H100i and Windows 8.1

[Romulus]

There are a million and one posts on here with regards to CorsairLink not recognising both Fans and Pump on the H100i.

 

After reading through, my impression is that there is a fix out there, but it does not include Win 8.1

 

I have updated the Firmware to 1.07, that was tricky, I had to start CorsairLink, then (while it is still running) change from one USB header to the next on my Maximus V Formula, I suppose it would work just unplugging then plugging back in too. Once this is done, Corsair Link recognises the Fans, the Pump, and the LED and it allows you to make alterations and 'Update Firmware'. Once you close it down or log off, you have to go back through the whole changing of USB headers to get it working again.

 

Windows 8.1 gave me grief with games too, there is a power saving option in the USB properties which allows the MOBO to put USB ports to sleep when not in use; however, they were shutting down my mouse and keyboard in the middle of a game.

 

Anyway, is there a patch for 8.1????

 

P.S. Forgot to mention, I am an Aussie and am new to this forum.

 

Cheers

Still waiting on Corsair to post an updated CorsairLink.

 

There is a workaround for Win 8.1 Found here - http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=120962

 

Note the changes you make, reset them back later before doing the Link update when it comes out.

I'm also waiting for Corsair to give the green light on an update that works 100% fine with windows 8.1 before I update to 8.1.

i think your exaggerating just a teenie bit but i understand your grief.

corsair announced just the other day that their in the final testing stages for a software release.

On my rig (LGA 2011 Xeon, Supermicro Mainboard) I just had to disable the Enhanced Power Management of the USB Board. Infact disabling also the other entries made the H100i also not work.

 

Instead of:

AllowIdleIrpInD3 = 0

DeviceSelectiveSuspended = 0

EnhancedPowerManagementEnabled = 0

 

It does work with:

AllowIdleIrpInD3 = 1

DeviceSelectiveSuspended = 1

EnhancedPowerManagementEnabled = 0

 

I also found a note from Microsoft stating that this is an issue with a couple of USB devices (disconnecting, reconnecting). Pretty simple fix is to include the deactivation into the *.inf file of the installing Programm.

I'd like to be able to go to that source you referred to "in the final testing stages...", as I keep checking in the forums every week or so but it gets very convoluted to be sure. I pm'd an administrator over a week ago and haven't heard back as well. Any help to keep tabs on the update would be much appreciated! Thanks!
