CarpCharacin Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I have an hx750i that I am going to use. I want to use arch linux. Does corsair link work with arch linux? Is there a package I can install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarpCharacin Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 But will the PSU work without corsair link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red-ray Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Yes, it's obvious it will as it has to work before you install Windows, but you won't be able to monitor it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarpCharacin Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 What is there to monitor? I don't want to have to sit there all day monitoring my PSU so it dosen't explode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What on earth makes you think a PSU will explode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Technobeard Posted December 8, 2016 Administrators Share Posted December 8, 2016 That is a picture of a battery from a laptop that exploded - 10 years ago. Nothing to do with a PSU. http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1042700/dell-laptop-explodes-japanese-conference No, Corsair Link does not work with Linux. No, Corsair Link is not needed for the PSU to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterCATZ Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 the only thing stopping my upgrading my old 10+ yr old corsair PSU's is the lack on LINK support on Linux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjaminchodrof Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Apologies for bumping an old thread, but I did find an amazing Linux utility which allows me to control my Corsair HX1200i PSU: https://github.com/liquidctl/liquidctl You can easily install it using python3: sudo pip3 install liquidctl To configure, read, and set my power supply information sudo liquidctl list sudo liquidctl initialize sudo liquidctl status sudo liquidctl set corsair speed 100 sudo liquidctl status |grep Total Power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
