@Plec @orbitalwalsh I don’t like waiting haha
I ordered the ASUS ROG Ryujin Performance AIO CPU Liquid Cooler with OLED Display - 360mm
And got 2 sp120 fans for the top of the case. (Hopefully I can find 2 more fan sockets on the mobo....

would have gone for the Aorus, keeping it together with one software rather then two . Also believe Aorus unit is slightly better along with Nzxt/Corsair flagships

Oled is tiny to aorus's if that's your thing etc

Cosmic182 · 6 Oct 2020 at 17:47

@orbitalwalsh should I cancel the ASUS and get the Aorus? Just means sending the ASUS back when it arrives tomorrow (which is no problem)

EDIT

ordered the Aorus

thanks @orbitalwalsh. Will send the ASUS back tomorrow.

This would be the main bonus - both have an insane amount of cables coming out of the sink/pump due to the RGB/LCD.

You realise you will technically own ~£700 worth of coolers until you start returns?!

That has to be some kind of record. You should line them up and take a pic for prosperity.

Yep, if she's like my wife she just see's the techy box and her eyes glaze over - you'll be safe.

/shouts and waves at Mrs Cosmic182

That said - my wife took interest in her new office machine i built for remote working. For an Ofice 365 machine, for some reason, it needed a hefty RTX 2070 to compliment the already over specced 3700X?!?

*I lost my study @orbitalwalsh -- i have to share and i'm watching my wife's build being used primarily for Office and Fortnite. I could have merged a 3200G with a Duplo brick for that.

@Plec haha!! Shhhh :eek:

@orbitalwalsh

ok guys, got the Aorus aio 360 installed and working a treat inc temps

removed the 3 sp120 fans from the front and used the Aorus fans. However, my 3 remaining sp120 fans all work great and light up, but they won’t colour change? Just stuck on white (where as before I could change the colour with the case buttons)

Any ideas what May fix?

thanks chaps

ps @Plec, how’s your youngster doing?

Cinebench (big improvement)

Those idle temps look good too, and nice improvement with max temps - gaming temps would be interesting...

Slowly on the mend, thanks - i suspect it was flu. Oldest is hopefully back at school tomorrow - where they've had a Covid outbreak, Yay!

orbitalwalsh · 7 Oct 2020 at 19:53

Need to wire the. Up how you found them, but just in their new position .

Aorus fans should be attached to mobo headers

Pump set to max ? Should be quiet - ish

Cosmic182 · 7 Oct 2020 at 20:37

@orbitalwalsh

Yep, pump is set to max and quiet-ish it is. All is ruinning great.

Yep, wired up the same way. Just the 3 SP120 wont change ( on the case) from the white RGB. (I havent used the original 3 front case fans) I used the 3 extra I bought originally.

Might be slightly different and will only work with Corsair software

Cosmic182 · 7 Oct 2020 at 21:04

@orbitalwalsh i might have to remove the 3 sp120 fans and re do them. Funnily enough CUE software won’t pickup any of the sp120 fans :/ just weird how the case buttons won’t change the rgb.

Try using the 3 original RGB fans from the front that's now removed in the hub .

Corsair wiring if different from most argb fans which is a pain. MSI boards have to use a £5 cable to connect to Corsair Hub boxes

Cosmic182 · 7 Oct 2020 at 21:30

@orbitalwalsh damn, yep that is the problem. Just hooked one of the original 3 up and bam! It works

just a PITA that I will have to undo some zip ties and ruin my neat cable organisation.

thanks guys

Sorry Cosmic182 - i had assumed you copied the YouTube clip.

You will certainly be well versed with the internals of your computer - you're fast becoming quite the niche expert in a vert short amount of time. Again, admire your pragmatism - no moaning, just crack on and get it sorted.

Plec · 7 Oct 2020 at 21:38

/off topic

@orbitalwalsh - did you like the 4000D build example i linked you to, has it made you more determined on your choice?

Cosmic182 · 8 Oct 2020 at 10:17

@Plec don’t be sorry my friend! I should have been a bit more clear. Woke up at 530am and decided to change the fans over! Got it all sorted and it’s great now.

attched pic...

It’s a shame the Corsair sp120 rag don’t match the Aorus but I believe Aorus don’t sell the fans individually so these will do.

can’t get the ICUE software to add the sp120 fans though.

thanks @Plec @orbitalwalsh

orbitalwalsh · 8 Oct 2020 at 11:05

looks good. when you bought the SP fans... by themselves or in a pack ?

believe they need their own controller maybe and cant work off the cases hub... could be wrong

****************

Which controller came with the case ???

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Corsair SP RGB Fan LED Controller= £10.99
1 x Corsair RGB Fan Hub Controller - Black= £11.99

Total: £25.72 (includes shipping: £2.74)

also if i recall... this case came out when ARGB hadn't been done bar only NZXT with its own controller. ARGB came after this case. Stock fans might only be able to display soliid colours to all LEDs , whilst the SP ARGB fans you've bought can address each LED with different colours

so yeah....

Commander Pro might work

Had Corsair Elite AIO been available, would have nudged in that direction as it comees with the command pro

Cosmic182 · 8 Oct 2020 at 12:01

@orbitalwalsh

both those controllers in your basket are installed in the case....

they change colour great now, (don’t match Aorus unfortunately) just weird how they don’t show up in ICUE

would you recommend removing the old controller and getting one of the pro controllers? Will this then make the rgb work within ICUE?

orbitalwalsh · 8 Oct 2020 at 14:02

The new SP fans should worth with iCue , not sure if the old ones will just being RGB and not ARGB.

Did the controller work with iCue before installing new fans /AIO ?
