I'm researching this now. I'm in the same boat. Unfortunately I drank a lot of the Corsair RGB kool-aid and now I'm in for an expensive swap-out. - K70 Rapidfire Keyboard - Dark Core RGB Mouse - Corsair RAM - Corsair LL fans and controller including argb adapter to control case RGB strips I have some old ThermalTake Riing Plus fans, but they don't offer the same capabilities as the Corsair products do. I absolutely love the quality of the hardware from Corsair. The keyboard and mouse are fantastic. Even the capabilities of the software I like. I just can't take that the software puts unnecessary load on my CPU causing more power consumption and heat at idle. It's truly too bad that their software has this side effect in it and they refuse to acknowledge it or resolve it. They're losing a customer in me, and obviously others.

I was having the same problem after the latest Windows 10 update. My Lighting Node Pro was not seen in iCUE. I was able to fix it by opening my Device Manager, finding the Lighting Node Pro in my list of devices, right-clicking on it and telling Windows to Uninstall the device. I also selected the option to remove the drivers when uninstalling. After it completed I unplugged the USB cable for the Lighting Node Pro, waited 10 seconds, then plugged it back in again. It was detected and started working immediately after this. Didn't have to reboot or re-install software. I'm guessing the Windows update had some sort of generic USB driver that it installed for the Lighting Node Pro instead of just using the existing one from Corsair. Hope this helps.

Where can I find these settings in HWInfo64? I looked and don't see them. Maybe I'm just not looking in the right spot.

Please, for the love of god, fix the issue of iCUE causing the Ryzen 3000 CPU's to constantly boost.

Nope. I've tried. I really really hope Corsair fixes this ****. I've finally gotten the rest of my new Ryzen 3900X system ironed out. This is the last thing that's causing an issue. Turning off the Corsair service doesn't help me. It's the actual program running in the system tray that causes issues with my CPU. I kill that and everything is fine. But then my headset and profiles don't work. I'm starting to see why people are so frustrated with Corsair. Great products, **** utilities to manage them. I've started hunting around for alternative brands, but at this point it's going to cost too much to switch away, so I either deal with the high voltages, CPU boosting unnecessarily, and high temps because of iCUE, or I spend a few hundred dollars to replace all my peripherals with a different brand that has better management software.

Either tonight or tomorrow I'm going to do a fresh install of Windows, install the newest BIOS (1.0.0.3ABB), and the latest chipset driver. I'll run some tests prior to installing any utilities (iCUE, Steam, etc) other than HWINFO. Then install those apps and test again. If seeing voltage issues I'll try some of the fixes from this thread, and I'll also try my hand at the manual overclocking. I'll report back when done.

Thanks for the info. My system specs are in the dropdown by my name on the message boards here. But if you can't see that for some reason then it's the following: • Ryzen 9 3900X • Gigabyte Aorus X570 Master • 16GB Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB 3600MHz CL18 I'm using custom EK open loop water cooling with a 240mm Coolstream PE radiator. Motherboard has a true 14-phase VRM (no doublers), and the cooling solution should be more than sufficient.

Could you provide any insight into how you setup your OC in your BIOS? Settings, etc? I jumped from Intel i7 4790K to a Ryzen 9 3900X. Either I lost the silicon lottery with my 4790K or my motherboard before was garbage, because I couldn't OC that system at all beyond stock without crashes. I have been out of the OC game for quite a while and this is a whole new platform for me, so I have no idea where to begin with this on my new X570/3900X system. I've seen my 3900X auto-boost to 4.5Ghz a few times on several cores, so I'm hoping my chip is actually half decent in that regard. Hearing stories of people who can't even achieve 4.4Ghz on a single core. I regularly see my cores boost to 4.35-4.4GHz with the current BIOS / chipset / power plan offered by AMD. It's just the idle voltages I hate seeing so high because I know it's just causing higher temps as a result. I'd appreciate any help I can get.

This is awesome! Thanks for the information. I am probably just going to do a fresh install of Windows again. This will be my 3rd fresh install since getting the 3900X a couple of weeks ago. I just don't want any residual registry settings or files lingering in my system from all the tweaking and fiddling I've done trying to sort this issue out. I do have Corsair RGB RAM too, but Gigabyte's RGB 2.0 can manage it for me so that's ok. Thanks again for the tip. I'll try it out.

AMD released an updated chipset driver today that was supposed to address the issue of high idle voltages due to utilities monitoring the hardware. I used to have a problem with iCUE, Discord, and Steam all causing this issue. Discord and Steam no longer cause this issue, but iCUE still does. In order to get sub 1v during idle I have to uninstall iCUE. Otherwise it's locked at 1.45v almost all the time. Would be really nice if Corsair would put their 2-cents in on this issue.
