TheLocNar Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Every other second... click... click... click... click... Windows Task Manager (view by CPU usage... idle at top) shows SierraService.exe *32 bouncing to 2nd place every other second or two. Even after Ending Process, it comes back and keeps accessing my hard drive constantly. Now I know the Corsair Link 2 software has to monitor temps/pump on my H100i, but really?

robandcathy Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Corsair said this had been addressed if you are using the current our one prior version. Meaning 2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLocNar Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 Yeah I have 2.2.0 installed. It was even thrashing my SSD with version 2.1.7. I uninstalled, rebooted, and reinstalled 2.2.0, and SierraService is still hitting my HD every second. In the main System window of CorsairLink, The Intel CPU Load % is refreshing every 1/2 second. Logging is turned off. Everything else seems to be as it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zshulko Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Hopefully an update to the software in short time... I think there may be some firmware updates coming soon also to address some other issues... but not sure... Hopefully we will hear in short time...

TheLocNar Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 Ah thats whats this fault is... I thought my ssd was dying... Whats the fix for this? For now, I have totally uninstalled CorsairLink 2.2.0. I keep RealTemp open 24/7, and keep an eye on temps especially when playing games. I miss the color changing LED, but that's just a novelty. Having your SSD thrashed by this software constantly will just shorten its life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having your SSD thrashed by this software constantly will just shorten its life. Or simply puts the service "Sierra2Service" on manual mode in the task manager -> Services -> Services. Its what I do, I start it once at launch, for LED color and H80 fan speed and I stop it after. Pending a fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iamanerd2 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 After some debugging of sierraservice ive found multiple memory leaks in the service which creates about 100 handles or so every thirty seconds. after awhile it will eat up you virtual memory and start writing to disk hence the constant thrashing. once it eats up memory it will crash. proper garbage collection is needed in the service to make it stable. wish i had the source code to fix it. they need to find out where in memory the variable is being stored and why its not being dumped allot of times within the dotnet framework static variables are to blame for the memory leaks.
