Well shoot, yeah the 6700 has been bottlenecking here and there. Most games I play are fine with it though. Just haven't upgraded it yet as the opportunity for GPU upgrade presented itself first. Anyways, fair enough, thanks for the input. Guess I'll just deal with it until I can afford another...

Hi all, I'll get right to it. I recently upgraded to a 6800XT, works great, however I've noticed one issue. When I shut down my PC then turn it back on it'll show the motherboard splash screen for a millisecond then boot straight to BIOS, then after I exit BIOS it'll boot to windows like...

I did have to RMA my previous X61 for pump issues as well. Though I find it strange that manually forcing the fan speed in CAM doesn't change it. I suppose it could be a CAM bug, as you mentioned it is very buggy. I'll fiddle with it like you suggest, might knock something into place...

I see, I'll contact NZXT support and see if they can do anything. If not I guess I might start looking into a new cooler. I totally get you when it comes to NZXT, they do tend to be rather hit or miss, especially when it comes to CAM. Edit: No I haven't checked the pump RPM ever. I was mostly...

It's been almost three years at this point, I suppose it could be failing. Do coolers have a short lifespan generally?

Well, I followed your guide for installation of windows, everything is working fine on that front now. However, the problem with the cooler has persisted. Before you ask, yes I am absolutely certain that everything is plugged in properly. I have checked multiple times, this is approbated by the...

Sorry for the slow response, forgot to refresh the page. Yes, ideally the Corsair 120GB is what I'd want to install windows on. But I'm not sure if that's a good idea anymore considering it's track record for reliability. I just ordered a Intel 660p (1TB) so I plan on installing on that once it...

CPU: i7 6700k Mobo: MSI Z170A Krait Gaming 3X GPU: GTX 1070 RAM: 32GB (4x 8GB) Storage: Boot Drive (the reporting no such partition): Corsair MP300 120GB (Approx. 7 months old) Secondary SSD (the one with the windows boot manager on it for some reason): Samsung 860 EVO 1TB (Approx. 1 month old)...

Well... This has spiraled very steeply. So I reset the BIOS as instructed, but after selecting (what I thought) was the correct boot drive (turns out there was a windows boot manager on my secondary SSD for some reason) I got an error saying there was a missing device (code: 0xc000000e) and also...

I'm having an issue with my NZXT X61, I've had some issues previously, but none related to this. This time (after a case swap, everything is plugged in correctly), no matter what I set the fan speed percentage to in the CAM software the fans continue to run at 1200-1350 RPM. It's rather annoying...

Apologies for the delayed response, I had forgotten about this thread. It seems that the restoration of default didn't work, so I suppose I'm in store for a fresh windows install. Ah well, I was in for one soon anyways.

Thanks for the reply! I'll try the balanced plan default trick to see if it'll work, but I may be in for a fresh windows install by the looks of things. :/

Hi, I've been having this issue on multiple systems for quite awhile now. Google turned up nothing but unhelpful Microsoft support. The long and short of it is that the monitors on both my PC and another in the house won't go to sleep at the time set in the Power & Sleep setting. The issue was...
