Seems like the recent update fixed the issue for me. 5900X ASUS B450-I BIOS v4204 If possible to add a way to completely disable hardware monitoring from iCUE that would be great. Obviously have it enabled by default for those that use RGB/Hardware Monitoring.

Well it didn't do anything since I have a newer CPU which my version of icue can't detect, but I did rename mine instead of deleting it the an "X" appendix eg. xCorsair.Service.DisplayAdapter.exe Don't have my older CPU anymore so I can't test it either. Regardless I won't be updating icue anytime soon, probably never as I don't see Corsair fixing this issue at all. The way they programmed icue to request/poll information about the CPU is just way too aggressive to the point that Zen has a consistent 1.4v reading whenever icue is running based on my previous experience with a 3900X. It's now behaving as I expect it to be, inconsistent 1.0v-1.4v readings. I'm also going to block icue via firewall to stop checking for updates.

I don't use the icue sensor readings but it's most likely still asking for the sensors in the background and that's why the cpu usage/voltage is always high. I believe it's probably because icue doesn't fully support it yet. I'm probably not going to update my icue at all since it keeps the voltage to operate normally.

that's funny, i swapped my 3900x to 5900x without changing anything and icue v3.31.81 stopped hogging voltage

That's not the problem. The problem is that iCUE is not allowing C6 Sleep States for Intel and AMD CPUs. https://imgur.com/a/H3oIQOs

I was wondering if there's way to save the brightness level when exiting icue? It seems to revert back to max brightness.
