wasted Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Installed this today and its nice to see finally my samsung ssd is detected properly but unfortunately it seems to have broken more than its fixed for me. My cooling temps attached to the cooling node no longer work at all, they all read 0.0 and nothing ive tried changes it. All my fans which previous all worked with custom curves now dont, i have to set them all to max My leds which did work right about 80% of the time now seem to have a mind of there own no matter which setting i use. This release (for me atleast) seems to be a big step backwards. And im really anoyed about the cooling temps after we were told that the cooling node would continue to be supported. I know this is beta but compared to the previous version this is much much worse. Id be interested to hear if others experience these issues with this release p.s ive also found every so often the program freezes, taskman says its still running ok but the program is totally unresponcive and i end up having to kill the task with task manager.

wytnyt Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 updates dont work well with every system due to each unique build best bet is to just roll back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted October 12, 2013 Corsair Employee Share Posted October 12, 2013 Thank you for the feedback Wasted. I would love to hear any sort of bug or error that may occur with this update. For now though, would fully uninstall Link and reinstall with this same revision. I would also recommend reinstalled the previous revision if all else fails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wa3pnt Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I've had the exact opposite experience of Wasted. Running Windows 8, and 2.4.5110 is operating exactly like 2.4.4948 and 2.4.5065. Cooling Node and Lighting Node operational with all devices (fans, probes, leds). The only device still missing for me is a Plextor SSD, but that wasn't visible in the previous versions either. The only "bug" for me is the erroneous CPU temperatures, but it is stated that AMD 6 core CPUs will not be properly reported. AND, with the previous versions, periodically I'd receive the "Corsair Link Stopped Working". This necessitated closing Link, using Task Manager to end the CorsairLINK Hardware Monitor, and then reopening Corsair Link. 2.4.5110 has been running for four days, and has not stopped working.

wasted Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 Ive been trying various different things such as changing usb, leaving the whole thing powered off for hour or so, cleaned out the windows registery and along the way i came across something rather funny. If i change my temp to show in Fahrenheit instead of Celsius they all work perfectly but as soon as i return to Celsius they all go back to 0.0 so who forgot to put in the Celsius equations hehe :laughing: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wa3pnt Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 JOKE Though I doubt it, possibly you have the only CPU made in the USA, and it doesn't do celsius. RodeoGeorge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodeoGeorge lol, or maybe i got the only irish cpu. but seriously the cpu/h80i temps are fine they report correctly probably due to it not being connected to the command unit. The temps im talking about are the thermal sensors that come with the cooling node but as i say it no biggie, I was really just giving feed back rather than complaining. The important temps are reported so i can live with the others being in Fahrenheit untill the next release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wa3pnt Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I had a weird thing happen with the thermal sensors attached to the cooling node. A sensor that I've placed on the North Bridge started showing "0" in Link. It was reading correctly, and the custom curve speeds changed as the temperature changed, but the display for that sensor showed "0". I interchanged two of the probes, and the problem remained with the sensor #4 display. That is, the sensor that showed 0 worked correctly on the sensor 1, 2, or 3 input of the Cooling Node. I uninstalled Link 2.4.5110, re-installed Link 2.4.5110, and the display was back. However after a reboot it returned to "0" for input #4. I uninstalled Link 2.4.5110, and installed Link 2.4.5065, and the problem is resolved. So I'm sticking with 2.4.5065 for now. Oh, and in the event that there might have been a conflict between the Bitfenix Recon Fan Controller running Phoebetria, I uninstalled Phoebetria during the trouble shooting process. Now both Link and Phoebetria are coexisting without any problems. Ah, the joys of complex systems. RodeoGeorge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sensor attached to #4 now shows zero. where it was reporting normally on the previous release. I haven't had the time to try replugging things yet, so will update when I can make the time. Not a major problem, for me 2.4.5110 is an improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellis1793 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 after allot of digging around and allot of frustration later (with my new h100 and corsair link) if i run the 2.4.5110 then the temperature of my h100 rarely shows but any earlier release works fine.(I was using 2.3.4816 and just fund where to download 2.4.5065 that seems to be working just as well for now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellis1793 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 so after trying 2.4.5065 for a wile that one seems to keep adding multiples of everything and picking what one it decides to display the temp on. so I am back to 2.3.4816. wishing the best but I am very close to giving up on having my corsair link work properly.

smorch Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I've owned a Corsair H80i Cooler since August, 2013. Other than having difficulties installing it (cramped case space, and those stiff cooling hoses). Once I got it installed, I must say I was impressed with it's cooling abilities, and I found the Corsair Link software to be a nice bonus. Two days ago I checked to see if a software/firmware update was available, and found that there had been several released since my original version of Corsair Link (my original version was v2.3.4816). So, after searching around, I downloaded the latest release of Corsair Link (v2.4.5110) from this link: http://www.corsair.com/us/hydro-series-h80i-high-performance-liquid-cpu-cooler.html Mind you, the above link mentioned nothing about "how" to properly install the software... the download was just the software executable. So silly me, I just ran the excutable, and during the install I got a BSOD. Long story short, and several BSODs later, I ended up going into safe mode, and was able to uninstall the original version, which by the way, under regular windows uninstall also caused a BSOD. So, I finally got the v2.4.5110 installed. Then when I opened Corsair Link, a number of things were broken. The LED could not be set for temperature ranges. Two new devices were added CPU Activity, and CPU Average Temperature, but the original CPU devices (%, Temperature) were still present, but not working. The fan indicators didn't always work, as well as the temperature. Restarting Corsair Link Hardware monitor from Corsair Link did not work. Frustrated, I did some more investigating and ended up at this forum, and found the link: http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=118617 which lists the latest releases of Corsair Link. And I'm glad I found it because it mentions for several recent versions (not the latest though): "Please Note you must delete any saved Profiles and uninstall the old version and reboot the system before you install the latest software. And some CPU's may not show proper CPU Temp in C-Link application (AMD 6 Core and Intel Haswell CPU's)" So, I followed those instructions and FINALLY got Corsair Link v2.4.5110 working. Everything is working great, except for one odd thing: If I change "Corsair Link -> Options -> Show Temperature in..." from Celsius to Fahrenheit, the Graph continues to display Celsius, but under the System tab, the temperatures do change to Fahrenheit. Complicating things, under the Groups tab, the temperature values are in Celsius, but Fahrenheit degree symbol is appended to each Celsius value! This is not a huge issue for me, since I typical configure the Temperature to display Celsius. But, it is a bug I think with this version (and possible earlier versions?) and should be fixed. I also think the page where the software downloads are found should list the proper procedure for installing new Corsair Link updates (like this forum does). Other than that v2.4.5110 is working great on my system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 there used to be dozens of remnant files left over in the registry when doing an uninstall of link,since then corsair has done a fair job of having most of these being deleted but there are still a few being left over. theres one in particular that stays that i feel may cause problems with future link installs and that is the ''corsairlinkhardwaremonitor.exe'' when i do a uninstall i always make sure this file is also deleted from the registry...

smorch Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Good advice Wytnyt. At first when uninstalling I used a utility called Advanced System Care Ultimate (I used their uninstall utility, which does the same thing as windows uninstall but gives you the option of scanning the registry for any related entries and deleting them), but that did a BSOD initially, so I reverted to regular Windows uninstall (also did a BSOD). I finally got things sorted (going to single user mode and doing an uninstall), and eventually, after the last iteration (deleting the profile files) I was able to again use Advanced System Care Ultimate's uninstall and also delete the registry entries. As I pointed out, all is working EXCEPT the odd Farenheit readings; that is, only the system tab shows correct farenheit temp readings, the Graph tab shows Celsius instead of Farenheit, and the Groups tab is screwy, since it shows Celisius values with a Farenheit temperature indicat ("F degrees"). So, given I removed all registry entries, deleted the profiles, I don't think anything was left around that should screw up the farenheit temps. As I recall it worked under the version I updated from (see earlier post). I could try deleteing the profiles, uninstalling this latest version (and cleaning out the registry entries), and then reinstall the older version I got with my H80i... but I'm not in the mood. I think it might be a bug, but I'm just not in the mood to fault isolate and prove it. It's a minor annoyance; although sometimes I do like to see the temperatures in Farenheit (me living in the US and all, that's the temperature standard here). I'll just have to use my handy temp conversion tool from the web....lol. Cheers :sigh!: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
