I hope this works for you, it didn't for me. I changed the SSD three times, every time it worked for a couple of months, and it started all over again. Even placing the SSD further away with a extension cable didn't have the result I hoped for. I now have a 4th SSD laying ready, a 990 Pro. Between the holidays, I will replace it and, at the same time clean all the connections as this seems to help too. If this goes wrong again, I'll give up and I'll be the proud owner of a 2800€ paperweight. First and last time I'll buy Corsair. The Corsair One looks good but definitely has a design fault: the heat dissipation grills the SSD's. Good luck! Ton

Sorry to say so but I'm afraid I cried victory too soon. We had some very hot days here in France and, although I had the fan running at 1000 rpm and the disk never got over 50°C, it seems I've fried another SSD. The first BSOD the day before yesterday, two more yesterday where I dropped back in the BIOS showing that my SSD was absent. This morning again strange behaviour, USB errors, sound freezing, all the signs I have had before when the SSD failed. If it fries, I'm not sure I will repair again. At this rythme, I will pay more for SSD's than the initial buying price of the rig... Will keep you posted... Ton

I Made the change last December and haven't had the least issue since. The SSD now lies just below the top fan and with this fan at ~ 1000 rpm, the SSD, even under heavy load, hardly goes over 50°C. It's definitely the solution if you want to use this computer without hassle. Bye, Ton

Thanks for this brilliant tip! I started with an i140, burned two SSD's in less than 18 months. Corsair was kind enough to exchange it under warranty for an i164 but now, a couple of months later, the SSD fails again. Managed to reinstall everything but just two days later, the SSD again disappeared from the BIOS. I ordered a new 990Pro from Samsung and a 30 cm extension cable and hope my sorrows will be over. It's a great computer but obviously, heat management is a serious flaw... Cheers and happy new year!! Ton

Forgot to mention, not even personalised settings don't have any affect. 0% or 100%, the fan stays at ~200 rpm

Hello, Since a couple of days, I can't adjust the main fan of my i145 anymore. No matter what profile I choose, they turn at about 200 rpm and the SSD gets too hot (60-70°C at idle). I already fried my first SSD and would like to keep the second alive... I re-installed and everything but nothing works, anyone an idea?

Hello, For the first time in almost 40 years of PC's, a hard disk crashed: the Samsung SSD of my i145 Corsair. Was very surprised but things happen. Bought a new Samsung 970 evo plus and while mounting, which is a mess..., it became clear why this disk failed. It's mounted on the back of the mother board just a centimeter away from the GPU. While installing I kept an eye on the temperature and it confirms my thoughts. In idle the temperature is around 65°C and a little effort makes it mount to 100°C easily. The Samsung Magician constantly indicates "Too high temperature". Does anyone of you knows this issue and, more important, a solution because at this speed, my SSD will probably fry again withing the year.

I've got the same issue, if I tag Philips Hue, the whole house starts blinking and the remotes start doing weird. This CTRL-LeftClick thing doesn't work. Anyone found a solution?

Hello, Since the last updates, CPU load went down nicely. On my computer is take ~1.5 to 2.7%, no more

You probably click on the wrong spot as it normally installs automatically On the last tab of iCUE at the bottom there is a button check for updates and you're done. (see attached picture, sorry French version...) Bye, Ton

I just got an update to 3.36.125. Hope the issue is repaired...

Thanks for finding the cause. I re-installed the last version and the "funny" thing is that it takes in consideration de delay before going to sleep, I put it on 60 min., but not the on/off toggle... Cheers, Ton

I have to guess for the going dark (I installed an old version to avoid the issue), I'd say something like 10-15 minutes. The firmware of the Nexus is 2.2.6 Best regards, Ton

I decided to roll back to some 3.34 version that is shown on the Corsair site. This seems to solve the problem but it's an "old" version of couse... I'll see what happens when there is a newer version of ICUE but keep the 3.34 at hand, who knows. Ton

Hello, Since the last ICUE update to 3.35.152, my Nexus already stopped functioning twice. Never had this before. It just goes black and I have to disconnect/reconnect the USB connection to make it work again. Anyone else experiencing this? Cheers, Ton
