I was trying to update AIO firmware through iCue when the update failed and bricked my AIO, AIO RGB went dark and it disappeared from iCue. I contacted support and got a series of instruction to flash the firmware after a week. Following is Corsair support reply: """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" I'm sorry about your experience with our cooler. We may be able to fix it by flashing the firmware manually. Attached is the firmware file you'll need for this process. The failed update was most likely caused by a conflict with another device or program using your USB Controller while the update was running. Please unplug all USB devices other than Mouse/Keyboard/Cooler, and close all background tasks before starting any firmware updates. This includes any RGB Lighting, Hardware Monitoring, and Overclocking programs. A few examples are RGB Fusion, Aura Sync, Dragon Center, HWinfo64, Aida64, Ryzen Master. Please be sure to follow this video guide step-by-step: [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oW9C8fxU72U[/ame] If for any reason this fails, please disconnect the SATA power from the cooler and try again. If you have any questions at all, please let me know. """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" I tried to flash firmware after closing other RGB control and system monitoring programs, but failed to flash. Then I tried the reconnect AIO SATA method and firmware flashing worked afterwards! Although I regained AIO control in iCue, I kept hearing the annoying USB disconnect sound. After a while the AIO RGB would freeze and would not respond to lighting change in iCue. I had to shutdown the system, boot up again to unfreeze AIO RGB (Restart did not work for whatever reason). Still hearing the USB disconnecting sound and AIO RGB freezed again after a while. Then I found that it was having conflict with HWinfo, just disable monitoring on the AIO in HWinfo and the AIO worked normally under iCue control again (I disable "CPU" fan rpm under motherboard monitoring in HWinfo as well since it did not display correct pump rpm). Lastly attach the firmware of Corsair H100i Platinum SE for those who do not want to wait for a week. H100_PlatinumSE_V1.1r15.zip

My ICUE cannot override ASUS MOBO RGB control after recent software updates. I am not sure is it Corsair or ASUS but I tested this method and it works for me, no need to uninstall latest Armoury Crate or ICUE. Steps: 1. I have Armoury Crate 3.3.7.0 and ICUE 3.37.140. 2. Note that the default ASUS Plugin that comes with latest version is 1.2.1.0 (Not to be confused with the plugin that is used to control Corsair RAM) 3. You do not want 1.2.1.0, so go to this link https://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=192965, download attachment "ASUS Plugin.zip". 4. Exit ICUE Software if it is running. 5. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Corsair\CORSAIR iCUE Software\plugins 6. Back up the folder "ASUS" and cut it somewhere else (It will not work if you rename the folder and keep it under this directory, ICUE will automatically detect the latest plugin) 7. Extract the "ASUS" folder you just downloaded to C:\Program Files (x86)\Corsair\CORSAIR iCUE Software\plugins 8. Open ICUE Software, wait a few seconds for it to detect ASUS MOBO, go to "Settings" and choose MOBO tab, it should show Plug-In v.1.0.4.0 (Sometimes ICUE won't open, so go to task manager, kill ICUE and try opening it again) 9. Your ICUE rules over ASUS MOBO again:sunglasse *Do take note I tested this on ASUS ROG Strix B550-F Gaming WIFI and I do not have ASUS GPU RGB.
