White FRAME 4000D | Maximum Airflow

>Thirteen fans in a mid tower case may sound outrageous, but not so much for those who want to be able to maximize airflow in their ATX case. With this many fans, you'll be able to achieve more than sufficient cooling but allow your PC build to run generally quieter as the fans won't need to ramp up as much.

• Case: FRAME 4000D WOOD RS - White/Oak
• Fans: iCUE LINK LX120 RGB & LX120-R
• PSU: HX1200i SHIFT
• Cooling: iCUE LINK TITAN 360 RX LCD

• GPU: GIGABYTE AORUS RTX 5080 MASTER ICE
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9900X

What is the CORSAIR ThermalProtect 12V-2x6 Cable?

>The CORSAIR ThermalProtect 12V-2x6 cable is designed to power and protect modern GPUs. The cable is 650mm long and compatible with any GPU and power supply featuring a native 12V-2x6 connector. It features new technology from CORSAIR called ThermalProtect, which is OTP for the cable itself. This is a new technology we’ve developed to protect GPUs from taking damage as a result of the cable getting too hot.

>This is distinct from the OTP already found in all CORSAIR PSUs as that OTP protects the power supply itself from getting too hot. the ThermalProtect cable simply provides this protection for the cable as well. This has the nice side effect of making this cable compatible with any brand of PSU.

How does the CORSAIR ThermalProtect 12V-2x6 Cable work?

>This cable features new hardware that is embedded on the cable itself in a cable comb near the GPU side. It connects to the two wires that connect to the GPU connector sense pins (sense0, sense1), which is the row of four pins above the 12 pins used for power.

>ThermalProtect monitors the cable’s temperature using hardware inside the cable comb located 30mm from the GPU connection. If that temperature exceeds 65°C, the OTP activates which sends a signal via those sense pins to tell the GPU to shut down to prevent any potential damage. This entire process takes place in milliseconds, so the effects are effectively instant.

>On a 12V-2x6 connection, there are two sense pins that let the GPU determine how much power is available. On the CORSAIR ThermalProtect PCIe 5.1 12V-2x6 cable, that amount of power is 600W, which is the maximum available using this interface.

You asked, we answered: XENEON EDGE supports custom widgets! 🥳

For those not in the know...

❓ What IS the XENEON EDGE?

>The XENEON EDGE is more than a small display beside your main monitor. It can act as a customizable dashboard for system stats, media controls, and everyday shortcuts. Widgets are what make that possible.

Widgets let you shape the XENEON EDGE around the information and controls you actually use. You can keep hardware stats in view, manage media playback, or add a clock that fits your setup.

❓ What Are Widgets on the XENEON EDGE?

>Widgets are compact apps that appear on the XENEON EDGE while iCUE is running. Each one either shows a specific piece of information or gives you quick access to a function, whether that's sensor data, a clock, media controls, or web content. You manage them through iCUE, where you choose which widgets appear, adjust how they look, and arrange them on screen.
