  1. Yes, custom curves cause this issue. It's likely not a harware issue. but I want custom curve for more quite setup :D:
  2. This happens to me as well. only after I wake my computer from sleep mode after a long time. I have to restart the service TWICE to get it back to working.
  3. A little story and a lesson i learned in hard way. This happened to me long time ago. But i thought i just share it :) While i was stress testing to see if my OC was stable, i decided to change the pump speed to see how it affects CPU temps. Just when i applied new speed, system froze... unstable OC, BSOD. It didn't take too long until i noticed my CPU was running at 800Mhz, super slow. Could not boot into windows. even in bios it was struggling to run. Temp was at 100C! Basically pump speed was set to 0... what a mess! So i shutdown my PC, plugged out all power cables, waited like 10 minutes for pump to cool down. (It was really warm!) Then i tried to get into windows, I only had a few minutes before the CPU reached 100C again and shutdown itself. So again after 10 minutes i reduced Vcore voltage as low as it made sense! Finally i could get into windows and set pump speed back to Quiet mode. And there i revived my cooler :3 Not to be paranoid or anything, just make sure your system is stable before changing the pump speed. Because it can be a PITA if you get unlucky... That cooler is still running good though ;) ---- My suggestion to Corsair is to include hard reset button on their coolers because that would be really handy for cases like this.
  4. Fans don't have to run aggressively on water cooled system, it wont damage your CPU if fans are not running according to the curve. In my experience fans did not stop in any scenario, for me they actually run faster when iCUE freezes. The CPU also protects it self from being damaged if it reaches very high temps.
  5. Ok, that was an unfair argument. But if this is really the issue then developers should setup an arrangement and come up with one solution. Nonetheless iCUE temp monitoring stops working entirely. At least that can be solved and will be a good temporary fix. If reading from a sensor fails basically wait 1-2 seconds and try again. Catching exceptions should be easy. At least in C# they are!
  6. "Some sensors can only have one device accessing them at a time." We are in 2019. They are going to make 7nm chips, planing to go to moon and mars... this is just ridiculos! It can be easily solved even if only one device can access sensors at a time. A single service that basically monitors all sensors and other programs should accept this as an standard to only request sensor values from this service. Its a very simple design problem...
  7. I understand that fans don't have direct impact on CPU temp. So lets calculate. Quiet mode, 28C is the idle for coolant and CPU, running stress test gives 75C CPU temp, that's 47C difference (4.5 GHz 1.296 Vcore) so it means coolant temp shouldn't reach 33C for CPU to stay below 80C in worst possible scenario? AFAIK coolant max temp was 37C after 24 hour stress test in quiet mode so CPU temp would be 84C in worst case, i think that's acceptable. They could just make thin but wider CPU's, there is plenty of space, by larger i mean spread the cores in wider area instead of packing them hard together.
  8. CorsairLink had this option to set fans at maximum when CPU reached certain temp. That option was useless, why? because I had to restart it manually when CPU temps dropped and it was really annoying. What I want from iCUE is to set fans at maximum if CPU temp reached 80 and it should go back to normal state when temp reaches below 80. I know radiator fans should be set according to Water pump temp but CPU temp is also important, if it reaches 80 I will know that something is wrong :!:. It could be a power virus or pump failure etc. Where is this feature? if this feature does not exist please add it, thanks :) --- Edit: Please also add Step-up and Step-down option. for example Step-up of 2 seconds means if CPU temp went 80 for more than 2 seconds, then set fans to max. and similarly Step-down of 2 seconds means if CPU temp was below 80 for more than 2 seconds go back to normal state.
  9. @Greybeard Thank you very much, hope it gets fixed soon. After logging for long time (a week or two), here are the errors that caught up. not sure if it helps but i post it in case if it helps. I did run other monitoring software's during this process sometimes. but i believe iCUE should be immune to crashes (that's when you use try-catch statement!)

  10. I see, yeah it's powered correctly, CPU q fan control is disabled. It was not powered correctly for a few minutes though, the times that i was configuring the bios :) Thanks for the reply. good to know that it doesn't affect life span.
  11. there are two profiles for H100i v2 pump speed. Quiet and Extreme(or Performance) mode. Quiet mode runs at ~1800 and Extreme mode runs at ~2800 rpm. I see no difference in temps, can a decent fellow please :D: explain why faster flow doesn't reduce the temps. and what benefit does it provide other than just running faster and wasting more power and reducing the life span of cooler? What's the point? what made engineers to do this decision?
  12. Im pretty sure the problem is not iCUE... I haven't got BSOD except when i tried to overclock too much. did you overclock your system? Im pretty sure you can ask for refund or get your product fixed if you got a faulty hardware. but chances to get faulty hardware from corsair are very unlikely.
  13. I have to admit though, with 3.14 version of the software this issue triggers less often i think.
  14. Thank you for your support. I don't know the root of stuck temp issue, conflicts mentioned by Devbiker maybe the root of this problem though. I just wan't this problem to go away because my fans won't run at the required speed if temp reading gets stuck. some times radiator fans run faster or slower than necessary because they are, well ... stuck! Devbiker, thanks for the explanation. so if we can't have crunchy orange, can we hide this orange in a box so no one except iCUE can see it? that will be the easiest fix i think. cheers :)
  15. I turned off my leds because of this. As a programmer I doubt that this can be done for H100i v2, since the firmware can't be updated and if it is just programmed for certain tasks (static color and a simple condition for high temp) then it really is not possible. at least you can't directly program it to do the cycling or breathing animation. that means the cooler cant do that by it self and you need a program constantly changing the colors. if the firmware is capable to do animations then it's strange why corsair don't let us do this, sort of disappointing. the cooler is nice though :)
