richied Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Hi first post. as with many of the posters I have problems getting this up and running. currently have version 2.20 which runs and finds the processor temps (over USB Link?) which are approx right. The 3 HD's are found but are approx twice the actual temps, and my Video card is correctly identified with the correct temp. I see no H100, no Commander, no cooling node, and therefore no fans or additional sensors. From the many posts I have read it seems having the right firmware is important. Unfortunately as the commander does not find the cooling node, nor my H100 I don't get to be able to download the firmware the normal way,or to see what firmware I am running. Is there a direct link to the current firmware. Many thanks for suggestions. Richie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 do you have the link commander? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richied Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 yes I purchased a link cooling kit (Link Commander, cooling node +3 sensors and 5 Fan cables + digital cables to link Commander to cooling node and H100) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toasted Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 If you want to use LINK 2, The Commander FW needs to be on FW 2.0.6. Note: If you currently have a Corsair Link Cooling/Cooling and Lighting Kit and are running the 1.2.7 V1 software you will need to update your Corsair Commander unit with new firmware in order to be able to use your current hardware with the new V2 software. Once you have updated your Commander unit from the current firmware to the new firmware you will not be able to re-flash to the old firmware. You will need to install the new V2 software on your system and use it to flash this firmware file to your Corsair Link Commander unit. Download Corsair Commander Firmware Version 2.0.6 here. Unzip before flashing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richied Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 many thanks Toasted Did a complete install. Unfortunately still no further. Tried different USB headers. One did not light up the green light on the Commander. Here Sierra did not crash, but allowed me to go through the Firmware update, recognising both the commanter and a H100i/H80ibut could not update the firmware. As soon as I tried another Header, and the green light came on sierra crashed. I will try other combinations when I am free. Richie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 The green light as in the Commander Unit power L.E.D.? If so, The header on the motherboard that did not power the Commander unit may be faulty. Do you have the latest BIOS installed in case it fixes this issue? Have you tried resetting the BIOS to default settings by shorting the pins or removing the CMOS battery. Is the Commander unit on FW 2.0.6 yet? If not, Uninstall LINK 2 and install LINK 1.2.7 and update the firmware. Note: Your H80i/H100i will not be detected under LINK 1.2.7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richied Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 @Toasted, Thanks for the suggestion. I got help from the Tech Guys. Delete Commander 2.20, install 2.11, flash LC with 2.06. This worked, now everything is recognised. However H100 seems to be still not right. I probably need to update the firmware on both this and the cooling node. Does anyone one have links to the latest Firmware for the cooling node and the H100? Richie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Technobeard Posted November 29, 2012 Administrators Share Posted November 29, 2012 Cooling Node FW 1.2.5 - http://forum.corsair.com/v3/attachment.php?attachmentid=10809 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 What's wrong with the H100? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richied Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 @Toasted The H100 shows 4 Values 2x Temp 2x Power They are not very stable (Value 0-340 wildly fluctuating) flashing Red. Still this is already a vast improvement. Currently Commander is on 2.06 and runs. Cooling node is recognised as are sensors on CN. However Fans work with strange revs (24000) H100 is recognised but values fluctuate will update cooling node and if possible H100 Richie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toasted Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Have you tried a different LINK Digital cable? You can a reflash the H100 if you want. I have attached the file for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richied Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 @Ramguy see attached file. @toasted seems like a good idea Thanks for all your help. I'll provide feedback. When I finally have this working I will try to post a sequential change log so as to maybe provide a solution for others.
