Hi all,
I'm having some trouble getting iCue to recognise a newly purchased and installed H115i Pro XT RGB. The pump lights have lit up and are cycling through (what I assume) to be a standard rainbow cycle, the pump is cooling well after configuring it in my motherboard's BIOS and 2x Noctua NF-A14s I've attached to the radiator and Corsair Commander Pro are running fine.
Cooling wise I'm pleased, however I cannot get iCue to recognise it in order to monitor pump speed and customise RGB. If it helps, here's my PC's spec [running latest Windows 10]:
Ryzen 5 5600X
Gigabyte Aorus X570I
Crucial Ballistix 2x8GB 3600Mhz CL16
Sabrent Rocket 1TB NVME (TLC) [boot drive, various other drives for game and recording libraries]
Corsair SF600 Platinum PSU
PowerColor Red Devil Radeon RX 6700 XT
Cooler Master NR200P (using vented side panel and horizontal GPU layout)
Corsair Commander Pro, attached are:
2x NF-A12x15 bottom intakes,
2x NF-A14 side intakes (H115i rad) &
2x Cooler Master Sickle Flow fans exhausting up top.
H115i Pro XT RGB in the USB 1 header
Monitoring and controlling fan speeds and component temperature is fine through the Commander Pro in iCue. However, the H115i Pro XT RGB refuses to show up. So far I've tried:
-Disbaled fast boot and XM-something hand off under USB settings in motherboard BIOS (following a post on Corsair forums),
-Updated motherboard's chipset drivers to latest,
-Reinstalled iCue 4 (per Corsair's clean install guide),
-Installed the iCue v3.x on the H115i Pro XT RGB's product page under 'Support - Downloads',
-Using USBDeview to try and locate H115i (no success, can see Commander Pro as only Corsair device),
-Windows 10 Device Manager that reveals 'Corsair composite virtual device' which apparently has the latest/most optimised drivers - possibly Commander Pro?
-No micro-USB cable on hand small enough to plug into the back of the motherboard to see if it's a Commander Pro compatibility issue. It would press against and possibly damage the RAM modules.
Any further troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated. I have read this is a problem on AMD systems and if it requires an RMA I'd rather avoid it. Also other users who have experienced the same problem have reported plugging their case USB into the Commander Pro's USB header and pump usb directly into the motherboard has solved the issue - I'd rather avoid this due to further cable management and tinkering after squeezing the H115i into the NR200.
The cooler is running seemingly fine and I'm content with performance. It would just be nice to see it in iCue and customise colour schemes - this is also why I went for the H115i over NZXT X63 (in my girlfriend's SSUPD Mesh system) and Cooler Master 280mm AIO due to already having the Commander Pro for 6 fans. At the end of the day I can't actually see the cooler behind the rad on the side bracket and am pleased with performance - lowest temps I've seen since building this sysytem, was previously using a Noctua NH-U9S which I've kept in case this AIO bricks.
EDIT 1: I should mention the motherboard (Gigabyte Aorus X570I) has only 2 USB headers - 1 for case and 1 for other components. I've the NR200 front panel USB plugged into larger and Commander Pro plugged into smaller.
