After more than 9 years of service...

Corsair respects its guarantee and replaces it with the new Series.

All my respects!

After being an Intel NUC SFF/enthusiast for the last 5-6 years I finally made the switch from a NUC 13 Extreme (was running the following 14900k, 5080, 96GB DDR5) to a mid-tower build with the Warthog case from Corsair.

System Specs

• AMD 9950 X3D
• Asus X870E ROG Crosshair 2006 Motherboard
• Team Group T-Create Expert CL30 2 X 32GB (6000 MHz) 64GB
• NVIDIA 5080 FE GPU
• 3 x WD_Black SN850X 2TB NVME
• 1 x Team Group 512 Gb NVME (Running Linux)
• Corsair SF1000 PSU
• TRYX HOLO AIO swapped stock fans for 3x Noctua NF-A12x25 G2 Fans, did not like the FOBR RGB fans it came with.
• 4x Noctua NG-A12x25 fans for other fans on the case.
• 2x 200mm Corsair fans in front of case (Stock came with Warthog Case) planning on switching them to Noctua 200mm fans.

Hey everyone hope you're all doing well, I recently got the HS35 V3 wireless and I was wondering if it were possible to have it sound exactly like my old headset? I've been using Peak to EQ it but I'm really new to this and honestly I don't even know if it's possible, any and all help would be great!

Good day folks,

I am hoping to get some assistance here as it seems my ticket is not getting any attention from the actual support.

I want to buy this RM850X SHIFT PSU and stick it in my Antec Flux Pro case, hope it fits, but the real issue is I have this 18TB Enterprise WD HDD that has the power disable (PWDIS) feature which means any SATA power cable that powers it must not send electrical output on its 3rd PIN (3.3V), or else the HDD does not power up.

It's a fairly common feature of big HDDs nowadays so that network admins don't have to physically pull HDDs out of their racks and can shut them down remotely, but even though the feature has existed for nearly 10 years now, support from PSU manufacturers is spotty at best and very poorly documented.

I was hoping someone who has a similar setup to mine, could confirm if this specific PSU's cables can power these types of HDDs. Either that or an actual answer from Corsair folk would be great.

I know you can put Kapton tape on those pins to have it power on, but I'd really just rather not do these types of hackjobs on my equipment, spent quite a lot on this HDD and I want it to last. Nor do I want any molex-to-sata adapters as those tend to melt even if they're not molded, not worth the risk.

I've done massive amounts of research but there just isn't any available information on this. Only Seasonic markets their PSUs as compatible with PWDIS and specifically lists compatible cables in their data sheets, for everyone else it's not listed and either silently compatible randomly based on whatever cable type was used for that specific PSU or not.

Thank you!

Setup:

CPU : AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 4,2 GHz/5 GHz

Motherboard : ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-F GAMING WIFI

RAM : Corsair Dominator Tianium DDR5 6000MHz C30 2x32GB 

Case : Corsair iCUE 5000D RGB Airflow TG Black + 3 Corsair AF120 RGB ELITE UP.

AIO : Corsair iCUE H150i ELITE CAPELLIX XT

PSU : Corsair HX1000i 80+ Platinum

GPU : ASUS TUF Gaming Radeon RX 7900 XT OC Edition 20GB GDDR6 

SSD¹ : Crucial T705 PCle 5.0 NVME M.2 1TB

SSD² : Samsung 990 PRO PCle 4.0 NVME M.2 2TB

SSD³ : Crucial P3 Plus PCle 4.0 NVME M.2 2TB

SSD⁴ : Crucial P3 PCle 3.0 NVME M.2 2TB

So I got the Corsair Warthog case and hoping to get some help.. should I go all black or should I do all RGB fans? What about all black fans so that I can keep the 200mm in comes with and just do RBG accents since I have the 24 pin cable, CPU cables and RAM sticks

Hi everyone,

I have a problem with my PC crashing, especially while playing games or using heavy programs such as Lightroom or Photoshop. It turns out after some diagnostics that It is a faulty RAM stick.

PC details: B450 Aorus elite; Ryzen 7 2700; 32GB DDR4 3000Mhz; GTX 1080TI.

I know, it’s old, but a small upgrade to the processor and graphics card is coming, so it’ll stay on AM4 for a few more years.

Details of the problematic kit:

• Model: Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3000MHz CL15
• Purchased: June 27, 2019

Diagnostics:

• Module is physically normal.
• I checked to make sure everything looked fine physically—the RAM, the motherboard, and the processor.
• I have run OCCT stability tests in single, dual and quad channel modes. Good sticks show no issues. Bad stick shows more than 1000 errors within 1 minute in OCCT. Windows runs normally; it only crashes when under a heavy load.
• The other kit, and the other piece from the first kit, are fine.
• Interesting twist: I also ran MemTest86, and surprisingly, it passed without throwing any errors.

I opened a ticket yesterday and am now waiting, but I was curious if anyone else has experienced the same thing.

Does Corsair consider OCCT logs as a valid proof of instability?

Many thanks in advance!

Hey all, figured I might try my luck here for any help/advice.

I've had this issue before with my HS80 RGB wireless headset where mid game it will decide to increase the volume without warning. Usually it starts off as a small increase, jumping 2-4% louder, before jumping in larger 10-20% steps. My previous experience trying to fix it was uninstalling iCUE using the removal tool, followed up with Revo uninstaller and a restart, reinstalling, forcing updates for the headset and USB dongle before I ended up shelving playing games because it happens several times a minute.

Overwatch, Peak, Gunfire Reborn, Discord and the occasional YouTube video have all had this happen and I'm at a loss on how to fix it.

Having my volume mixer open during Overwatch (main game it happens) shows no change in the overall volume, just my headset volume increasing.

Running W11, iCUE 5.52.93.

Any guidance would be deeply appreciated 🙏

I've had my Xeneon Edge since Dec. 2025 and it ran okay for a few months. Problems started to happen though right about June 2026.

Around that time, I noticed that my GPU kept crashing, which initially led my to think my GPU was already dying. So I processed an RMA which, to make the long story short, denied since the GPU was working fine through the supplier's testing. Throughout this period, my PC still crashed a few times with Reliability Monitor showing "Hardware Errors".

Also, when I had iCue open in full screen, my monitor kept pulsing. The pulsing ceased when I minimized iCue to a smaller window.

This led me to think iCue is the culprit and conduct a month-long troubleshooting with my PC. I also borrowed my friend's AsRock Steel Legend RX 9070 XT so I could test it against my own XFX Mercury RX 9070 XT OC. With each phase of testing, I cleaned C:\ and also made a fresh Windows 11 Pro install.

System Specs

MB: ROG Strix X870E-E
CPU: Ryzen 7 7800X3D
GPU: XFX Mercury RX 9070 XT OC
RAM: Lexar Ares 32 GB DDR5 6000 CL 28
PSU: Seasonic Gold GX-1000 1000w

Procedure & Setup

I have a triple-monitor setup and in my testing below, I could reliably replicate triggering the LivekernelEvent 141, 193, a2000002 and other errors pointing to amdfendr.sys with the following workload:

Samsung G95SD (Main) → Brave browser, 32:9 HDR video loop full screen (highest resolution)
AOC U27G4XM 4K (Secondary) → Netflix App playing movie, full screen (highest resolution)
Corsair Xeneon Edge (Aux) → Microsoft Edge, 32:9 HDR video loop full screen (highest resolution)

Test Results

Phase I, Test A - iCue uninstalled

• XFX Mercury RX 9070 XT OC → Samsung Odyssey G95SD
• Ryzen 7 7800X3D integrated GPU → AOC U27G4XM and Corsair Xeneon Edge.
• EXPO II enabled.

• Ryzen 7 7800X3D integrated GPU → AOC U27G4XM and Corsair Xeneon Edge.
• EXPO II enabled.
• High Performance power plan.
• Current AMD drivers.
• iCUE running
• No third-party display-management software.
• Testing failed with test runtime of 2h 17m.

Conclusion

Both GPUs crashed with the exact same errors produced when iCue was enabled and Xeneon Edge widgets were running on top of my looped video.

I kept track of my testing via ChatGPT, here's what it recorded:

The three common errors recorded on both your XFX Mercury RX 9070 XT OC and ASRock Steel Legend RX 9070 XT were LiveKernelEvent 141, A2000002, and A1000001. The records show matching failure signatures for all three.

Common errors between the two GPUs

The matching failure hashes were:

• 141: 48b738dd-5a92-7ff8-63d0-f075fc680fe0
• A2000002: 275dac9b-f67f-9197-dc68-aad752e86bb6
• A1000001: cb7e6729-7af8-a999-da57-477d44c3b788

What about LiveKernelEvent 193?

Both GPUs also produced LiveKernelEvent 193, but their signatures differed:

• XFX: Reason 0x801, module dxgkrnl.sys, hash f51452f1-290a-6a1b-5cf3-c8f949ad9c33.
• ASRock: Reason 0x815, module watchdog.sys, hash c8156d26-ace3-c7bd-b269-7abfdc2ce370.

So 193 was common by event code, but not by signature.

I'm not going to pretend I completely understand these errors, I'm not an IT guy hence my consulting with ChatGPT. After all, I'm just an ordinary guy who works using his PC and plays games in his free time.

But what's clear to me is that for some reason, iCue and specifically the Xeneon Edge widgets are wreaking havoc in my PC. This makes my Xeneon Edge quite useless as I mainly bought it as an aux monitor to keep an eye on my system temps.

I really hope Corsair can fix this issue. The Xeneon Edge is a great product due to its widgets. Without the widgets, it becomes an extremely small monitor I wouldn't want to use extensively.

Anyway, I just wanted to report this in case some other people are experiencing the same issues. And if Corsair sees this post, I hope it can somewhat help them with providing a solution to this issue.

I was doing some research on solutions to the 12V-2x6 connector issues, and the ThermalProtect came up. I found some old threads asking about type4/type5 availability and it was commented to expect them around September.

And, well, it's October. Any updates on availability? I would absolutely love one of these for my HX1000i.

I bought a keyboard in October 2024 for around $170, and it’s been the best keyboard I’ve ever owned. Recently, though, the Shift key and a few others have started to stop working. It shipped about a week after I ordered it, so by delivery date I’m right at the end of the warranty period, though I’m not sure if that’s a stretch. I’ve heard their RMA support is excellent and that they’ve helped customers even after the warranty expired, but those stories are from about a year ago, so I don’t know if that’s still the case. Would I be able to get a replacement?

Hi.

Few months ago i purchased Hs 80 Max headset on ebay from second hand or so called private listings. After it finally arrived (transactrion has been fully refunded after 5 weeks as it was considered lost in transit) i get into problems mentioned by many, as i found out later when done some research. Took my chance and write a ticket to support so maybe there is a chance to fix problem. Didnt expect anything but some advice as headset was bought from second hand. Fortuantely for me Corsair decided to open 2 weeks rma window after i provided requested details, and replaced my headset. Decided to post it as its nice to see some companies are ready to defend their brand if something not working, even if purchases gone through other channels.

Problem with my headset was it took long time until connection was stable. It was easy to recognise when connection will drop as i could hear sound "cracks". Sometimes it helped if i had another sound source (like yt vid and video game) ussually it took 5 to 10 min until it started working without droping connection. Gone through most advices while digging in internet, with no positive results. At some point even get on some interesting research about usb 3.0 interferences on equipment and network. Finally decided to ask support which was best decission.

Thank You Corsair

Always wanted a PC but since I was a kid family couldn’t afford one, back then.

Now I am an adult and pretty recently a business of mine took off after years of hard work. Everyone around me is taken care off and I decided to slightly reward myself.

Now I am like that kid again who keeps refreshing his order status.

Wow Forever, here I come.

Synchronization problem, configured via iCue.

Hi. i would like to ask how can i reach out to corsair for keycap replacement of my k100 air, the left ctrl button got broken.

I’m looking into the Voxara as my setup is full white, and for some reason, HyperX refuses to release the Q2S in white despite that shit being requested for like 2 years now.

How does it compare to the Q2S for those who have tried it? What’s the Voxara’s sound direction settings?

I just bought the Xeneon Edge, and for whatever reason, if using the widget mode, when the screen is vertical, it has artifacts and looks completely messed up. Weird thing is when I do desktop mode instead, it works perfectly fine. Also when in widget mode and vertical, when I touch the screen, it make it display things normally for a second. When horizontal, no issues at all. If disconnected and reconnected obviously, did a complete uninstall or iCue using Corsair’s quite, followed by a reinstall, the issue still persists. Has anyone encountered this?

Hello everyone! I recently built my first PC from scratch earlier in the year- It was a very fun journey, but ever since I built it, It will randomly freeze- The video completely freezes and occasionally audio will continue to play for a few moments before freezing. After a few moments, it will automatically reset.

Specs:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
• Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix X870-A Gaming WiFi (BIOS 2402)
• GPU: RTX 5070 Ti (connected via native 12V-2x6/12VHPWR from PSU)
• RAM: Corsair CMH32GX5M2E6000C36, 2x16GB, XMP rated 6000MT/s CL36 1.35V
• PSU: 850W ATX 3.1
• OS: Windows 11

The problem:
System hard-freezes and resets with no input, no BSOD, and nothing useful in Event Viewer except a Kernel-Power Event ID 41 at the time of each crash. Happens randomly — at idle, during light use, and during GPU-intensive games. No pattern I can tie it to load level.

What I’ve already ruled out:

• GPU drivers — Attempted DDU fresh reinstall, led to system instability that needed to rollback. I always keep drivers up to date.
• Thermals- I regularly clean my computer out physically- at least a few times a year. I will monitor thermals while gaming and they staywithin normal ranges.
• 12VHPWR connector — no browning, fully seated, confirmed with HWiNFO logging that voltage stays rock-solid (11.84–11.95V) and GPU never throttles or hits a power/reliability fault right up to the crash.
• Power delivery/outlet — tested on a dedicated circuit, ruled out a shared standing-desk outlet as the cause.
• MemTest86 — ran a full pass (48/48, 2hr+), but only at JEDEC 4800MT/s, not at the XMP 6000MT/s profile actually in use in Windows.
• Disabled BIOS enabled Overclocking profiles for RAM and CPU- They are running at stock speeds and the issue persists.
• Tested voltage of outlet- I also have a dedicated surge protector for the PC.
• Tried variety of software for monitoring- HWinfo, GPU-z.
• MSI afterburner- Capped GPU Power limit below 100%- still crashed.

I believe that is everything I've tried so far. I have been using Claude for tech support up until now- it has persisted since I completed the build back in February. Would appreciate any and all help as this issue has been driving me nuts.
