Corsair Link 2 Beta v2.0.15

bee144 · #1 07-26-2012, 09:04 PM

Has anyone tried the link from the 1200i downloads section???

Edit: Current firmware on page 3 allows for devices to be controlled in Corsair Link 2.0.16 Beta.

Yes it worked for me, are you having a problem?

I haven't tried it yet as I wasn't sure if I should wait till the 1200i is released. I'll go ahead and check it out though.

Should I uninstall Link 1.25 first? Thanks!

So far not liking it. Not as easy to use. Back to the old one for me.

I installed it but it didn't detect my Corsair link nor my H100 at all. I uninstalled Corsair Link first, rebooted and then installed Corsair Link 2 and rebooted. Went back to Corsair Link and working just fine. Did I miss a step somewhere???

is the 1200I only power supply that can be controlled by the link?

Considering it's their only digital power supply so far, yes :)

If you guys use it and play around with it, please post your comments here.

Please uninstall any older version of Link before installing the new beta.
http://www.corsair.com/media/cms/dri...all_2.0.16.zip

This has been tested extensively with the PSUs, and should offer the same functionality as V1 for other devices.

Since this is a beta test, we'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions. We're still working on V2, but from the beginning we were trying to incorporate a lot more of your suggestions and compatibility concerns, as well as stability.

Thanks.

Please note:

Can't get it to work at all. Does not detect my H100 and thus, no control. The Corsair Link 1.27 installed again and everything is working fine.

I uninstalled the old version of the link and replaced it with this. Upon starting up, I noticed it did not detect the following:

-The commander
-The lighting node
-The cooling node
-The proper temps for the Caviar Black. (It was spotty at best before)
-Update Firmware doesn't launch no does check for updates (These likely need to detect the presence of the commander/either node to work I presume?)

So basically it turned my Link into a big brick :/

It is also impossible to distinguish which drives are which. How does the commander decide 1, 2, 3, 4, etc..... ? This is may be a moot point though as I don't believe the the ******** III/III Max IOPS/IV SSDs have T sensors in them anyway so whatever temp matches the HWiNFO64 is the caviar black and the others are just faulty readings.

The numbers in the Red circle indicate which group the device is in.

I know. What I meant was how does it decide HDD1, 2, 3, etc..., I should have been more clear about that.

To add to the previous list:

-No option to run on startup and consequently to minimize to the system tray automatically (missing from the previous version of the software as well.)
-Does not detect the H100

Feedback: v 2.0.15 Beta

Likes:

1. Interface looks MUCH better. Like the light vs dark and font color choices.
2. Like the snap to grid.
3. Fan device icon is nice as are the other device icons. Improvement overall.
4. Like the way the Panels autohide or can be pinned open.

Needs work:

1. Not all devices detected (H100, Commander Unit, Light Unit, Fan Unit)
2. Upon closing and reopening software, devices shift position on diagram.
3. Would like to see the names of the available cases when selecting an alternate case photo (So I know what I might like to purchase next :-)
4. Would like to see a smaller grid pattern for better location of devices.

That's it for now. Looking forward to next beta release.

Needs an option to scroll through the graphs and through the groups page instead of having to use a scroll bar. All mice have scroll wheels these days, really it's basic functionality. I also agree that the names of the cases would have been nice, maybe a drop down list?

Keep the aesthetic. It's leagues above what the old interface had (I'm using corsair dark).
