GTXJackBauer Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Any news on the supposed completely new Corsair Link Software (CL4?)? ETA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee Corsair Dustin Posted November 17, 2015 Corsair Employee Share Posted November 17, 2015 The current plan is to launch sometime early next year, which isn't that far away. I can't give any more details than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's unfortunate because that puts me in a bind. I figured we'd know something by now since its been said about it months ago. I need to know that it will work with everything but that is wishful thinking. Would have been great to know or even tested that it actually works as intended or I'll have no choice but to use up lots of funds to purchase a working PWM monitoring and controlling product that isn't so cheap. I've already spent $150+ to the elephant in the room LINK. Now I might be spending just over $300 to get what I exactly purchased here to do 4 years ago to get my water pumps, flow meter, fans, etc to be controlled instead of just being monitored. If you can ask or get your superiors to send over some information, that will ease the pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red-ray Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 The current plan is to launch sometime early next year, which isn't that far away. I can't give any more details than that. Does CL4 correctly implement the Global\Access_CorsairLink named mutex to interlock access to CL hardware? Does it include updated CLCC firmware what addresses any (ideally all) of the issues? Is there a CL4 beta release available for external beta testers please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee Corsair Dustin Posted November 19, 2015 Corsair Employee Share Posted November 19, 2015 Does CL4 correctly implement the Global\Access_CorsairLink named mutex to interlock access to CL hardware? My understanding is that it implements something similar. Does it include updated CLCC firmware what addresses any (ideally all) of the issues? That's a whole separate battle. Is there a CL4 beta release available for external beta testers please? Not yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red-ray Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 My understanding is that it implements something similar. Thank you for the update. For all of CL, AIDA64, HWiNFO and SIV to report CL hardware at the time same time that all need to use the same regime. Looking at http://forum.corsair.com/forums/showthread.php?p=729115 I proposed Global\Access_CorsairLink long belore CL4. Why can't it use this? Again the CL developers need to work with the AIDA64, HWiNFO and SIV developers. As far as I know they are not doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonC Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 So, CL4 is here and I guess that leaves a question hanging. Can SIV now interlock CL hardware access to CL4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dewbak75 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 So, CL4 is here and I guess that leaves a question hanging. Can SIV now interlock CL hardware access to CL4? At this point, I don't even care. CL4 has been just as non-functional on my system as CL3 and most versions of CL2 were. CL4 either crashes immediately upon launch, or it launches but fails to detect ANY hardware whatsoever on my system. I give up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red-ray Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 So, CL4 is here and I guess that leaves a question hanging. Can SIV now interlock CL hardware access to CL4? The simple answer is no :nono:, but things are never simple :[pouts:. Yesterday I received the NDA information I need to implement this :praise:, but because this information is NDA clearly I can't say why SIV is still unable to interlock CL hardware access with CL 4.2.0.162. I am working with Corsair to resolve the issue and hope this will be possible with a future CL4 release :nodding:. AIDA64 and HWiNFO are also currently unable to interlock CL hardware access with CL3/CL4, though all of three of AIDA64, HWiNFO and SIV still happily interlock CL hardware when CL is not active :biggrin:.

red-ray Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 As you can see below I can get CL 4.2.0.162 and SIV to play nicely :sunglasse, but there are technical aspects that need to be addressed :nodding:. In my testing I noted that CL4 reports the incorrect Xeon E5-2696 v2 (Ivy Bridge-EP) package temperature :sigh!:. All of AIDA64, HWiNFO and SIV report the same so I expect CL4 is incorrect. Corsair, Is this a known issue please? I find the CL4 core ordering rather irksome :rant2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could help, but I can't. Mind you, this sounds a bit extreme even for CL. I guess you are confident that the rest of your system is in good order? I thought so!

Thanks, Red-Ray. I rather feared there would be an answer along those lines. I hope you have success with Corsair on resolving this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
