I've spent the last day reinstalling my OS on a new X570 Gigabyte Xtreme motherboard.
Turns out.. Installing the latest 3.23.66 update completely black screen bricks your system. (after reinstalling I've found that the 'hard crash' happens with MSI afterburner and Riva statistics server) .. I'm talking crashing so bad with 100% cpu utilization that I'm unable to CTRL + ALT + DEL and system repair from a win10 boot drive cannot repair. I had to reformat the drive and install from square one. Every instance of this crashing starts exactly after installing iCUE. How can a simple 'control' RGB software cause so many issues. and why does it have to have resident services it installs on the machine. So even if the PC is 'locked' you cannot access rgb functionality. IE. why doesn't the software tell some firmware on the RGB devices which profile to use.. then close the thing out (or uninstall it?) and leave the rgb effects running.
Either way I have a k95 keyboard, dark se mouse and bought a x680 crystal case like a dumb ***, I went to the point of just going with default rainbow puke RGB, but on the mouse specifically I can't use the side buttons without icue installed.
Corsair fix this please, or atleast let us download a legit 'stable version' and have all these new fixes applied to some beta pipeline, because this has been out well over a year and it's still trash. The lighting on my fans should not have an impact on my FPS in games or if my entire OS crashes (or even loads)
Updating iCUE is becoming a riskier endeavor than installing windows updates lately (not good)
