It has been a few days and I have tested just about EVERYTHING including formatting and reinstalling OS and drivers. As soon as the iCUE detected the Nexus things started acting up again with the same reported soft hang. The Nexus will be unplugged for the time being. Neither iCUE 3.x nor 4.x corrected the issue. My system is 100% stable as long as the Nexus is not plugged in. All other peripherals and software are working just fine. Crazy waste of time and money. It is apparent that this device did not get much QA before release. I will be reviewing the product and warning future customers... it is NOT ready for prime time. -J

you are not alone @stevvie. The hardware is great but the software is too intrusive. They try to compete in areas that they are not strong in. How hard is it to add an advanced tab that users can use to disable portions of the software that conflict with other applications. I for one LOVE my Aida64 Sensor Panel, but there is a conflict with iCUE polling the same sensors. Why for the love of god does Corsair insist on polling sensors to populate a very tiny nexus screen? or a dashboard that NO ONE uses? Just tell me how to disable the Corsair.Service.CpuIdRemote64.exe service and I will go quietly. It is entirely too frustrating to have more that $10,000 invested in a computer and it be complete rendered useless by a $60 commander Pro? I love my K100 and Dark Core Pro, but it is just not worth the headache trying to get the RGB working using a software that hangs the computer randomly. Stability>Pretty. I spent over $1600 in Corsair products for this build... Buyers Remorse... will sell on ebay cheap soon.

I have been seeing the same issues as current as today. But not just with the nexus plugged in. In fact if iCUE is installed my PC hangs randomly... sometimes in less than 5 minutes from boot, others in a couple hours. I completely rebuilt a new PC and as soon as I installed iCUE... CRASH. Unless Corsair has something coming, all this stuff is going back. iCUE 3.x and 4.x exhibit the same random hangs. I strongly suspect the corsair service that is running and polling sensors. I have a 10 core 10900K that seems stable with just the commander and a M65. But my main workstation has a 28Core W-3175X. Perhaps that is too many sensors to poll? I have tried removing each part one by one but even with only the software running the crashes will happen. Installed corsair hardware includes: K100 Nexus Dark Core Pro Commander Pro MM800 5 QL Fans and ARGB light strips Basically the works Is a shame because it looks so cool just before it dies. but I would rather have a PC that works instead of a pretty door stop. Anyone have some suggestions besides the obvious firmware and patches? So far that has been a bust. Thanks!
