[H100i PRO XT RGB not working?]

Hi I've installed my H100i cooling system but the RGBs don't light up on the main section. The micro usb cable to USB 2 header is connected.

I swapped SATA connectors around and iCUE is installed.

 

Thanks :)

 

p.s i'm running 550w psu with ryzen 5 3600x geforce 1660

 

For me, my RGB lights didn't light up until I used a 5-wire SATA power connector from my PSU.

[New H100i RGB, works but pump LED's not working.]

I ran into the same issue until I used a 5-wire SATA power connector. Right after I plugged the cooler to a 5-wire SATA connector, the RGBs lit up.

[h115i Platinum firmware update crashed pump]

(SOLVED) I finally managed to unbrick my H115i Platinum RGB !!!

It bricked during firmware update via iCue. RGB turned off, fans went full throttle, and the pump stopped. The usual recipe. It wasn't easy to fix, but works better than taking it out to send it for warranty/repair.

Imma give you the steps, and i hope as many people see this.

1. Search your C: drive for a "H115_Platinum" .hex file. It's a longer name, but you can find it by searching like this. Copy the file to a handy location, like Desktop for example, and rename it to leave only "H115_Platinum_version number.hex"

2. Restart windows in safe mode (F4 option during recovery startup).

3. Make sure none of the Corsair processes did not start, if so, CTRL+SHIFT+ESC and close them.

4. Go to Services (CTRL+SHIFT+ESC -> Services -> Open Services) and DISABLE the Corsair Services. (3 of them)

5. Go to Corsair installation folder (C:/program files...) and locate the following application (do not open it!) XMCBOOTLOADER.EXE.

6. DRAG AND DROP the .hex file from step 1 over the XMCBOOTLOADER.EXE. The app should now connect to the bootloader, and force push the firmware upgrade.

 

If you get an error during first time, do not panic! For mine, it worked on 3rd try! Reboot safemode, make sure all the processes and services from corsair are ended/disabled.

When it will work, unicorn barf will light up instantly, and the fans will go to quiet mode.

 

ALSO, when you want to upgrade the firmware via iCue (very risky), do it in safe mode!

Some processes interfere with the connection between the AIO and iCue (HWInfo, Steam, Logitech control app)

 

Thank you very much for this info!

 

I experienced no RGB, waterpump failure, and fans running at 100% after updating my iCUE H100i Pro XT to the latest iCUE software & firmware at the same setting.

 

Fortunately, I was able to manually re-flash the firmware and by running on an older version of iCUE (3.28.70 instead of 3.29.110), my H100i Pro XT is running normally again.

 

I can't believe Corsair has released such a buggy update. :mad:
