  1. I like the idea of using IF statements to trigger events - it's something that was there to some degree in LINK (when temp reaches x set all LEDs red, set all fans 100%, etc). I'd like the ability to create a custom fan curve based upon multiple sensor inputs - this could either be its own thing or doable with multiple IF statements.
  2. Try selecting something from the 3rd column, Lighting Link. This should play across both lighting channels. Visor, for example, will start with channel 1 fan 1 and end at channel 2 fan 3, where it will go back through in reverse. I found the LL fans annoying with the patterns starting in the top left corner and running the outer loop then the inner loop. It took a lot of trial and error before I found a mix of effects that I liked.
  3. You say you cannot drag the window around when it's like this, though what's visible of the title bar to the right of Settings should be grab-able. I assume you cannot grab the side of the window to resize either? Give this a try: Set scaling back to 100%. Move the window to the top left of your screen. Quit iCUE and re-open to make sure it opens in the same spot. Restart. Quit iCUE and re-open to make sure it opens in the same spot. Set scaling back to 150% and restart. Open up iCUE and see what happens...
  4. Not just rotating them in software so they're the right way up, but also being able to set how they're aligned: horizontally (both-left to-right and right-to-left) or vertically (both top-to-bottom and bottom-to-top). I have MLs stacked vertically and most of the linear effects look dreadful, so this would be really handy. I have 2 pairs of lighting strips either side of my front fans so this would let me do a left-to-right link effect (strip 1 > fans > strip 2). This is the killer feature for me as I've an (apparently) uncommon layout: my PC case is on my left :eek: A visual interface would be ideal: show a depiction of a generic desk and drag-and-drop markers for your devices. E.g. the case (which could just be a group of any CoPro or NoPros that are connected) could be dropped either on the top left or right, or underneath left or right. The keyboard would snap to the centre of the desk, headset to your seating position, mouse pad and headphone stand would have more freedom and the mouse would be linked to the pad location. Then there could be a set group for the inside of the case, or just having manual grouping. What would really be the cherry-on-top would be a visual representation of your case similar to LINK but either isometric (to show all sides in a 2D display) or separate views of each side (maybe rotatable, maybe having the correct fan mount positions for all Corsair's own cases). That way I could tell it that NoPro CH1 are ML fans running up the front of the case, that fan3 is the rear exhaust, that CoPro CH1 has 2 strips running down the left of the top panel then the front panel, that CoPro CH2 has the same on the right. All this configuration could then be used to inform the lighting patterns. I've got 2 HUE lamps either side of my desk which light up the area behind my monitor (not to mention the rest of the wall) quite nicely. After setting up an entertainment space in the HUE app and using the HUE Sync app on Windows I get my desktop colours washing across the back wall. It works nicely in games and VLC (Netflix won't play ball due to DRM). It would be awesome if they could get the same kind of integration Razer have, though I won't hold my breath. The SDK should allow colours to be sent to a HUE entertainment zone, just like their HUE Sync app, or even control individual lights and activate scenes (like the many Hue controller apps in the Windows Store). Lots could be done even without the partnership Razer have. Ditto!
  5. I wouldn't bother contacting the supplier/retailer about the GPU, unless consumer law in SA covers accidental damage and covers 5+ years. Same goes for the GPU manufacturer, the moment that coolant hit the card any warranty was null and void. Contacting Corsair is the best bet. Don't make any assumptions about how they'll deal with it, time scales or shipping costs, just talk to them and see what options they may have (I work tech support for one of the world's largest PC companies and I know exactly how they would deal with this sort of thing). Failing all that, does your home insurance include accidental damage cover (I know mine doesn't)?
