Ripshod Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Part 1 of the guide - should see you right. If it doesn't work there is another issue. http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?p=623954#post623954 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy1294 Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 Nope still nothing :( in 'Universal Serial Bus Controllers' is where my 'unknown device' is but when i update through automatically search it says windows has already found the best drivers for this device 'Unknown device' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripshod Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 mmm. Have you tried a different USB header, it'll force it to be freshly detected. Shame you haven't got a mini USB B lead to test in one of your rear USBs. Don't go out and buy one - that is just a theory that needs confirming. I'm not giving up on you yet. Your H100i is lit up blue or white, not red or flashing?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripshod Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 1. Right click the 'unknown device' and select 'Properties' 2. Select the 'Details' tab 3. Click on the drop down 'Property' box (should already say 'Device description') and select 'Hardware Ids' 4. You're looking for 'HID\VID_1B1C&PID_0C04' or 'HID\VID_1B1C&PID_0C04&REV_0200' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy1294 Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 hahah yeh only got 2 'spare headers' however i have 3 in total and i have tried all 3, they all detect it but detect it as unknown, my h100i is changing colours its on a cycle or something its cool but does that mean its 'working' or not? the id = USB\UNKNOWN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripshod Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Did you say you had USB keyboard/mouse? May be worth moving them to a different socket and trying again. This is the first time I've come across 'cycling' colors. That must mean something i don't know about yet. What speed are the fans at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripshod Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 One second. open Corsair Link, go to the options tab and select devices. Take a screenie and post it please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy1294 Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 Fans are SP120 quiets running at about 1125rpm each.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy1294 Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 Fixed it i believe... i was googling around and saw someone was having problems related to there usb headers that came from a incompatible pci usb hub thing, which i have one in my system and have never used so i thought hmmm, took it out restarted an VOILA (: the HID-compliant device with the correct hardware ID, thanks for all your help i really appreciate it but in the end it was down to faulty hardware haha we would never of guessed that!

smithy1294 Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 however now that its found it what do i do? remove all corsair link then install 1.2.7 and start from fresh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleT Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Ha, who could've guessed. Hope everything goes well now. edit: Just saw your post. Yeah, install 1.2.7, then update all the FW. Uninstall 1.2.7 - REBOOT (Important!) - Install 2.2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripshod Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Yep, do that. Good progress ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripshod Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 So it goes down in my book that manufacturers rewrite their own HID drivers that stop microsoft's installing. That makes total sense and will probably be the answer a lot of users are looking for. Would also explain why units get bricked by the firmware updates. We done good for Corsair here methinks. :cool: I'm buzzin' for ya :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripshod Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 npz m8, that's what we're all here for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripshod Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 And I can now confirm the 'Integrated USB Bridge' in 'Devices and Printers' is indeed H80i/H100i. The other CorsairLink devices may also appear as separate integrated USB bridge devices. I'll confirm this when I fit the dongle for my psu.

smithy1294 Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 Awesome, one small problem, device wont upgrade FW, in 1.2.7 it says FW is 0.0 :S trying to put 2.09 on an nothing (on commander btw) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripshod Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Now the commander. I don't have one :roll: I have seen it before on these forums tho Hopefully someone else will pop in and help you with that one ;): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy1294 Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 Oh right ok I just thought the h100i had like a built in one that required separate FW but if not that's fine I'll just need the h100i FW an the 860i FW :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripshod Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Is everything working tho? I'm not gonna leave this til you're sorted. It's a learning curve so I can help more peeps avoid the hurdles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy1294 Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 Haha I must say I haven't tried as I haven't updated it to 2.20 yet however once I do that and update FW ill be sure to let you know for now tho I'm off to bed, I think you've deserved a break my friend, everything should be fine and (fingers crossed) easy pickings from here on out, again thanks a lot and ill report back whether its good news or bad (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleT Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Sorry, I was under the impression you're running the PSU and the H100i through the Link Commander and the fans through the Cooling Node. Disregard what I said about Cooling Node (needing a FW upgrade) then. ;) Hope you get everything sorted out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
