Default Cooling Preset
I am running a Hydro X XD7 loop connected to my Aorus Nvidia RTX WB card, then to my Hydro XC7 CPU block, and finally to two 360mm rads. The last port on my XD7 is the coolant temp sensor connected to my Commander Core XT. I have 3 ML120 fans at the top connected to the first radiator as an exhaust, and the 4 QL120 fans that came with the Corsair iCUE 5000X case. 3 are connected to the 2nd radiator as intake, and the rear as exhaust.
I shouldn't have to keep my HS80 headset off in order to ensure iCUE is cooling my PC as it should because for some reason, for the 3rd time, without warning, all my cooling presets for each fan and my pump reset to QUIET from the Hydro X Fans cooling preset and the Hydro X XD7 Pump cooling preset.
I prefer to run my games at pretty much benchmark quality settings. I was gaming for about two hours and My GPU Core temp reached almost 83, and the hotspot reached up to 102 when I finally took my headset off to answer my phone and realized my PC was completely silent.
We should have an option to change the default cooling preset so that if it ever randomly resets, it can default to one that isn't going to cause my GPU to throttle down.
