Aliothale

That's why I have a custom fan curve, 900rpm flat on a 280mm AIO from 0-65c and then slowly ramping to 1300 up to 85c. The CPU will never go over 65c during any light task, idles at 29-30c and occasionally hits 40-50c during regular use. This is a gaming/everyday profile. Since iCue dropped my CPU sensor and started using liquid temp.. the fans never ramped up.. and my CPU was roasting itself when gaming in highly CPU demanding games like Vermintide 2.. which utilizes 60-90% of 17 worker threads on my 10c/20t i9-10850k OC'd. You should understand this is Corsairs fault, not mine. I trusted their product.. and it failed me. This isn't user error, this is developer error.

I was on iCue 4, with an H110i v2. Don't tell me what my PC is or isn't doing, I know exactly what's going on. Sure, ideally setting fan curves based on liquid temp is a good idea.. but when you are aiming for silent fan operation it's hard to fine tune it. There's nothing wrong with using CPU temps for fan control on an AIO and anyone who's told you different is a fool. The default fan profiles in iCue are a joke. Happy? I responded to your dumb questions that made no difference.

This was obviously a major issue with iCue as I found tons of posts and concerns about it from late last year. It dropped my CPU sensor completely and used the custom fan curve for liquid temp instead. Obviously.. if the scale is 20-100c for liquid temp, and the curve is set for CPU temp.. then it's going to sit at the flat 900rpm I set for 20-65c CPU temps since the liquid won't really go over 33c. I fixed the issue by completely uninstalling iCue, using CCleaner to clean the registry leftovers and reinstalled iCue fresh. Apparently this was the result of a Windows update and Corsair didn't update their digital certificates. So my CPU has been roasting itself for nearly 7 months. This is completely inexcusable and I'm replacing it with a Lian Li AIO in 2 days. iCue has been nothing but a buggy headache for years and Corsair has sold out for profits. Long gone are the days of intuitive engineering and minimalistic design, instead opting for RGB puke and ditching customers component support before the products lifespan ends.

I've been wondering why my CPU temps have been outrageously high. I have a 5ghz i9-10850k running on a custom fan curve and noticed my AIO fans haven't been spinning up for quite some time. I didn't think anything of it until recently.. low and behold.. my CPU sensor doesn't show up in iCue and my AIO's been running at 900rpm flat while my CPU is roasting itself at 90+c. I've updated my software and still no CPU sensor option. I'll never trust Corsair again or buy another Corsair product.. thank god I've been using Lian Li to build other peoples PC's lately. This is absurd, I've been noticing a lot of my games have been running worse lately.. if this damaged my CPU I'll be sending Gamer's Nexus a full report on the matter. RIP Corsair, - Loyal customer for 15 years lost.

Oh cool, I can't even edit my OP for spelling errors. I guess the new forums are working about as well as iCue software >.>

Seriously, I'm done with Corsair. I've been trying to troubleshoot the issue short of completely reinstalling Windows again. If anyone has any idea how to fix this I'll listen. I've put tens of thousands of dollars worth of Corsair components in PC builds over the years and I'm constantly frustrated by how crap the software is. At this point I'm more likely to use/build/recommend Razer over Corsair.. and frankly that's a fair assessment judging by how many people are constantly having issues with iCue software. iCue hangs, iCue crashes, iCue freezes PC, works fine, doesn't work, spins fans sporadically, breaks lighting on other Corsair peripherals.. I'm just about done with you Corsair. That's something I never thought would happen. How does your software even duplicate 4 additional fans causing the 2 to just spin up and down like crazy when idle? Like WTF?! Then iCue 4 doesn't even detect my AIO. I haven't had this much of a headache with peripheral software since early synapse days. Get your crap together Corsair because you can only milk the newcomers for so long. You loyal customers have been leaving in droves to greener pastures. You do know your brand is where it is because of quality products and word of mouth? Well the only words coming out of peoples mouths lately are companies doing it better than you. If this makes me reinstall Windows I'm just going to order a new Lian Li case, cooler, and fans and completely be done with your brand. TLDR; iCue sucks, is duplicating a 2 fan AIO into 6 different fans causing sporadic spin up/down while idle.

What gives? It never used to hit my CPU at all.. with the recent update it's constantly using 13% or more. I'm noticing stutters in my games and occasional hitching too since this recent update. The core that is running iCue is running at 55c while my others are at 40c-45c which means my CPU is being constantly pegged by the program. When I close iCue all my temps go down to 35-37c on all 4 cores. This software has been a nuisance for the last year and if this kind of crap is going to continue I'm just going to start buying alternative products. It took months for you to fix necro macros from older Corsair software and now this nonsense is happening.

I believe this is an old Macro I created for PUBG like 2 years ago for a crouch jump on the old software. I deleted it 2 years ago too. How is it even possible to be affecting the new iCUE software 2 years later?

Everytime I press Esc my k70 types ~hj This is stupidly annoying as it opens console commands everytime I hit ESC. This started happening just recently. Any suggestions how to fix it? Closing iCUE solves the problem.
