Sorry for the missing information. Here it is: iCUE devices HX1000i Commander Pro (4x120mm LL RGB Series fans) H115i Platinum (2x140mm LL RGB Series fans) 32 GB 3200 MHz DDR4 Venegance RGB Pro RAM PC specs Case: Corsair Obsidian 500D RGB SE Board: MSI MEG Z390 ACE Bios: Version E7B12IMS.150 VGA: MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Ti SEA HAWK X 11GB PSU: Corsair HX1000i CPU: Intel Core i7-8086K MEM: Corsair Venegance RGB 3200MHz CL16 4x8 GB HDD: 1 x Samsung 950-series PRO 512GB M.2 NVMe, 1 x Western Digital Red 4 TB, 1 x Seagate IronWolf 10 TB Cooler: Corsair Hydro H115i Platinum OC CPU: 5.1 GHz - vCore 1.33V OC GPU: 2000-2050 MHz - MSI OC Scanner Core Clock Curve OS: Windows 10 Pro 64bit Great to hear you only see 1% util for the same processes combined! That means something doesn't seem right over here I guess. I'm on the latest version of Windows 10 Pro and same thing for the iCUE software. And everything is working just fine apart from this CPU util issue. That's weird...

Noticed by chance today how the System Idle Process on my Windows 10 PC which usually gets about 99% of the CPU time when the PC is idling now only gets about 90-93%. When I was looking to find out what other processes were constantly putting a load on my CPU, I found the two below processes being the culprits: Corsair.Service.CpuIdRemote64.exe (6-7% CPU) Corsair.Service.exe (1-3% CPU) What exactly are these services doing (especially the first one with CpuIdRemote in its name) and why is it they constantly use almost 10% CPU? That's quite a lot for a background service! I don't have any other services behaving like this. Had it only been 1-2% it might have been OK. But certainly not almost 10% of your CPU time on a constant basis! The normal thing is to have a process that once in a while will ask for some CPU time. Not like this where the CPU is permanently loaded in the background.

Made perfect sense now that you explained it. I think iCUE is a really amazing piece of software and I never had a computer looking as cool as my current one! However, it does take a while to learn everything about iCUE - what is possible and how to accomplish it. Maybe Corsair should launch a 'Certified iCUE Professional' program for people such as yourself :biggrin:

Haven't read through all posts in this thread, so please forgive me if it was already suggested/mentioned. I would love to have the same hardware lighting option I have for my H115i Platinum and the fans connected to my Commander Pro also for my Venegance RGB Pro memory sticks.
