Try the installation as it's in the manual. Not all people have problems with them. If it doesn't work (the fans rattle, whine etc), then RMA the fans and they'll send you new fans. You don't have to send anything back.
While waiting for the RMA, use the motherboard fan headers. BTW, most...
A little update again. I read from the Corsair forums that the new fans are shipping and all affected should RMA and tell that they need the new fans. The new fans will be the same type, except for being PWM vs DC.
Did the RMA and got an email from a customer service rep telling that the new...
Used this to get Battlefield 3 for around 14€ (was already 50% off).
Also noticed at the same time, that the one and only, original Battlefield 1942 is now free in Origin!
Tried it and it works nicely. No expansions though, but who cares.
Some updates from the Corsair forum. The fix for fan whine will be a new set of fans controlled via PWM.
You'll need to RMA them to receive the new fans.
Finally got my H100i up and running. 30min LinX burn shows around 5c drop from my custom wc-loop.
A firmware update fixed the fan rattling sound, but now they whine. Apparently there's a fw update coming soon.
Otherwise I quite like it. Installing was harder than I would've liked, but that has...
Okay, finally got it working with the router first. I guess I'll just have to live with the lower speeds and crappier wlan for now. I'll have to upgrade the router at some point.
Only gettin 10/8 MB/s speeds for now, windows shows networking utilization at 80-95%.
Set the NAS to have a static...
I have 50/10 Mb/s connection. I'm trying to configure it now with the router first, but have a difficult time getting it to be found on the network with dhcp or static ip.
This looks reasonable. Can even a cheap DHCP between the isp and switch still deal the necessary ip's to all clients? I'd still prefer a solution where I don't have to purchase more gear.
I should probably add, that the router is running dd-wrt.
Can't run wires from the router to the switch. Cables run inside walls and don't think it'll work. I'll try working it out like that in a bit, still limited to 10/100 speeds from the router like that.
The reason it's setup like that, is the layout of the apartment.
The switch is in an electronics cabinet in the entry to the apartment. The router is in the living room on the other end of the house.
All devices needing wlan are used in the living room or just next to it. If I put the router in...
