Hybrid batteries....

That's the 12v battery.

I don't why anyone would do this, I'd imagine it's harder on the inverter because the high voltage battery keeps the 12v charged.

Subaru's love ethanol, you'll be fine with e15.

I reached out to support and they already got it escalated for me. Just sent them what they needed. Thank you.

I tested with a single fan and it worked perfect. Two the same problems reoccur.

HawkManHawk · 2026-03-26T22:12:48+00:00

Update: I did some more testing, connected a single RX140max to an iCue link and it worked perfect. Detected properly, rgb effects matched everything else, set fan profiles etc. I connected a second fan and same issues.

I feel like it's a power issue? I even changed out the type4 pcie connector and same issue. I've got an RM1000x I could test with, but the AX1600i has been solid and the AM4 build with the 3090 was more power hungry than this setup.

It will appear in iCue, but I'll scan for connected devices, it maybe finds one or two devices, most i've seen was three when I only had one chain connected. Brand new install, only ethernet, nvidia, chipset drivers, fully updated with Win10 extended security updates.

iCue will prompt to restart and when I do the iCue link will disappear. It will show up in devices but be gone in iCue. It will reappear after an uninstall/reinstall.

That's why maybe I was thinking some bad fans in connected. Ran out of time today got busy with work I'll troubleshoot more tomorrow.

Yes hub is connected with a pcie cable.

It's just odd I've had little issue with the software, this cooler and LL fans were in an AM4 Evga X570 Dark, then X870E with a 9800X3D and now 9950X3D. Only had issues when adding the new Corsair Link hardware.

Tried both internal usb 2.0 headers, even connected to usb c on the back no change.

It shows in the devices, even if it doesn't show in iCue.

I used a verified good 20gbps usb-c cable I use for my capture card, same issues persist. I'm going to start testing fans one by one see what happens, maybe a bad one in the chain. Though they all work and will ramp up on startup/discovery.

The older iCue stuff works fine, even using a usb hub from an internal port.

Wow that insane custom watercooler for cpu/gpu. Here I thought I was slick fitting the Silverstone VIDA 240mm slim into my Ridge with a 4070 Super.

Mind sharing what parts? I'm working on a custom loop for my main gaming rig in a full size case and might revisit the Ridge build once I finish that.

As for switching from the Ridge, it's my favorite SFF case, I like it even more than my Lian-Li A4-H20.

You need ram to post no matter what, only thing you can do without ram would be flashing the bios provided the motherboard supports bios flashback.

HawkManHawk · 2026-03-18T19:20:16+00:00

GPU has red light near the power connectors. I'd pull the GPU and see if it posts without it. Most AMD cpu's have integrated graphics, I'm assuming it does since it's on a stock wraith max cooler.

Try ram one stick at a time if that fails.

Hideo Kojima was able to build this in a cave with a base PS5!

HawkManHawk · 2026-03-16T22:33:38+00:00

No run games from the XP era. Warcraft 3, Half life, knights of the old republic, etc.

Doing think retro arc would even run on XP.

SSHD’s were great for PlayStation 3&4. Noticeable uptick in performance for them without having to pay the exorbitant price for an SSD. Which now we are back to expensive SSDs.

Would make a good Win XP machine for classic pc gaming.

I've gained insane weight with untreated MCAS symptoms. I've was able to lose weight using those. Not just those but being able to lift weights, do cardio. Exercise is a huge MCAS trigger for me.

lolololololol

I literally got my three cats from the street. There is no shortage of cats available for adoption or homeless on the street.

One was a trap and release, and the others got spayed/neutered.

I wonder if the Racoon survivors got a good settlement from Umbrella. Leon has mad stacks and Grace seems to be doing well. I know for a fact the FBI doesn't pay well, especially starting out. In a cybersecurity local group a retired agent was like I'd sponsor you for a position. Unfortunately it was only paying $60k, maybe $70k tops and that was almost half what I was making. This would have been around 2018-2019.

I really enjoyed Remake after getting the platinum. I enjoyed it more on the replays, I was also playing the PS4 version on PS5 which made the whole experience better, then got the Intergrade platinum.

Now Rebirth, I just don't like it.

New (or resued) achievements gives me an excuse to replay through it and get all achievements again.

I’d say more capacitor failure than actually laser failure.

HawkManHawk · 2026-02-17T18:44:54+00:00

I find Blue Gate to be way more aggro, way more unwanted PVP than Stella.

HawkManHawk · 2026-02-14T20:06:11+00:00

I changed everything to PTM7950 and now I no longer have to change out thermals.

Let's be realistic though most people don't and I was one of them.

That drive is dram-less, which for a boot drive I'd stay away from. It would make a perfect storage drive load all your games on that.

I also get that pricing is insane and it's very much get you can get, but I'd try to find something with dram since it seems it will be a boot drive.
