I just don't know for how long the discussion of high CPU usage or performance impact will keep having people making excuses for its validity, even when is already scoring articles in journals and YouTube channels. There are several demonstrations that is affecting game performance in the perception of many people, which by the way are Corsair consumers. This is happening on a variety hardware, being old or new, across multiple years, even affecting idling expected behavior of many models, especially related to Ryzen processors. Oh, it's software RGB control, oh, you should minimize to the tray. This seems to me a very "old Apple mentality", that the users are using wrongly. Dear Corsair engineers, I know that software development is hard sometimes (I am a developer too), especially related to optimizations, but you guys should at least engage your community leaders to create a fixed thread to discuss this issue recognizing that is affecting performance, usability, for a variety of people, like discussed in many threads. Claims come from CPU clock behavior, other software performance impact, YouTube stuttering, disk usage, fps drops and more. And this especially glaring when you instead of trying to deliver a superior solution to the services you create, to provide the functionalities people want, for controlling RGB and all the Corsair goodies, you introduce another services that can further exacerbate the perceptual performance impact. Please stop creating excuses to not look this as a problem, or thinking that is good enough, listen to your many consumers that are unhappy for many years with this particular issue. Do not think that those users are annoying, oh this level % usage, you should not worry about, go play your games. Sure, for some people this is not affecting on their usability, but for others are. The speech of that CPU is old is completely lame, to not say untrue to the case shown. So, I wish this community were moving forward with this, but no, stuck on the same arguments you should not think like that, this is your vision. Of course, for the people that are knowledgeable they can provide more concrete evidence, but this issue is your responsibility and should take more seriously, especially now that iCue is aggregating other companies products, like Asus, that also have their own plethora of problems. Sure, the title "iCue or iCancer" is exaggerated, but just shows how frustrated the community is.
