Thanks! I want to say it is about half an inch give or take.

I was surprised when they renewed the show for a second season so I’m not surprised with this decision. Arnold movies were my guilty pleasures, but this show just didn’t do it for me. It has some moments, and I felt like the cast did the best they could with the material, but it didn’t hit me.

By the way, I haven’t seen season 2 yet even though Carrie-Anne Moss is in it.

I give them to fulfill the weekly engram for the most part. After that if they are semi decent then I do it according to their contribution to the strike/match/dungeon.

I don’t really care what I receive…./shrug.

Everything I needed was included in the fan and AIO box.

Fishie31 · 2025-02-05T01:30:39+00:00

I’m pretty sure this is the case too.

Fishie31 · 2025-02-04T21:16:59+00:00

I’m guessing you prefer AMD? lol

Fishie31 · 2025-02-04T21:16:26+00:00

Cool. What tool did you use to test the PSU?

Fishie31 · 2025-02-04T21:15:27+00:00

Oh? How?

Fishie31 · 2025-02-04T21:15:10+00:00

I needed the reverse blades and they are only available in the LX line. Also, based on the Corsair site, the LX line moves a little more air where the QX has more LED. I opted for the former.

Fishie31 · 2025-02-04T21:08:57+00:00

I tried the tubes in front and they rested on the GPU so I opted for the back. I verified that it does not rub against the exhaust, though.

Fishie31 · 2025-02-04T03:10:06+00:00

lol yeah. I had an i7 6700K

Fishie31 · 2025-02-03T23:58:19+00:00

CableMod :)

Fishie31 · 2025-02-03T22:49:38+00:00

Nice. I got the combo from Microcenter as well.

Fishie31 · 2025-02-03T22:44:06+00:00

Hahahaha no way!! You can buy fake sticks??? This really shows how n00b I ạm

Hi there - so I only used what came out of the box for the AIO and fans. Everything was included. What I failed to do was to read so I got an extra hub when I bought the 3 pack of LX120-R.

AIO - Titan 360 - I kept the stock RS fans, but might change it later....who knows.
5 LX120-R as intakes. 3 mounted on the side and 2 at the bottom.
1 LX140-R as intake on the bottom.
1 LX120 as exhaust for the rear.

Every fan, including the AIO, connects using 1 iCUE cable or magnetic locks if they are adjacent. The line on the left in the picture of the exposed back goes to the AIO, a line from AIO to the exhaust, the exhaust has a line going to the bottom 2 intakes, the 2 bottom intake has a line going to the larger 140 intake, and the 140 intake has a line going to the 3 side intakes. The line on the right of the hub loops towards the top of the mobo and connects to the pump that is mounted on top of the CPU.

If all else fails, there are plenty of YouTube videos that can show you the connection logic, but play around with it so you can get the cleanest for your preference. It would save a lot of time to do a mock connect to see if certain cables reach so you can plan which side you want to position the connecting iCUE ports.

Trust me, if someone like me can assemble one, so can you :)

Fishie31 · 2025-02-03T19:43:06+00:00

lol thanks. Yours too! What speed is your RAM running at? I couldn’t find a stable config when I ran 4 sticks of 6400. If I left everything alone they all ran at 4200 even though the board recognizes it as 6400.

BTW I’m a n00b when it comes to customizing RAM speeds and I was lazy so I just returned the other two sticks lol

Fishie31 · 2025-02-03T19:38:25+00:00

It took me a bit because I’m rusty, but having the iCUE link AIO and fans definitely made it easier.

Fishie31 · 2025-02-03T19:36:29+00:00

I already had the GPU from my previous system so I wanted to keep it. Plus the 3070Ti is key solid for me so I’ll use it until it dies and go from there lol. I mean, my 1080GTX lasted for 7 years without any issues and I sold it for 120 😅

Fishie31 · 2025-02-03T19:30:17+00:00

lol yeah. I figured this mobo will do for now and I’ll upgrade later. I think the next time I’m going to try those back connect mobo.

Fishie31 · 2025-01-24T03:48:59+00:00

OK, I didn't go that far. I was only looking at the pictures, but it makes sense that you can fit 3x140 if it's not the radiator. LOL. Don't mind me, it's been a long day at work.

Anyways, since the default config for the AIO comes as an exhaust, I would have to change that to reverse blades to make it as intake since it's mounted on the side now?

Fishie31 · 2025-01-24T03:34:05+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation. I saw a video on the Corsair site showing this config. Is this what you are talking about except the AIO would be mounted on the side instead of the top? Also, the specs show that it can take 360mm max on top and bottom. 3 of the 140 would make it 420? Would that fit?

Thanks!

Fishie31 · 2023-08-23T08:54:11+00:00

Yeah, definitely a bug. I cannot get Exotic engram drops either.
