Hello community

i got into the corsair ecosystem this year for the first time.

5000d airflow case

Corsair Hx1500i psu 

Corsair h150i elite lcd

and 3 ML 120 pro fans at front.

And im having and issue with the fan colors after installing icue (clean windows 11 install) the colors look pastel whitout life. Why is that?

Hey, hey!

Not sure.

Are you by chance using a Watercolor effect from iCUE on your devices either with Lighting Link or Murals?

Are you running Opera GX? It has the ability to take over and color Corsair devices.

Are you running Wallpaper Engine using a wallpaper that has the LED option checked? It too has the ability to take over and color Corsair devices.

Hey, hey!

I honestly cannot tell the difference. You'll just have to go into iCUE, click on your Lighting Node Core where the fans are connected to, and see if any lighting effects are activated there, such as a default profile or a created one.

Hey i found there was an illumination arcoiris layer which i found weird cause this is a clean install i deleted it and the issue was fixed, thanks.

However there are more issues  got an strix 4070 ti and the device doesnt appear on icue why? 

The card has two pwm fan headers should i connect something there?

Also i found it doest matter which mural i choose all the colors look pastel not vivid, are the ml pro fans the culprit?

What you are describing is the Mural effects. If you review the pinned mural thread it has been discussed there and we are aware of the feedback.

Please explain how to do this? I have the exact same profiles on my ram and fans, the ram colors look vibrant and the fan colors washed.

Thank you in advance

Hi Hope this helps:

1) Just go to the radiatior icon.

2) Now go to the illumination layer section.

3) Now go to the ... section and delete the current layer.

4) Now go to the + yellow icon and choose the rainbow icon that is in the image.

 

The fans that i have are more expensive and more quite but they have less leds than the cheaper ones so you can't use all the presets that are out there (like the halloween one) which is sad,
