    Seriously? I mean SERIOUSLY? My PC nearly burnt out and it was a god damn certificate issue? WTH Corsair. And you wonder why year after year people criticise your software.

    I have three PC's. A Z97, a Z390 and a Z690. Two Gigabytes and one Asus. They all run Windows 10 Pro. Apart from that they have nothing in common. All are allowed to automatically updated Windows Pro by themselves. iCEU was different on all three. None were running 209. Auto update of iCEU was disabled on all three PC's. All three computers failed on the same day ( 17th ). They were definitely working on the 16th. I tried uninstalling and re-installing. Didn't work. Tried doing that again, manually deleting folders and using a registry editor to wipe all information from iCEU. Didn't work. Tried going back to older versions of iCEU. Didn't work. Tried the fix that someone mentioned earlier ( running the corsair executable ) and that worked until the PC was rebooted. Then tried installing the very latest version of iCEU (209) - that worked on all three PC's. To me this must be a Windows Update or there was a dated bug placed in iCEU that has been there for years. Same here on the fix and on the sensors. I have different video cards in each of the PC's I have and in all of them the sensor count has changed. Some have two, some have three temperature sensors, apparently. I am not sure about the motherboards, they seems to have way too many as well. My Asus motherboard on one PC has 18 temperature sensors according to iCEU. I really don't know how many it has but I am sure it's not 18!! What a mess. For heavens sake Corsair.

    4.18.209 was the version that fixed it for me. All three of my PC's failed at the same time so it must have been a Windows update. If the version mentioned doesn't fix it, an alternative is maybe to uninstall the most recent updates to Windows.

    Checking my third PC that had failed as well. In the absence of any temperature sensor it was actually running the fans according to the PSU temperature which was allowing the system to grossly overheat. No alarms were generated, if I didn't monitor temperatures myself I would never even have noticed. Upgrading to the latest version fixed the issue. I am honestly sick of Corsair iCEU failings. I am downgrading the Commander Pro's I have to secondary functions. The simple fact is that anything that takes care of cooling absolutely must not fail - even if there is a Windows update - and Corsairs track record with iCEU is they simply can not get it to be reliable. I am very disappointed. iCEU is such a great idea, let down by bad software design and even worse coding and testing.

    Install the latest version The problem was happening on all versions today for some reason, except the latest. If you install the latest version it corrects the problem. This has sorted the issue on two out of my three PC's. If you hear no more from me then it worked on the third too!

    I have two other PC's. The sensors have disappeared from those as well. Will post more if the same fix works.

    Mine is now working again. Running the service manually seemed to do something to iceu itself and it is now running correctly even when I reset the PC. I would appreciate some comment from Corsair though this is actually really worrying. A random total failure of iCEU could completely destroy my PC. There should be some sort of check on iCEU that alarms if there something has drastically changed.

    Well I must admit the times to not correspond to the update. The update for me was on the 15th yet I was running the PC on the 16th just fine. It was today the 17th that everything went wrong. The PC had been reset at 2am on the 17th and was working fine. It was some time half way through the 17th that the problem happened. Now it just will not work without manually running the Service routine. I have also tried several different version of iCEU going back to 3.17.94 and none of the work. It does smack of some system change.
  9. Pocah
    To me it looks like the Windows update.

    I find it very suspicious that this has happened to so many people at the same time. It's happened to me too. I started up the PC today and ICEU can no longer detect any sensors. It nearly burnt my PC out. I uninstalled ICEU, tried older versions, nothing works. I cleared the registry. Nothing works. Eventually I checked out this forum topic and sure enough the suggested fix works. What is going on Corsair. Can we have a permanent fix to this urgently???

    I am assuming here what's going on is the psu is just making coil noise under load. Windows may well know when the monitor us unplugged which could drop the power consumption. Gaming, the noise will be dependent on frame-rate, which will change according to the direction you are looking in. It's not uncommon to find that PSU's develop this behavior as they age. I had an RM750X that did exactly the same thing.
  12. Pocah
    I am not sure what you are expecting anyone to say. Components of a PC are a bit like cars these days, you don't replace a cog in the gearbox, you replace the entire gearbox. If there is something wrong with the PSU, I am pretty sure, at least on any forum, all the advice will be to replace the PSU. The only other option is to do what you say can not be done, which is to return it under warranty.

    The first two at higher frequency and slower timings, the last one is lower frequency and faster timings. This really comes down to personal choice. I am not an AMD expert at all, but there is a certain range of frequencies that you can choose for a CPU but the higher you go the more risk you are taking that it won't work and you will have to fiddle with it a bit to get it to work ( which you may want to avoid ). This is not down to the RAM rather it is down to your CPU and Motherboard. If you are very uncertain about memory I would just look in the Ausus compatibility list and choose a memory from there. The bottom two memories you mentioned are recommended. Which one you choose is up to you. The bottom one has the lowest, safest frequency, the top one has the highest, slightly more risky frequency.

    I am not a RAM expert but I think this is true. The problem is as much down to the motherboard and CPU as it is anything else. They need to remove the current bottlenecks to allow things to go faster and this is not just changing the RAM. Intel tried to do this some years ago by creating serial RAM. A bit like the SATA interface it seemed illogical but it actually increased access times to disks because serial interfaces can run much faster than parallel interfaces.

    The memory will work at that speed, but what a lot of folks buying memory don't realise is that even when you select the XMP profile you are overclocking parts of your motherboard and CPU, which might not work overclocked. There is always a risk with anything other than the standard ( non XMP ) memory that your PC will not work with it. In that case you have to fiddle the settings to get the best performance you can.

    It's wise to check if it is in stock before you order. Stock deliveries are patchy at the moment thanks to Covid. I ended up spending a lot more than I wanted to, to get one that was actually in stock. However, delivery was extremely fast indeed. Corsair sent it same day on 24 hour delivery. But don't forget that was a month ago before Brexit happened and now there may well be complications at the airports. If the item is out of stock you might as well sit on the order because everyone is in the same boat. Power supplies, and many other components right now are hard to come by.
  17. Pocah
    Yes, I buy them because they don't have that dreaded lump of heatshrink on near the connectors that's impossibly ugly and inflexible, lol. I know it's a lot of money but it is lost in the cost of a good PC.

    For PCIe type three and four are the same. For future reference the only difference between 3 and 4 is the big cable that connects to your motherboard so it doesn't affect the PCIe at all.

    Shh! Don't let corsair here this, but I am a fan of iCEU but at the same time I don't let it automatically update. If necessary I block it in the firewall. The reason is pretty simple, if it works, DON'T FIX IT! And if it doesn't work then just find and go back to the previous version. Corsair are terrible for releasing bugged versions of iCEU.
  20. Pocah
    Have you switched off all overclocking? Including the fact that many Asus Z390 motherboards by default overclock the CPU by switching all cores to maximum. Even selecting XMP is overclocking the motherboard.
  21. Pocah
    Fixed it. Seems that Commander Pro needed an update
  22. Pocah
    Ah, solved it. No particular fix, on the 12309th attempt it worked. Everything is fine now.
  23. Pocah
    By deleting the all the old profiles it's now working - sorta - there are two issues left which I have raised in separate threads.
  24. Pocah
    It just drops out of iCEU when I try to update Commander Pro. It seems to get 1/3 of the way then just drops out. Anyone know why this might happen? Is there a manual way? I tried to download the update and it just downloaded iCEU again.
  25. Pocah
    Runs normally then crashes out when I try to close my PC. Have updated to the latest version. Anyone any clue? this doesn't happen if I exit iCEU. Only if I switch the PC off. I was using an older version and the problem didn't change when I updated to the lastest.
