  1. Just disable connect, disconnect sound in windows. sorted. lol.
  2. Have you tried heating the PSU with a blow heater for a few seconds first? Something else to try, no idea if it would help in your case.
  3. I think siv estimates the current in amps drawn per channel, but I don't know what the total limit is. Anyway, I've decided to use Link 4 for the LED's at the moment and to just use 40 per channel for now because frankly I'm struggling to fit it all in the case. I'll need to buy some more strips at VAST expense from China if I want to use Siv to control everything with 96 ( or more later I hope) led strips. I might put a long strip along both sides and the back of the desk or maybe 2 in opposite directions for the true pimp look. But my computer already looks like some kind of seedy neon brothel from a dystopian sci-fi future..... EDIT : 4.5 Amps is the SATA 5 Volt current limit apparently, correct me if I'm wrong.
  4. I noticed these LED strips are directional. First time I got lucky, but the second strip didn't work at first because I was starting from the wrong end. The strips have arrows on them. Didn't see that mentioned anywhere before. I played around in SIV with 96 led strips but really 96 led strips are too long to be practical. I had some high density LEDs too and that was about the right length if using 96 LEDs but Corsair link 4 only addresses 40 which is about a foot long. So, I too am hoping Corsair allow more LEDs in firmware, so that high density strips are more practical. I like the parallel wiring mentioned above, but I think we need to watch the current draw. Is there a reachable current limit per channel? If we are powering our Node Pros or link Commander Pros via SATA?
