It seems to me that the "save to device" and "hardware lighting" pretty much do the same thing. They could probably add the hardware lighting box to the lighting effects drop down on the K70. I'm guessing the save to device is still needed for macros or custom key mapping (not sure I haven't messed with that).
-
I can't find the hardware lightingoption on the Vengeance RGB Pro or K70. Am I missing something?
Not sure about the Vengeance RGB Pro, but for the K70 you click on the K70 on the home screen, then on profiles and select a blacked out profile, then click the little memory card looking button that says "Save Static Lighting and Performance to Device."

Im hoping that this can also work for the H150i pro soon...
It does work for the H150i pro. :biggrin:

Wow, they fixed it in 3.10.125. I've only tested it a little, but so far so good. I can now set a lighting profile that is active while the PC is unlocked and set another (blacked out) in "hardware lighting" and they shut off when the PC is locked.
The only odd thing is the orientation of the lights in "Pong" seems different. Not a big deal though. I'll mess with it more later.
Looks like I won't be selling after all. Probably going to have to pick up a few more fans and commander pro.

Same issue, but it occurs when I wake from putting the PC to sleep.
After investing several hundred dollars into the Corsair ecosystem (fans, LED strips, commander pros) - I’m a little frustrated that I have to reboot to get my system out of “rainbow puke”.
Not what I expected from Corsair.
If this is a known issue, why no communication - much less a solution?
Good to know it does coming out of sleep as well.
I just saw that it was hinted at in the other thread that there is a solution in the works, but that's about as close to communication as we've recieved.

NDA's suck at times.. really does limit how one can reply in a support type of way at times....but.
Hold tight... really... hold tight man.... ;) ;) all I can say is.. if you was on a rocket to the moon.. you are already in the Moon Landing Craft. and preparing to slow your orbit down ready to land ;).. you will soon be saying "one small step for iCue one giant leap for RGB kind"
as DevB has already said.... things are being worked on and have been since before this thread started ;). we are limited on what we are allowed to say Dude.

Can you explain how you did this ? Does it disable all lighting effects or just when the computer is locked ? I want to buy 6 LL fans but like you I cant stand the rainbow effects on lock or boot. But I guess boot I might be able to deal with as my pc is NVME and boots in 3 seconds :)
You have to use the old Link software if you want to keep your lighting profile while the computer's locked.
To turn them off you set them to static color and change the RGB colors to 0,0,0. You don't actually need to adjust the brightness. If you want the lighting effects back on you have to go back in and change them to the desired lighting profile. Running the old Link limits the amount of stuff you can do with them. iCue has a lot of neat features, but it's useless to those of us who keep our PCs on 24/7 and can't stand rainbow barf.
If you can shut down or put the PC to sleep it's not a problem.

any news on this? it's quite annoying :(
I agree, I wish they would at least comment on the issue and maybe give an estimate of when/if it will be fixed. It's not looking very promising. I'll give it another month before I sell my LL fans and look for an alternative to the H150i.
-
From what I understand, they are looking at a solution for this.
Technically, it's not a bug as it's "by design" and "to spec". However, I would agree that the spec wasn't quite right in this case. I'd like to see a solution to this as well.
I agree. It's pretty annoying having to use outdated software. I'm still holding off buying a Commander Pro and another 6 LL fans until it's fixed. :[pouts:
If they're really against having an active USB connection on the lock screen (I think that's what I read, could be wrong) I would even be ok with a new version of the lighting node pro that can have a lighting profile saved to it like the keyboards can. Call it the Lighting Node Pro+.:D: Though I think it would probably be easier and cheaper just to implement it like it is in Link.

Interesting. I think the brightness slider is the key. Smart work-around.
I just tested with the brightness slider on full bright and the color still on black and it still works the same.

iCUE has no support for cooler/Commander Pro/LNP device memory. It will override any color settings you have saved to those devices when it looses contact with the software, quit, lock, boot, wake, etc. That is something I would like to see change in near future and was present in Link.
Good to know. I'd like to see that change as well.
However, I am surprised the LL ever behaved on the lock screen with Link. The LL fans need to be in contact with the software to do their thing, or they default to their demo mode/rainbow color scheme. Regardless, you may be better off going back to Link/CUE. for a while. I do the same at times, particularly when I need to run without that software and don't want to get hit with rainbows in the face.
I just set a static black color with the brightness down on the LL fans and the H150i in Link and it seems to stay when the computer locks and the screens turn off.

I cant speak to the fans, but unless you prevent lock mode and keep it on and turn your monitor off, or just turn your pc off, i dont think there is a fix? would love to know if there is a fix
Disabling the lock is a bad idea. The PC is also my media server and runs 24/7. I appreciate the suggestions though. I'm guessing I'll just have to uninstall iCUE again and go back to Cue/Link as they seem to work fine when locked.

My PC is in the same room I sleep in so I set the lights to black when I lock the computer. With ICue when the PC goes to the lock screen my 3 LL fans (Lighting Node Pro) and H150 Pro go into rainbow mode. This isn't an issue with Cue/Link. Any ideas?

That makes sense. I believe I set mine up in a previous version and haven't tried it on 3.10+.
