Reporting in that I have the exact same problem as OP. iCue was fine until I upgraded to 4.24.193. Now it crashes after waking from sleep probably 75% of the time.

Is this a thing yet? Just stumbled on this thread looking for an answer. Setting the EQ for each profile is...tedious.

Thanks for taking the time to look!

I’d like to get a guru to verify my setup, if possible. It’s been a long road of reading/learning about Corsair’s RGB products and I think I finally understand. I’m about to start a build in a Corsair 4000X, which comes with three SP elite fans and a Lighting Node Core. I am adding 3 QL120 fans to the case, and they come with a LNC as well. I’m getting a Commander Pro as well. Knowing that you aren’t really supposed to mix models of fans on a LNC, I’ll be using separate LNCs for the 3 fans of each model. Each LNC will plug into the CoPro’s USB ports, and all 6 PWM cables will connect to the CoPro. There is no need to have an LED control cable from the Lighting Node Cores to the Commander Pro’s LED headers, because Lighting Node Cores have that built in, correct? A Lighting Node CORE is basically an RGB hub and a Lighting Node Pro combined. For additional in-case lighting I ordered a Lighting Node Pro that comes with 4 RGB LED strips. Is it correct to say that I don’t actually need the Lighting Node Pro because I can connect the RGB strips directly to the LED headers on the CoPro?

Think I've got it figured out now, thanks a bunch for your help. 4000X should be here tomorrow. Now to figure out all of the other components :)

Thanks for the reply. So to get this completely straight, can you verify this is how I should do it? Commander Pro will go to a USB header on the motherboard, and each Lighting Node Core will plug into the Commander Pro's 2 USB ports. All six fan PWM cables will then connect to the Commander Pro. Or are you saying I need both Lighting Node Cores AND a RGB lighting hub AND a commander pro? Alternatively I could take the Commander Pro out of the equation and use two lighting node cores (3 SP fans on one and 3 QL fans on the other) then use CHA_FAN headers on my motherboard for the PWM cables and control the fan speed via the BIOS. The Motherboard I have selected right now (ASUS ROG Strix B550-E) has 3 CHA_FAN headers so I'd need some splitters or a hub of some sort... Thanks again

Thanks to CorsairJordan from support who replied to my post on Reddit. Here is their reply: The Lighting Node Core only controls the RGB. If you wanted to contol the RPM through iCUE, you'd need a Commander Core. Otherwise, you'll plug the fans into your motherboard and use the BIOS to control the RPM. The fans will have arrows on them to indicate airflow, but if you're looking at the logo side, it'd be blowing away from you. All of our RGB series fans work all of our RGB controllers. You'll have no issues with either LLs or QLs with the Lighting Node Core.

I would hope that I could use the Lighting Node Core as the USB hub like in this diagram. My main concern is that the provided front case fans are not the same model as the QL120 case fans. Question about the diagram - what kind of cable is the blue "LED Control" that goes from the hub to the commander pro?

I've got a 4000X RGB White case on the way for my new build. I could use some advice on fans and the lighting node core. I assume the 3 fans that come preinstalled in the front will be connected to the node, and I want to add two QL120 fans to the top (intake) and one to the back (exhaust). The node core supports 6 fans, but a Corsair install video says not to mix different RGB fan series. Does that mean the QL fans won't work on that Lighting Node Core? The Corsair 4000x rgb website says it comes with thress (yes there is a typo on the website) 120mm fans, but does not say what model. The fans in the picture show a part number of CO-9050073-ww, which are 140mm fans... Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks! I'll give it a shot.

I just updated to 3.28.70 and RAM firmware 1.02.64. I enabled "Full software control" and cpu usage appears to be normal. I would like the RAM RGB lights to turn off when the computer is asleep, but they don't go off. Is there an option somewhere in icue that I need to enable for that to happen? Thanks

Updated to the latest firmware and enabled full software control. However, when my computer goes to sleep the ram LEDs stay on. Aren't they supposed to go off now?

It's either have the RAM lit up all the time (including when the computer sleeps) or enable software control and have the software eat 10% of your cpu. Very disappointed.
