The only reason the component change occurred is government mandates of various countries requiring higher efficiency numbers at low load. Edit: It's a separate issue but, from experience with this build, it appears one cause of HX1000is not showing in up iCUE may be remoting into the machine where iCUE is running. As this can be a little confusing for people, here are various dBa ratings in with real world situations to help describe the various levels.

Which is on the low side for desktop idle, maybe moreso for builds you'd put a 1000 W supply in, but it's not implausible some builds would bounce across that burst threshold where others don't.
