cakesson Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Everything shows up. Info on they Corsair H100i is there. Clicking on a fan and setting the mode to "Quiet" or "Performance" does nothing. Right clicking in the system tray and setting all fans to "quiet" or "performance" also does nothing. Does anyone have any ideas on why this would be? Any suggestions on how to fix the issue? The consensus around the forum seems to be that the Corsair Link "has issues". Just wait for an update to the software? Thanks for any pointers or ideas. /Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 There are some users that's having issues with the Mini which is caused by the users build vitals and such and can be a bit complex to narrow down ,however there's updated software that will address these issues that's in its final testing so its release really shouldn't be very long from now...

red-ray Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 There are many users that's having issues with the Mini which is caused by the poor testing by Corsair. For example the 1.1.05 firmware totally failed to report the temperature sensors, CL 2.7 only reporting 1 of my 4 GPUs and CL 2.7 seems incapable of reporting > 1 of my 3 x CL Mini. When I reported a few issues and just got excuses (http://forum.corsair.com/forums/showthread.php?t=135091). Other programs such as HWINFO (http://www.hwinfo.com/) and my SIV (http://rh-software.com/) utility often work better than CL, further HWiNFO and SIV correctly interlock access to the CL hardware and can both be active at the same time reporting the CL hardware as they correctly use a mutex to interlock access. Corsair have thus far given no indication if CL V3 will use this mutex and I have my doubts about the requests to add this being heard. CL V3 may work better, time will tell. I advice you to take any post that implies CL V3 will fix everything with a pinch of salt! Have a read of http://forum.corsair.com/forums/showthread.php?t=120092 and draw your own conclusions about their motives and technical understanding. To my thinking there are far too many posts effectively saying "keep trying different releases of CL and different USB connections 'till you find one that works" rather than actually diagnosing the issue and fixing it. Others state opinions as facts with no justifications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 No one said it will fix everything;): ,all software has its own issues I have to think if a Mini users has issues then their sure to seek help here and adding all the issues here are but a small fraction of total number sold. Take the original Link Commander that was Eol'd,theres still being used,in fact Im running one in my new 4930 build along side an Aquaero 6 , its unfortunate that some have problems but at least these issues are being heard.

cakesson Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Considering that I got the Corsair Commander Mini to handle cooling and my fan speeds, it's really annoying that the only thing NOT working is the regulating of the fan speed. I guess I will give it a few weeks and if Corsair can't get their act together I will abandon the Commander Mini and CL and just go with Asus AI with everything plugged into the motherboard.... ($70 + $ for LED kit down the drain). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specter Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 By chance did you already have the H100i installed then you installed the Commander Mini? If you did you will have to uninstall the corsair link software delete all profiles and reinstall corsair link latest version or try 2.5.411. For some odd reason in my experience it does not like when hardware in installed after the software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since this was a brand new build, I plugged all the hardware up, booted and then installed corsair link. That is the proper way to go about it right? I may try to do a wipe and re-install to see if the planets align differently :D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take note if you connect both the Commander mini and the H100i to the USB headers at the same time things can go crazy. The best path I have found is to connect the Commander Mini to the USB header then connect all other Link devices to the commander using the link cables.

Commander Mini to USB header and small link cable from H100i to Mini's link input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee Corsair Dustin Posted February 2, 2015 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 2, 2015 This is going to sound asinine, but does rebooting solve the problem or is it basically that every cold boot, the CL software won't control the fans?

cakesson Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 This is going to sound asinine, but does rebooting solve the problem or is it basically that every cold boot, the CL software won't control the fans? Hi Dustin, Rebooting does not fix the issue. Every time I boot up now, I try to control the fans from system tray and from within the Corsair Link software with no success. Tonight when I get home from work, I will try to do a full uninstall/re install to see if anything changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee Corsair Dustin Posted February 3, 2015 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 3, 2015 Yeah, please let me know because that's unusual. I have the ASUS X99-DELUXE in my home system and a Commander Mini connected to it, so our setups are comparable in that respect. I'm assuming you installed the CL software as an admin?

PacManCan Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Just got my Mini Commander today and having the same issue. It worked for the half hour or so now it won't change any fan speeds. Corsair link won't change mobo fan speeds either or detect my pump speed plugged into CPU header! Using SP120 PWM editions Tried uninstall then re-install and also changing USB header on mobo.

cakesson Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Whoa! (a la Keanu Reeves!). Last night I uninstalled Link and nuked the profile. Since this is a new build, I downloaded and installed all the latest drivers from the Asus site (LAN, Sound, USB etc etc). After rebooting, I re installed Link. I immediately tried throttling the fans via the system tray and it worked! I thought that it may bork after a reboot, but it did not. I now have a much quieter machine (the fans were previously at full bore). Looks like the Commander Mini is in business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair link won't change mobo fan speeds either or detect my pump speed plugged into CPU header! Using SP120 PWM editions Tried uninstall then re-install and also changing USB header on mobo. That is exactly how my issues began. Was running nice and quiet for a session then after a reboot, the fans were at full bore and not responsive to me setting them in system tray or in the GUI.... If you read how mine got fixed, it is possible I guess that the USB driver install could have influenced the outcome (vs running the generic MS USB driver). Go to your mobo manufacturer and download the specific driver to your mobo, uninstall Link and delete the profile in Roaming Data. Install drivers, reboot and re-install....
