Hi all,
Literally just created an account to post and +1 this topic.
My 3770k (@4.2GHz stable) is being permanently used at ~2% by iCUE software and even though it seems commonly accepted, I find this far too high. No other software is using that much permanent CPU while in background managing 'background' small tasks. For sure I don't really need those 2% of CPU but would expect something more classic for this, like <0.02% when in background only.
Using x86 iCUE v3.28.70 (latest at this date), managing:
- H100i v2 watercooling
- K55 keyboard (firmware v30.08 - latest at this date)
iCUE settings:
Only 'Start on system startup' and 'Show only connected devices' are checked
OSD disabled
Dashboard not used nor configured
Sensor logging not configured nor started
iCUE dashboard settings:
Everything unchecked but still seems to gather info in the background anyway
H100i v2 config:
Lighting effects: set to static color and "Temperature Warning" function unchecked
Customized performance profile set for H100i v2 fans
"Extreme" profile set for water pump
Graphing: enabled but I can't disable it
Notifications: not configured
K55 config:
Actions: 1 macro configured (rarely used)
Lighting effects: set to static color
Performance: everything unchecked
Computer:
W10 Pro x64 running on a dedicated Samsung 860 EVO SSD
MB Asus P8P67 Deluxe
CPU i7 3770k (@4.2GHz stable)
RAM 32GB 1600MHz
GPU GTX 970
PS 650W
5 fans FWIW (2x140mm front, 2x120mm for H100i v2, 1x120mm rear)
No other monitoring tool running, and even when I run Core Temp and/or SpeedFan and/or Intel XTU, I can see no change in the CPU used by iCUE
Anyone else feeling the same?
Cheers
