. if you only have a Corsair keyboard, it will just install the components for that keyboard. That's a...
"but I don't use it currently as the LCD screen periodically glitches and stops displaying things (in the case above, the coolant temperature)" - You should raise this with PCS. The AIO is not cheap, you should expect it to work fully.
For the RGB when PC is off, try these:
In the UEFI BIOS...
Depends on the case I guess. You could order additional fans but if the case has space available for them and the fans that come with case, they will just add them as additional fans. For example, the 5000X has 1 rear fan, 3 top, 3 side and 3 front, but only comes with 3 fans. You could place...
So the two fans on the radiator are showing the correct colour based on the selected colour pattern in iCUE, but the pump does not, is that correct? Sounds like one of the LEDs on pump is not working, for example, the blue led might not be functioning, which means that colours are not displayed...
If it’s still under warranty suggest contact PCS for support and possible RMA. All the articles I’ve read with similar symptoms seemed to point at a hardware failure.
Probably incorrect paperwork. The "Northern Ireland Protocol" means that goods coming from UK to NI need to be treated in similar manner as if they were going to EU. Politics, etc but it does result in delays and additional paperwork. It shouldn't have resulted in any additional fees to the OP...
Could have been damaged in transit post testing, could have failed after they tested it, it might be a software issue, etc. These things happen. If they didn't, no one would need a warranty.
It's only a scam if PCS don't give you what you're entitled to by consumer law: repair, refund or...
