I have also just bought a Corsair Commander Pro which has (but could return if there’s a better option): 1x CPU Header (2A 1x AIO/Pump Header (2A 2x Mystic Light RGB 5V headers (might be OpenRGB compatible, the GitLab Readme says it isn’t, but the website says it is…).I would have saved money by returning it to the store but I needed a PC to use while waiting for parts.I am running Windows-on-Linux via KVM with hardware passthrough, and am wondering what the best way to connect all my fans (preferably natively) that would allow control of case fans from CPU, and when the KVM is running from both the CPU and KVM’s GPU. About $150 more for a better computer vs about $300 in parts. Would have been more efficient to buy a different computer with a better thermal solution, better airflow characteristics. I fixed the problem but it required a new motherboard, new case, new power supply, and new memory (not required but might as well). And also set to turn off the case fan whenever the PC is "idle" (monitor off). That's why the case feels ridiculously hot, and thats also why your typical AMD / Intel aftermarket coolers might not work (because they are meant for push pins or for AMD style clip and brackets).Īlso the motherboard temperature sensors don't work very well so this is part of the problem you've observed, combined with no fan control ability. The problem is that the heat sink screws to the metal panel on the case. Even the AMD ones have copper on the CPU contact plate. When I removed the CPU heatsink, I noted that it was cheaply made. The CPU is choked for fresh air and the only air it can get is the hot exhaust from the graphics card, plus heat from the power supply. I believe the case is simply not designed for having a graphics card that can produce 100w of heat, combined with adding a likely Hard disk drive.

I had / have this same computer and same problem (HP gaming PC with GTX 1650 Super and Ryzen 3500).
