[Issue with CPU temp]

Hi All,

I am looking for help with my setup, as I have temp issues. I built myself a new comp last year, an i9 with a gforce 3070 in a thermaltake C31 Commander with a Thermaltake TH120 liquid cooler. I got 2x 210mm fans at the front blowing cool air in, 2x 120mm Pure Duos at the top blowing hot air out and the radiator for the cpu cooler at the back.

Resting, my comp sits at around 30C. When I play (mostly Destiny 2) it usually goes to 50someC. But every now and again it goes in the high 90Cs and most of the time my fans run full speed. Minecraft managed to overheat my comp and have it shut off more than once.

Originally I had the fan on the radiator blow air out, but that caused more heat. I flipped it to sucking air in and that worked better, resulting in the temps above. I've never had issues with a liquid CPU cooler like that, been using one from MSI for years prior to this built. What am I doing wrong? I'm at a loss.. 

Appreciate your time in advance.

Cheers

[Aura doesn't recognize controller - Commander C31]

Hey, Tri

My apology for the inconvenience. In order to identify the root cause, I need your help to verify two things: 

1. When you pressed the RGB button for 3 seconds, did you see the light of fans blink twice? 

2. Can we switch back the RGB mode to manual control by long-press the button once again? 

Cheers

Hey

1. Yes, they blink twice, but Armoury crate shows no devices. Reboot did not change that

2. Yes, I can long-press the button once again and switch back to manual control

 

[Aura doesn't recognize controller - Commander C31]

Hi All,

I bought the Commander C31, my first ARGB case. It says it's aura sync ready, so I was looking forward to the lightshow  However.. Something isn't right and I was hoping you could help me figure out what I'm doing wrong. Here is what I got:

 

Commander C31 with 2 big ARGB front fans

CPU Liquid Cooler with ARGB rear fan

2x ARGB fans mounted to the top

 

I daisy chained the CPU cooler and the 2 top fans and connected them to "LED out" on the case controller, as well as the sata power cable from the case controller. All fans are in sync and switch color when I hit the "RGB" button on the case. Yay.

 

Then I connected the 5V 3pin to male from the ARGB 3pin on the mainboard to "M/B in" on the controller. However Armoury Crate does not recognize any ARGB devices. I did some googling and it says that I need to hold the RGB button on the case for 3 seconds to make them controllable by my MB. I did that, pressing the RGB button now doesn't change the color of my fans anymore. However... Armoury Crate still doesn't recognize any devices.

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

Appreciate the help!

 

Cheers
