New version of Corsair Link won't recognize my CPU temp sensor, only using H100i V2 temp is available


Recommended Posts

Doesn't solve the issue, well, it kind of does... but with any type of watercooling, custom loop or AIO, you really should control the fan speeds with the water temp and not the CPU temp. Controlling via CPU is extremely inefficient and noisy, and completely defeats the advantages of watercooling.

As stated above, Corsair Link was discontinued years ago. It will not recognize any cpu released since development was stopped. Either way, coolant temperature (H100i v2 Temp) is the correct control variable for all water cooling. The fans don’t blow cool air on the cpu. They blow heat out of the liquid and you alter cpu temp by lowering (or maintaining) the liquid temperature that serves as the baseline minimum temp for the cpu.

What new version? Last version on the downloads page is from almost 2 years ago.

The problem was that wasn't ramping the fam up fast enough based on water temp, my CPU was hitting the 100C thermal throttling limit. I solved the issue by replacing the cooler. The Arctic Freezer II 420 AIO plugs into the CPU fan header, I can change the fan curve based on CPU temp.  So you can close this now.

I replaced the cooler with an Arctic Freezer II 420 AIO. Sucks that Corsair won't support their cooling products. No more Corsair AIO for me.

Next time, try to contact the official support too, and not just the user's forum 😉

Some corsair employees do look at the forum from time to time, but to get warranty support you have to use the support page https://help.corsair.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

Anyway, the Arctic coolers don't have water temp sensors so CPU temp is how you control them, but any more advanced cooler will have to be controlled by water temp and not CPU temp.

It still works as you can see on your PC, but it's way less quiet as the fans ramp up and down with spiky CPU load, and it's not needed with watercooling (but on the flip side, you need no control software, except maybe the one from your mobo manufacturer to control fan speeds in windows, that's a big + )
