skylined Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 It's not a matter of blame, it is a matter of resources, information, change notification and time! Link is actually a pretty unique concept! Corsair is basically a hardware company, so I doubt they can afford to have thousands of people working on this. Yes it is a matter of blame when the people who sell us hardware do not take care of the issues they have had plenty of time to take care of, and then leave us with vague '4 to 6 week' timelines on when we might get a beta that we can help them test. (oh gee thanks Corsair!) Not acceptable! They can do better and for people to tell them that is constructive criticism. They most certainly do not need you to defend them. Even more to the point, you do not even run windows 8.1 and are not affected by the issue, yet here you are, arguing on an issue that you are not even affected by. You Sir, are becoming what is known on the internet as a Troll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akuka Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I follow the steps about USB and Regedit, and now i can see all the temps and fans on LINK2, but i still have a problem. The only color that i can see on the pump is BLUE and not RED or YELLOW. weird, right? May you help me. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Yes it is a matter of blame when the people who sell us hardware do not take care of the issues they have had plenty of time to take care of, and then leave us with vague '4 to 6 week' timelines on when we might get a beta that we can help them test. (oh gee thanks Corsair!) Not acceptable! actually skylined even when corsair issues a beta it will work in all instances and machines that they've tried it on.but considering the complexity of being able to get things to work on any machine and software configuration ,i think they issue it as a beta. we can take the same software and it could work on yours but not mine. its a hassle having to wait but they are working on it. it isnt like graham is being a ''troll' per sea,but he is sorta like me as we defend what we believe in and really mean no harm in it were just old,worn out ,with a one track mind:D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylined Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I don't actually think he means harm, its just kind of frustrating to have someone who is not being affected by the issue insinuate that I should just suck it up or that this is common practice. Maybe I am over reacting, but I have spent a considerable amount of money on my hardware... specifically Corsair parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey33 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I think you are all completely 'barking up the wrong tree'! My H80i, for example, is not made by Corsair; it is actually made by CoolIt Systems. If you look up CoolIt's website you will see the H80i in it's full glory! CoolIt makes excellent products, which is why Corsair buys them and re-badges them. As for the software, if you look closely when the Link install program is running for the first time, at one point you will see, very briefly, the 'Coolit' name and it's logo! So, this may lead you to believe that CoolIt also wrote the software and that it is actually that company, not Corsair, who have unfortunately completely dropped the ball on Windows 8.1 compatibility! It is 'unfortunate' because both companies actually produce very good products. I have used CoolIt cooling systems (under their own badge) previously and have been very satisfied with them.

You Sir, are becoming what is known on the internet as a Troll. I seriously object to your categorization of me, it is personally insulting. If you have any personal experience in software development, which I doubt, please describe it here. Otherwise I am sorry but you have no idea what you are talking about and are just acting as a petulant child! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamB Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 No, its not like that at all. The preview has the exact same changes to the USB stack as does the final. But did Microsoft guarantee that from the preview? No they did not. I stand by the analogy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamB Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 And finally "skylined" My first name is Graham, my last name is Bland, hence my user name. I am proud of my heritage and what my parents chose to name me, hence you will always see me using my real name in forums such as this. I apologise to other users of this forum for this exchange, but this goes beyond what I find acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mone Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 And finally "skylined" My first name is Graham, my last name is Bland, hence my user name. I am proud of my heritage and what my parents chose to name me, hence you will always see me using my real name in forums such as this. I apologise to other users of this forum for this exchange, but this goes beyond what I find acceptable. Graham I am sorry you find it offensive to be called an internet troll, but that is exactly what you are doing. In relation to software development experience I have worked in the industry for almost 20 years now, this being my adult working life. Not as long as you, but what I would class at my young age as a enough to qualify me to discuss software development and delivery issues. My jobs have included Software developer, technical lead, Solutions Architect, Enterprise Architect, Consultant and IT Manager in that time. My comment that you responded to was born of two thing, first my frustration as a customer and secondly as someone with IT delivery knowledge. I agree with you that there was some uncertainty on what would be the final Microsoft release but this is a numbers game, if Corsair were serious they could have been working on a build for 8.1 using the preview for the last several months. Then when the final 8.1 was released they would be ready to go if nothing changed and if something did then they would be most likely 80 - 90% there. It was only a remote possibility that they would be back at square one. So from a management perspective not a wasted effort on their part. But in saying this I do not know what their internal resource structure or constraints are so do not have enough information to argue either way if this was possible or not and for that matter NEITHER DO YOU. So stop TROLLING Graham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 i think both of you should refrain regarding this,theres nothing to be gained and has nothing to do with a support topic. also name calling is prohibited and when registering this was agreed upon.

GrahamB Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Last post on this, but I must ask are Mone and skylined the same person under different identities? If so why? And in my posts I have I believe repeatedly said I do not have any connection with Corsair and so have no idea what their resources are, and do not have enough information to make a complete argument. "so do not have enough information to argue either way if this was possible or not and for that matter NEITHER DO YOU. So stop TROLLING Moone or skyline who ever you are.
