This is another way to do it ... setting the header to PWM mode does supply the constant 12V of power. The PWM signal is ignored. I do that because on ICUE appears a section where it sais that when 45ºC are reached the leds lights of the H100iv2 turn red. In my case, would it be normal exceed 45ºC on the cooler temp without being harmful? If that is it, I would adjust the curve to make it less agressive, so when I play those games it could reach more than 45ºC without the fans being that noisy. So if 39C is your typical baseline coolant temperature at idle, set that to a comfortable fan speed. Start to ramp it up to moderate levels from +3-6C and then put a high speed flourish around 50C to let you know unequivocally things are getting hot without the need to stare at the software.
About the room temp issue, I live in Spain, and all of these problems have been happening this summer, but now, that the autumn is coming, the temperature is decreasing, so my room is not that excessively hot anymore and due to that I think the problem is solved. Again we see the new cooler’s Performance mode tying the older cooler’s Quiet mode, but at lower noise levels. That is a big win, folks! And if you’d prefer, you can always switch into Quiet mode, and get excellent results with around the same noise level as the average air cooler. In case you needed any reminder on this point, the older cooler’s noise level at load was simply ridiculous. If you wanted to show off your shiny new build to your friends, its 54.5dB noise level would leave them thinking your PC was on its last legs. There’s no other way to say this: the older H100i sounded broken at load.We used our high-end test platform to test the coolers, which consists of the following components: CL create a few random problems in the system like 2nd HDD not recognized unless restarting pc till is ok, some usb devices not recognized unless restarting till is ok. The fan installation can be done in multiple ways, but by default we would recommend having the fans mounted on the bottom of the unit exhausting air up through the radiator towards the outside of the case. If your system is already set up to have sufficient exhaust, then you can experiment with mounting the fans on top of the radiator where they can push cooler air from outside of the case down through the radiator. If you mount the radiator with the fans on the bottom, then it might be easiest to mount the fans to the radiator before installing the radiator into the case, which is what I did for this installation.
There may be legitimate or uncontrollable reasons your coolant is at 40C without load, but this is what we need to focus on. For now, you can get around the max speed by creating a custom curve as suggested originally. Those will not jump to 100% when you hit 40.usb sometimes does not recognize CL ...must restarting pc till it fix it. (not worthing to change header, it does not solve anything and may mess it up more)
The H100i v2 is a great CPU cooler for users who want to keep their components cool and stable. It’s a little more expensive than other options, but the performance it provides makes it worth it. No, the H100i v2 RGB is not compatible with Beat Saber.”}}]} Frequently Asked Questions How long does Corsair H100i v2 last?Advanced SP120L PWM fans: Unlike conventional case fans, our SP120L fans are custom-designed to provide high static pressure for direct installation against radiators, and the fan blades are specifically curved for optimum air delivery with little noise. Because they’re PWM-controlled, you may adjust the fan speed to get the best balance of performance and noise. There is no specific fail point for the cooler. It's certainly not 40-45C. The rubber is rated for more than 100C+ and obviously we won't be melting plastic or metal. The only real vulnerable part might be the sealant/glue exposed to long term high coolant levels (55-70C+). However, all of this is mostly a moot point. On any recent processor, you are probably going to reach your CPU temp limits with a coolant temp of 50C -- or at least get uncomfortably close.
Great Deal
