GEAUXTIGERS504

sounds good, I have been able to stabilize it by turning off the LED ring around the screen. Thanks for the help.

update: I noticed the ring light that goes around the LCD was only working in the bottom left corner. went into iCUE and turn the entire ring back on and the temperature began to jump. I would turn the ring light off and the temperature would go back to being stable. did it a couple times and the same thing happened.

The model I have is the H150i Elite Capellix LCD. not the new XT model.

update: uninstalled and repaired iCUE still gives me the issue. I noticed even with all the processes above ended the cooler's lights (on fans and LCD) stayed on and temps fluctuated. this didn't not happen on the first to two tests stated above. even when the iCUE was not installed the cooler lit up and began to have the temperature fluctuations. Now currently with no Corsair processes running in task manger, the lights are on with temp fluctuations. When there were no lights, there was no issues with temp fluctuations.

update: So, I booted up the pc and killed all the processes that you stated above. opened HWInfo and saw that the pump temp was stable around 30C. left it to run for 10ish minutes and when I came back temp was around 32C but stable. Sat on the 32C for a bit and it didn't have any big spikes in temp. booted iCUE and all my setting applied, and I was sitting around a steady 33C for a bout 12ish minutes. Then, it began to spike in temp from 33C to fluctuating 38C to 40C constantly. I turned all processes off again for iCUE and the temp on the LCD screen brought itself back down to 36C and has been stable ever since. I turned iCUE back on and the tempo rose up to about 38C and then to 40C and started to fluctuate.

gotcha, I'll give it a try after work and update after.

I have both, but both are not running when the cooler temp fluctuates.

update: I have started a support ticket when I wrote up this back on Wednesday, just haven't heard back yet. also yesterday just booted up the PC and the temp began to climb to about 98F before fluctuating between 96F, 98F and 102F. eventually went around to 104F, 105F ,107F. CPU seems to be doing fine. The CPU was sitting around 46C-50C, and the cooler was bugging out as stated above. Also, thanks for the reply really appreciate it.

For the past two days I have been having some issues with the H150i and fluctuating temperatures. it likes to constantly fluctuate from 105 to 109 and 111, after I start playing any game for a couple of minutes. Never had these issues before. If I keep playing a game during the fluctuations, it will start to reach temps of over 130 F and fluctuate still. Even when Idle or just browsing the internet it has been shown to fluctuate around 102-105 when it used to sit around 93-96. I did update to the new iCUE software recently but not sure if that is the issue, possibly the cooler or something else entirely.
