Hello,
Yesterday I had replaced my storage drive with a larger one. I copied all my data over to the new drive and removed the old drive from my system. I had my H100i's LED to change with temperature from white(30⁰) to blue(40⁰) to red(50⁰). I began to defrag my new hard drive and I noticed that the LED on my H100i was sitting at a nice hot pink color. I thought something my be taxing the CPU and it was heating up (even though I have never seen it change to red before). My CPU was sitting in the lower 30⁰ range and the load was 0.
Corsair Link software reported the LED should be white. So, I changed the setting to just show one color. Red works fine, blue works fine, green...not so much. Turning R and B down all the way and G all the way up yielded black. Okay, looks like an issue with the LED.
After reading through a few similar post on this issue, I figured I'd update the Corsair Link software as there was a new beta version out. Went ahead and deleted my saved profile, removed the old version, deleted the leftover Corsair folder in AppData\Roaming, and installed the new version. Rebooted and installed the beta version. No change, LED is acting up. Powered machine down, and moved the USB cable from the H100i block to a different header on my mobo. No change, same issue. Then I found a new firmware update for my H100i. I am running on 1.0.4 and there is an update to 1.0.7. Went ahead and followed the instructions on updating the firmware and the update process is now hanging on "Status: Bootloader verifying". Its been there for 10 minutes or so now.
First off, any idea on how I can get the firmware out of this state of limbo? And secondly, what can I do about the LED? I've got a nice white, blue theme going on here and I now have a terrible eye-sore of hot pink right in the middle of my mobo.
TIA!
