Dicehunter Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Corsair CUE and Corsair Link are causing high idle clocks and high idle voltage on the 1000 series of GPU's when "Prefer Maximum Performance" is selected in the Nvidia control panel. Without CUE or Link open - http://i.imgur.com/YqZ2glm.png With CUE and/or Link open i.e in the system tray - http://i.imgur.com/3kNpHHC.png Could this be to do with some 3D accelerated part of Corsair software ?

Dicehunter Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 Ok tested this again on a completely different machine 6 months later and it's still the same, CUE and Link both cause high idle clocks and volts when either or both are running in the background, When using the "Prefer Maximum Performance" option in the Nvidia control panel without CUE and/or Link running in the background, Core clocks of the 1080 I'm using go down to 200MHz and GPU voltage goes down to around 0.600. If CUE and/or Link are running in the background controlling macros, Lighting of peripherals, Fan speeds etc.... The GPU core clock spikes to 1600MHz and GPU voltage goes up to slightly over 0.800, Any possible solution to this in a future CUE update ? Maybe turn off 3D acceleration when the programs are running in the background ?

vram74 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I've got a similar problem only its with my CPU. When CUE is enabled, my i5 6500 CPU will not throttle down when idle, causing it to run into turbo clocks even with low utilization. My thread is here.

tiessar Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Just thought I'd revive this, having the same problem with the latest version of Link, exit Link and clocks go back down. Uninstalled Link even though I like to look at it every now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
