This is simply not true. Please don't try to blame the issue on something else again. I can confirm that simply shutting down iCUE won't fully resolve the issues. They get less, but they are still present. The only thing that actually helps stop the problem is uninstalling iCUE. As soon as you do this, all problems will be gone. Which is undeniable evidence that it is iCUE that is at fault here.

Changing your motherboard will not fix the iCUE software issues is what I am saying. Maybe, if you're lucky. But that's a pretty expensive lottery.

Don't change your motherboard. This is clearly an issue with the iCUE software (and this is not the only thread about it on this forum). Corsair decides to do nothing about it and blame it on everything else but their own software. If you are thinking about switching out hardware, replace your H100i with an AIO by another brand.

Of course... blame something else. 1. System works perfectly fine 2. Install iCUE 3. System is screwed 4. Uninstall iCUE 5. System works fine again 6. Blame it on Windows Makes sense.

My problems were resolved after a complete re-install of Windows 10. For now.

Hi guys, I recently bought a Corsair H150i watercooler and installed iCUE. Whenever iCUE is running, my USB freaks out. A mouse connected to an USB 2.0 port freezes constantly and a USB Speaker/DAC plays static noise instead of sound briefly before it disconnects. When iCUE is not running, everything is fine. So it's clearly an iCUE issue. I've seen many other threads with similar issues (iCue + USB), some years old, but apparently none were ever resolved. So I am posting a new thread here as a "me too", hoping someone may have a solution to this. Also, do I need to keep iCUE running in order for the H150i to work properly? Thanks
