creos7 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 1) I installed PSU 860i using the USB dongle and I DID see it in the Link Software! I could even control the fan and force it to run when the unit was under low load (just as a test) 2) A day later, I installed H100i, and in the process got rid of the USB dongle (to conserve mobo usb ports), so I plugged the PSU into the H100i extension port, and the H100i USB cable into the same mobo port as the dongle had been into In the Link software I see NO H100i, and now the PSU has its fan and temp always at 0 which is incorrect. Any ideas what's going on? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pathfindercod Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Z87 / Haswell ? If so that's why. They Still have not updated the software to work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creos7 Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 I see, thanks very much. Indeed, I'm 4770k on Asus Hero, Win Pro 8.1. Do you know if there is an ETA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creos7 Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 Actually, why would my CPU matter? This is an independent h/w component that just plugs in via a USB. I would imagine the OS is the only thing that should be relevant? Why is their coupling with the CPU/Mobo?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EightBitRanger Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I recently build my latest desktop consisting of both an H100i and an AX860i. Since my Maximus V Formula motherboard only has two USB headers on it, I plugged the cooler into one and the PSU with Corsair Link dongle into the other. When my H100i showed up in CL but the AX860i didn't, I came on the forums and read that the PSU plugs right into the coolant pump. Either the instructions didn't explain that, or I just missed it. Anyway after I did that, both components showed up in Corsair Link and was able to view/control them. So I plugged in the connector for my case front USB ports to the motherboard USB header where the PSU dongle was previously plugged in, and plugged in my keyboard and mouse into two of the front USB ports. After that, the cooler and power supply no longer showed up in Corsair Link anymore. I tried upgrading to the newest version of Corsair Link, uninstalled and reinstalled the software, and tried swapping the USB headers, nothing worked. It wasn't until I moved my computer to a different spot in the room and plugged the keyboard and mouse into rear USB ports that the cooler and PSU showed up in Corsair Link again. To confirm, I closed the program and moved both keyboard and mouse back to the front USB ports again and reopened Corsair Link again and sure enough the components were gone again. So it seems to me that the USB headers on the motherboard don't provide enough power to run an H100i, an AX860i, a keyboard and a mouse all at the same time for some reason. This might not apply to everyone, but it kind of fixed the problem for me anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reply With Quote. it really isnt a power issue but a confusion of the data being transmitted since at the m/b the ports are basically shared,some devices play together,some do not. i hope i explained it properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creos7 Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 man, i was hoping today as a business day corsair will finally announce the fix... it's really crazy that we can't control anything :( i like corsair but the link software is such a huge part of the reason i went with them... so disappointing.

mz0rz Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Since you are using Windows 8.1 , you must change some value's in the Register. See fix here ! [ame] [/ame] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiggle Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Like mz0rz posted above. This 'fix' will get the Link software up and running. Corsair are working on an update. In the mean time you can run this fix. (Note the values you change. You can restore them back to original values later before running the new updated Link when it arrives.)

creos7 Posted November 22, 2013 Author Share Posted November 22, 2013 i don't want to do that, such hacks tend to cause issues down the line that you CANNOT fix since you'll never remember you did that and won't even occur to you to revert or that it's related. these types of "hack" fixes can have long term subtle issues that just never go away. i will wait for a proper patch. alas, another week with no word from corsair....

creos7 Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share Posted November 24, 2013 Does anyone know what the 6 week promised wait elapses? I read Corsair said the fix should be out in 4-6 weeks but not sure when that statement was made. I realize that is not a firm ETA but still a decent upper-bound guidance. Thanks.

Rolgar Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 There is an article from MS regarding this issue and the fix. And yes the article is dated 22nd of October. Easiest fix is to add one line into the *.inf file of the Software Installation (it does the same as the so called "hack" does = disabling the Advance Powermanagement on the device).

creos7 Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 thanks. if it's that simple why doesn't corsair just release the registry patch? sounds trivial. clearly, it's not THAT Simple, or they are worried about it potentially not working on all devices. either way it's making me think i shouldn't do it. did that workaround come from corsair directly?

Beerdude Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I've done the reg fix and for some odd reason, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. It took 2 reboots for it to work. I then exited Corsair Link and tried it again and it didn't show up. Now it's about 50/50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRE Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 They should really list this known issue under the FAQ's on the product page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creos7 Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 see that's exactly my point. doesn't mean corsair's official fix would be any better but i'd rather wait for it than modifying the registry, as simple as the change may be.

creos7 Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 exactly. all the more reason for me to forgo these solutions and wait for the official fix... which hopefully will come before frigging Christmas!!! /sigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
