LogicalUnit Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Hi everyone, I'm having 2 problems with my Corsair Link software: 1) The number of fans is too many. I have 3 PWM case fans and a CPU cooler, but Link shows 8 fans. 2) I can't seem to control the colour of my RGB RAM sticks. I have set them to blue, but they each cycle out-of-sync through the rainbow. See attachment for details (also looks like a stick of RAM is missing :bigeyes: ) Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees Corsair Dustin Posted October 30, 2017 Corsair Employees Share Posted October 30, 2017 Here are a couple of things you can do to help troubleshoot the issue: 1. Make sure you're running the most recent version of Link (4.9.1.23). 2. Run HWMonitor and see if it also erroneously detects those extra fans. 3. Update your BIOS to the most recent version. As a sidenote, the control for RGB/LED RAM on X99 is heinously finicky. This has less to do with Link and more to do with the SMBus on X99 in general; if you check out AIDA64, you'll notice it too periodically has problems properly detecting all of the DIMMs in a system. So we're not the only ones that have trouble getting DRAM to report correctly on the X99 platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never had any problem with Dimm reporting, with AIDA or SIV. Not sure about Link. What types of problems have you seen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LogicalUnit Posted October 31, 2017 Author Share Posted October 31, 2017 (edited) Okay, I have run HWMonitor, and it does indeed show 8 different readings: SYSFANIN, CPUFANIN, AUXFANIN0, AUXFANIN3, Chassis #1, CPU, Chassis #2, Chassis #5. The Chassis and CPU fans look okay, but what are those input ones? I'm using PWM fans in my case. I have just updated my motherboard BIOS to the latest version from ASUS: 1701. Definitely running latest version of Corsair Link: 4.9.1.23 EDIT: I solved my RAM colour issue by going into my BIOS and changing DRAM SPD Write to Enabled, which was hiding under Ai Tweaker\DRAM Timing Control.

I have never had any problem with Dimm reporting, with AIDA or SIV. Not sure about Link. What types of problems have you seen? I had an MSI board that would only report maybe seven of the eight DIMMs installed. If you check the AIDA64 forums, this has been logged as a pain point with X99. Some boards work fine, but some...it's just intermittent and weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LogicalUnit Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 (edited) I can confirm that on my ASUS ROG Strix X99 Gaming mobo that Corsair Link intermittently reported 3 DIMMs instead of 4. In fact you can see it in my screenshot. Can anyone help me hide the 4 fan inputs that seem to be affecting Corsair Link?

Corsair Employees Corsair Dustin Posted November 1, 2017 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 1, 2017 Those are fan inputs that are being recognized by the CPUID SDK and passed along to Link. I'm working on an update in a future version of Link that will allow you to hide sensors, but that's not going to be available for a couple months at least.

LogicalUnit Posted November 2, 2017 Author Share Posted November 2, 2017 Is there any chance Corsair Link will be able to control motherboard fans in a future release? I was really hoping it could be my all-in-one hardware monitoring and fan control solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees Corsair Dustin Posted November 2, 2017 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 2, 2017 That's something that requires significantly more work. We are looking at working with motherboard vendors, but everyone has a competing ecosystem unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
