  1. I don’t think it will auto-detect it. You likely need to tell it something is there with a specific LED count. Each AR is 8 LEDs, so 24 in total in that circuit. Perhaps someone who uses Fusion can offer more precise advice.
  2. You are stuck with whatever controls the motherboard. If Asus, its Armory Crate. Gigabyte’s is called Fusion. MSI Mystic Light… and so on. Check your motherboard’s product page. Usually there are a lot of prompts to install. Asus even puts a trick in the BIOS to trigger an automatic download if your Windows security settings are lax enough to allow it.
  3. You likely have some registry corruption preventing CUE 5 from properly launching/opening. This one of the more common issues with the modular CUE 5. Try the clean install directions below. CUE 4 is not modular and installs to a different location and that’s likely why it is functional. However, it is more than a year out of date, so any new products won’t be recognized. https://help.corsair.com/hc/en-us/articles/360025166712-iCUE-How-to-perform-a-clean-reinstallation-of-iCUE No game or other application will recognize the G keys natively. They don’t have a defined meaning in the world at large. You need to use substitute mapping or use them as macro triggers to execute existing game control actions. The simplest version is something like: If “B” is Block in game, in CUE you can assign the keyboard letter B to any of the G keys and it will produce a B any time that profile is active. In game, that results in the intended execution. Combination input can be assigned as well. Most other mouse button can be reassigned, although some have restrictions like left click to prevent you from locking yourself out of an executable state. You can’t directly swap functions, but you can make a different mouse button change profiles and most mice let you reassign the profile button to a different task. “Sniper mode” is a preset DPI level activated when that key is held down. Some mice with dedicated sniper buttons (M65) do this natively. For other mice it can be assigned to most keys if you want it. If you don’t have a key assigned to this function, it’s not operational and irrelevant to use. You can’t delete DPI levels from the interface, but you can uncheck them and the mouse will not shift to them when DPI shift/cycle is used. These should appear grayed out in CUE.
  4. Corsair “AR” fans are an unusual product as they are not designed to work with the CUE control system. They have motherboard style rgb connectors and thus control is passed over to your motherboard rgb program. There is no Corsair controller in the setup and thus no CUE interaction.
  5. There are a couple of ways you can try and address it. 1) 3rd party adapter for the motherboard style ARGB connector. This will allow it to properly connect but it does pass the control to the MB RGB program, which may or may not be useful. That one fan will not change when CUE profiles and lighting do, so this really does separate it. Really only viable if you don't change themes very often and use common effects like static colors, rainbows, etc. 2) Corsair specific fan RGB splitter - This will "twin" two of your fans connected to the Commander Core and they will share a Y-splitter to one port. This will keep all the RGB in the Corsair app and change with everything else. However, if you do moving patterns like visor or any kind of wave effect, the two fans on the Y-splitter will display they effect at the same time. The two fans light and act like one. This means you need to choose the paired fans carefully for the least annoyance. This is a non-issue for static or intra-fan effects like spiral rainbow, rainbow wave, etc. since all fans in the circuit do the same thing at the same time. That makes this usually the best choice for most people. This is an example of Corsair specific RGB splitter for a RGB fan port. You can do the same thing on the PWM side with any common PWM 4+3 splitter.
  6. Had to put which fan on the motherboard rgb? Corsair fans are not designed to connect to your motherboard 5v RGB headers. Your motherboard rgb software is in control if you’ve forced it on.
  7. If you don’t want to disassemble it, can you get a small, thin toothbrush through the fill port? Looking again it looks like it’s on the tube on the wall side as well. That’s going to be difficult. You probably need to take it apart.
  8. Contact Corsair Support. Are there any physical issues with the Commander Core? Lights off, fans don’t run, pump error (!)? Typically when it’s device specific, CUE will reveal it with an error mark on the device or it alone drops from CUE. A full CUE crash is usually something else. If you haven’t done it already, do a full clean install. Corrupt registry files and/or entanglements with other monitoring/control programs is the number one reason for most crashes on CUE 5. Support is also likely to respond with this as a line 1 step, so might as well head them off. This will erase all profiles and settings. https://help.corsair.com/hc/en-us/articles/360025166712-iCUE-How-to-perform-a-clean-reinstallation-of-iCUE I would not pinhole reset the Commander as a troubleshooting measure. It has a limited use in specific hardware misbehavior circumstances, none of which appear to be in evidence. It also tends to create a mess with your profiles and CUE will think you added a second Commander Core.
  9. Losing the usb connection should drop it into HW mode only, which other than changing lighting should not impact performance. If the fans and pump stop, that is a clear sign of power loss and it puts the speed issue into a different light. It appears the unit is experiencing some type of power delivery problem. There is no software mechanism to stop the pump and it should run at all times regardless of software state. If you are still in your 5 year warranty period, contact Corsair Support to start the RMA process. If not, you’ll need to go shopping. Unless the SATA connector delivering power is only half connected, this is going to be a terminal failure pretty soon.
  10. It’s possible the two things are connected. Corsair likely blocked the 1.8x. FW update when this issue with the brightness warning occurred. It generally tends to show as “update failed” rather than “up to date” in these circumstances. Based on the latest posts in that thread, the 2.xx FW is not yet available and I expect your issue to be resolved when it is released. If not, we’ll take another look.
  11. It's a temporary bug. There is an extensive discussion below and a FW update is incoming to correct the error state.
  12. Any kit is a collection of average parts needed for a particular application. It's never going to be exactly tailor made for your use and it is not intended to be a price discount bundle. In a 1000D you are going to need more tubing than the average person, so make sure you price check the exact pieces you need vs any pre-packaged kit. A 5900x doesn't use a lot of watts unless you have tweaked a few things and/or use it for maximum CPU loads all day long. As such, the difference in CPU temp with any of the various cooling options is going to be small -- at least in an isolated test. 100W on any cooler isn't much to deal with. However, if you are running a dual fan air box above your GPU and spend most of your time gaming, you may be putting a decent amount of hot air into the CPU cooler stream. That may reduce your cooling efficiency and lead to higher gaming CPU temps. The big advantage of a water cooling system is you can move that heat elsewhere or for you, it may be more about moving the cooling elsewhere. I think this is were you gains would come from. A 1000D is certainly made for custom water cooling, so you have the case and space.
  13. Try running a repair install of the program. Windows Settings> Apps> Corsair iCUE. Click the drop down menu and select "modify". Follow the prompts for a repair installation. This does not erase profiles or settings but is good at cleaning up weird issues between OS and CUE. There have been some rolling issues with the CPUID sub-program and that is how CUE gets that data.
  14. You can mix 8 LED series fans (AF-Elite, SP-Elite, ML-Elite) and the LL fans (16 LEDs) on the Commander Core. However, if you have the older SP-Pro they are RGB compatible but won’t be speed controlled on the PWM only Commander Core. Also be aware mixed fan types will be automatically divided into separate groups by the Commander Core. You will see an “8 led series” and a “LL fan series” group since they have different effect lists related to the ring geometry.
  15. Yes, the Commander Core is compatible with SP-Elite, ML-Elite, ML-Pro, AF-Elite/RGB, HD, QL, and LL fan types. All of these are 4 pin PWM Corsair RGB fans. The LL is a medium rake blade with 9 fins and is a bit less effective on a radiator compared to the ML-Elite that came with the AIO. However, on a 360mm radiator this really won't matter unless you are running 300W+ CPU loads all day. In that case it will make a 1-2C difference, which should be irrelevant for most people.
