Ranger375 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Umm, I'm going to be very blunt. The LINK program is a pretty adequate to good system for managing fan profiles across the board for systems. Especially if you're syncronizing intake/output for a positive pressure system with dust control as a secondary concern to system temperature. Especially if you have replaced the fans on your H100I (and the rest of the system as a whole) with Noctua industrial high rpm fans. So today, I updated my CUE software. Now, iCUE has taken over control of my H100I, with no option other than (I am assuming) uninstalling this "update" of uselessness, to be able to RETURN control to LINK. This fan cycling is dumb in the first place, ramp it up slowly as the temperature changes, especially in "quiet" mode. Only problem is, ya'll are going off percentages, which means when it ramps up on my system (with NO FRIGGING CONTROL OPTION, I already TRIED making a custom profile IN iCUE and it won't WORK) it spins up my jet turbines to 3000RPM. Ya'll should also incorporate a changelog button since I would like to think that most Corsair peripheral users aren't your classic best buy spoonfoggers, and we'd like to know what you fixed (broke) before we bother updating.

c-attack Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Well, since iCUE is the replacement for Link it is not surprising it takes over control. Link remains able to run simultaneously for a handful of legacy devices not supported in iCUE. This happened 6 months ago and there are 6 months of change logs and posts for you to read. The fan controls do work, but you likely need to learn the first lesson of the iCUE interface. You select the fan profile on the left, then click the fans you want it to apply to. They will highlight yellow as well. Don't click the fan and then try and apply the curve as was done previously in Link. Hit the + symbol to create a custom "cooling mode" where you can access the fixed RPM, %,and movable curve points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Commander I specifically bought to control all fans simultaneously on my system, as Corsair at that point actually had something that worked. Now it's just as bad that I needed a color control program as well as a fan control program, but now it's stealing things instead of remaining unified. Easy solution at this point, don't replace any Corsair componentry with like brand. If they can't make it work for everything and just make "one program to rule them all" PROPERLY OUT THE GATE, then don't bother until you do an entire revamp of the peripheral family.

Now I am confused. You original complaint was they altered the program to make a unified version of CUE and Link and now your complaint is they haven't made a proper unified program? If you only have a Commander Pro and no other Corsair RGB peripherals, it likely doesn't make much difference if you use Link or iCUE. It is a different program with a different interface and will require some personal adjustment. If you know you don't handle that well, then uninstall it and go back to Link. Link has reached the end of its development cycle so there won't be any more updates, but you can sit on it for as long as possible which is likely to be until MS does something to the OS to make older drivers incompatible.
