Corsair Link System Hub + Linux

[nikki2048]

Hello all,

firstly, before I start I'd like to point out that I am aware of the fact that iCue doesn't support Linux (although this would be nice in the long run)!

I'm mainly a Windows user for everything that isn't programming. However, due to my field of work, I do see myself booting into Linux rather frequently. Especially when compiling larger projects, the CPU-utilization can be fairly high over an extended period of time. I've recently purchased a Corsair iCue Link AIO (Titan 360mm), which is powered by Corsair's system hub.

Is there a way to automatically control the fans (including chassis fans also connected to the system hub) based on CPU temperature in Linux? I believe that the system hub's "hardware mode" monitors the coolant temperatures and acts accordingly, however am unsure whether the lag in coolant temperature readings can suffice when cooling a 14900k close to 100% utilization - without it thermal throttling of course.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

 

(I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for a question like this, if not feel free to move the post to a more appropriate forum)

To expand on this a little bit:

If iCue isn't running (which it obviously won't be on linux), does the System Hub default to a hardware mode, which only takes into consideration the coolant temperature of the AIO effectively regulating all fans along a default curve based on the aforementioned temperature of the liquid? If so, can this default hardware (fan) profile be changed? I've read about the "hardware mode" in several different places, however wasn't able to find anything helpful in Corsair's documentation, detailing the exact operation of this mode.

Cheers.

Was in same situation, but I've switched everything to Linux. Give it a try.
