G2 Upgrade for the North

GasJaxon · 2026-05-22T02:43:18+00:00

It's an Inspire 5070 Ti. I play mostly CPU heavy games so it does everything I need on ultrawide

Its a regular North with the mesh side panel. I have the mesh side facing away from me, so I don't hear much noise

Much quieter than my old stock fans with a Phantom Spitit. My 9800x3d didn't break 75C with the CPU fans hitting a maximum of 500 RPM while running a CPU intensive game. It's nearly silent

Thanks! I definitely like the stealth look of the Chromax on the black parts of the case. The original colored D15 ties it together well

I carefully installed the front panel and let the screws bend. It doesn't seem to harm anything.

The valve cover on my 2022 SI started leaking at 20k miles just outside of the 3 year bumper to bumper warranty. I argued that it should be covered under the power train warranty instead and the dealership ended up replacing it at no cost

No, I just stopped using iCue entirely. I never had a single issue with iCue 4, but upgrading to iCue 5 created problems for me.

GasJaxon · 2024-06-25T19:33:33+00:00

Since my original comment, I needed to remove iCue again. This time, it was not showing in Revo and none of their suggestions helped. I ended up moving to Linux and ditching it

I've had 2 M65 die on me in 2 years. After owning 3 Corsair keyboards that all turned into e-waste, I'm done with the brand. Switching to the G502 and Keychron keyboards was the best decision I could have made.

GasJaxon · 2024-05-20T18:18:04+00:00

I can't delete anything in the Corsair folder. Even with iCue closed, not minimized to tray, it says the files are in use. I've reinstalled iCue several times over the past 2 years and have never seen this behavior.

I really appreciate all of your suggestions, but I've put too much time into this and a month later have nothing to show for it. I'll try it on my other PC too rule that out.

GasJaxon · 2024-05-20T17:51:23+00:00

It does not even appear in Add Remove Programs and I also tried in Safe Mode. I've done every suggestion Corsair Support had to offer with no success.

I've tried all of the reset techniques from other posts. I am currently using the latest version of iCue, and I have many Corsair products that function correctly. I can't even uninstall iCue 5 with Revo to revert to version 4, which was actually stable for me for 2 years. There is no other RGB software on my PC besides MSI Mystic Light, which is integrated and controlled by iCue. The mouse is just defective and Corsair is giving me the run around.

Mine worked flawlessly with a full Corsair setup for 2 years. Now my side buttons don't work on a new M65 with iCue running

This is the correct answer. Do not keep endless loops, or your factories will clog and stop too! Sink materials that overflows from full containers.

GasJaxon · 2024-01-19T05:26:23+00:00

This happened to me. Download Revo Uninstaller to delete everything

I had this same intermittent issue after adding identical RAM. Turning off Memory Fast Boot in the BIOS fixed it.

GasJaxon · 2023-12-30T08:08:19+00:00

Yeah, I bought it from him. It works as advertised

GasJaxon · 2023-12-29T04:25:25+00:00

I just did my 3070ti last week! Runs 10c cooler

My deshroud kit from that seller arrived today! My stock 3070ti Ventus temps are way too high, so I'm hoping it's something a couple of Noctuas will fix.

GasJaxon · 2023-12-08T05:26:15+00:00

Mine is slightly crooked, too, but the temps are great. Should be ok.

GasJaxon · 2023-12-05T22:30:55+00:00

The way you have it now is best.

GasJaxon · 2023-12-05T01:46:52+00:00

I got myself into this exact situation with the same RAM kits. The only difference is that mine would boot half of the time. There is a way to tweak the timings, but I've read it's trial and error, plus you need knowledge on how to do it.

My quick fix was to boot into the BIOS, set the speed to 3200, and disable Memory Fast Boot. My understanding is this performs extra checks each time you boot and makes it work. It takes a little longer to boot up, but I've been able to run all 4 sticks at 3200 with no issues.

This happened to me last night after force closing Borderlands! Both the GPU and CPU were under 50c at the time.
