[LL120 Fans flickering after startup]

I agree.

I figured it a while ago but didnt have an account here. The flickering in my case looked like it was switching between default led effect (when there is no app running) and the effects i chose in corsair icue. After pc restart it was always fine.

 

I tried to close windows by using shift + click (hard shut down) for a few days and the problem didnt occurr even once. Didn`t know there is a feature like in the video you mentioned. It saved me the trouble.

 

Would be nice if corsair worked on that so we wouldnt need to turn windows features off tho.

 

Thanks.

 

Need to correct myself.

Sadly the flickering still occurs. Less frequently but still...

[LL120 Fans flickering after startup]

I might have found a possible reason this problem is occuring to some.

 

I happen to have an Asus Maximus X code motherboard which has a LED code display which displays codes to determine possible issues with hardware.

Normally when a system is done booting the code should be 'A0' This code means that the boot sequence test was completed and the OS was given control.

Most of the time however, the display would show me a Code '40'. This means the PC awoke from a S4 sleep state. In short this is a mode which allows Windows to boot faster after a complete shutdown by saving system info and then starting from there the next time you boot your PC.

Occasionally though my motherboard WOULD properly display the 'A0' code and when it did my Corsair RGB settings would load as normal. Something it didn't do when the final code was '40'.

 

I think 'Icue' causes problems when waking a PC out of a sleep mode. Be it a deep sleep S4 or an ordinary sleep mode.

Luckely the S4 feature can be disabled in Windows 10. The guy in this Youtube video will explain it. I tried it and it works perfectly.

 

 

There is a downside to this though. Windows 10 might boot a little slower than your used to. I personally don't think this is a big problem and I don't really notice it much either.

Also this doesn't seem to be a solution when waking from normal sleep mode. This is still a problem to me.

 

Hope this helps some people. It beats quiting the service in taskmanager on every startup.

 

EDIT: If disabling S4 in Windows settings doesn't work for you, S4 can usually be disabled in your BIOS settings as well. It can usually be found in your boot settings.
