oRAirwolf Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 I created a ticket for this, but I also wanted to post in the forums to see if anybody else is having this problem. I was just looking at the usage of Corsair Link 4 on my computer. In task manager, I see the following: Total PC Uptime: ~36 hours Corsair Link 4 CPU Time: ~9 hours 681 GB of IO reads 1.4GB of IO writes Corsair Link 4 is using 25% of my CPU time and is using an insane amount of storage IO. I noticed that debug logging was enabled in CL4, so I turned that off and restarted the program/service. It has been about 30 minutes since it has been restarted and it has already read 4.7 GB from my SSD. Is this a known issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red-ray Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Yes, the code seems to be rather poor and Corsair don't really seem to care. I have reported this several times including http://forum.corsair.com/forums/showthread.php?p=851734 and just been ignored. There is also http://forum.corsair.com/forums/showthread.php?p=837643 about excessive TCP traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I will wait and see what they say via the ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should read http://forum.corsair.com/forums/showthread.php?p=878917 as it seems Corsair are not the only ones with poor software for their coolers. I have just noticed you have "2 x Samsung SSD 850 EVO 500GB (1TB Striped)" which I suspect CL4 also fails to report. I have also been asking for this to be addressed for a couple of years, see http://forum.corsair.com/forums/showthread.php?p=834459 and follow the links. In the end I gave up on CL and wrote my own software as I felt I could do better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
