Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted August 22, 2013 Corsair Employees Share Posted August 22, 2013 The Corsair devices are not being detected. That is why nothing is showing up. When you installed the Corsair Link program, what version did you install and how did you download and install it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wa3pnt Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I'm having the same problem. CL detects H100i and AX860i (via the H100i pump head). I'll elaborate when I finish my last ditch effort. Been on it for 3 days, 20 hours/day. RodeoGeorge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted August 22, 2013 Corsair Employees Share Posted August 22, 2013 Please remove any saved profiles and then reset to default and close Corsair Link and do not save anything on exit. Then go to Programs and features and uninstall the Corsair Link software and then uninstall Corsair USB dongle and restart Windows. Then down load Corsair Link Software Update Beta Version 2.4.4948 to a directory on your HDD not to the desktop and then right click on the install file and run as an administrator.

movieman03 Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 well, I appreciate the quick reply. I was very excited to try the beta software out. Unfortunately, I followed your instructions and it did not work :( Should I go back to Win 7? At this point I don't much care about win 7 or 8.

Toasted Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Make sure the Commander unit is on FW 2.0.6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
movieman03 Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 I would love to. However, I don't know how. I read the How To Guide and it tells me to look under Tools | Device Mgmt. I have a device tab on the left, but nothing that says tools. In my devices, there is nothing for the light node, cooling node or the commander....just my mobo, cpu, and gpus. I have no idea where to look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 If you are looking at my guide, Make sure you are using LINK 1.2.7 Beta. If i remember correctly theres a LINK 2.X.X version which allows you to update the FW to 2.0.6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
movieman03 Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 well I thought that Windows 8 does not support older version of link??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wemdee Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 You need the older version to recognize the firmware that shipped on the node. After you upgrade the firmware, you can go back to a newer version. You probably just have to flash the commander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After you upgrade the firmware, you can go back to a newer version. You probably just have to flash the commander. You are absolutely correct. Took me 4 days of hacking, then found Toasted's post on how to update the Firmware when you can't see the Commander and Nodes in the current Corsair Link.

movieman03 Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 VICTORY!!!! :) THANK YOU Should I update the FW for the lighting node and cooling node if they are currently working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 VICTORY!!!! :) THANK YOU Should I update the FW for the lighting node and cooling node if they are currently working no dont update if it works newer isnt always better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wemdee Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 no dont update if it works newer isnt always better... I agree. The newer cooling firmware might work better with some fans. I didn't upgrade for a long time and then the nodes stopped working. Fans would stop spinning and other odd behaviors. I went ahead and upgraded and they have been ok since.
