Erasmus354 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 So I have a Corsair Link Commander, 2 Cooling Nodes, and an 860AXi PSU. Currently nothing at all is working. I am running version 2.6.5214 of the software. The PSU has never been recognized once by the Link software. The cooling nodes have each separately been recognized once and allowed me to control the fans, but for the most part they are never seen by the Link and just run at full speed. Occasionally (completely random, like after the PC has been running for a week) the Link software will find the Cooling Nodes and want to update the firmware on them from 1.2(?).8 to 1.2.9. That process will seemingly work fine and then immediately it will find 2 unknown nodes and want to recover them. This process will repeat ad infinitum until I decide to not do a firmware update. Is there any hope of me getting this terrible product to work or should I give up and move on to something else? All I wanted was for something nice to control my 10 Corsair SP120 PWM fans inside my Corsair 900D case, get some nice stats from my Corsair 860AXi PSU, with my PC with 32GB of Corsair Dominator RAM. Unfortunately this has to be by far my worst experience with Corsair hardware ever.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bytales Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Yor better of using an Aquacomputer Aquaero 5 or 6, by the looks of it. Im still pondering if i should use the Corsair link myself, it seeems they still have a lot of work to do with their software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Have you tried the latest software? Is the AXi psu connected to the Commander Unit or the USB dongle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is connected to the Commander Unit, I can't really afford to have all of my internal USB headers taken up by plugging it in with the USB dongle.

I don't need fine tuned control. Having already apparently wasted $60 on this Corsair kit (too late to return it) I don't want to also spend $250 for an Aquaero.

Detection Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I agree, ditch these jokes and go with something that works, Ive had enough of their link software not working, their brackets not fitting, their pumps failing I could get a 7 year old to build a more reliable company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im still pondering if i should use the Corsair link myself, it seeems they still have a lot of work to do with their software i have 4 link commanders,an aquaero 6 pro and a aquaero 6 xt and speaking from actual experience the LC is much easier to use,much lower in price and performs as well as the a6's and yes the a6's has its bugs too but if knowledgeable then they can be worked around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can live without the PSU being recognized. While it would be nice if everything worked, I really just need to be able to control the fans because running full bore all the time is really annoying.
