  1. @doverkan69 @c-attack I've used a bottle brush; they can be found in various sizes everywhere and are cheap. I can remember using small ones in school science classes (many decades ago) to clean out test tubes. There are many household products that find their way into cleaning tech because they simply work. We used to clean microwave couplers (communications) with tampons. I use makeup removal pads (along with Isopropyl alcohol) to clean up thermal paste from cold-plates and CPU's.
  2. It doesn't look like high-end tech is going to use less power in the foreseeable future in the Intel/AMD CPU or AMD/NVIDIA GPU arms race. The jury is still out one whether Intel is ready to compete at the high-end of the GPU market. The three PSU's I have in service: HX-1200i, AX-1200i (both are platinum rated) & AX-1600i (titanium rated) but to be fair, I run SLI'ed 180TI's, RTX-3090 & RTX-4090 across the 3 rigs (all water-cooled) that I overclock from time to time. I have one lower wattage PSU that I use for filling and to test leak my water-cooled builds; a SF-450 (gold rated) with a bridged 24-pin (pins 4 & 5) that I got at a silly cheap price just before the COVID lockdowns.
  3. I can see ICUE's CPU package temperature for both of my Intel systems (9900K and 12900K). There has been a bit of an issue reported on these forums with people not having it as an option recently though. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the majority of complaints came from AMD owners. I put a system together with bits I had laying around last week that doesn't show CPU package temperature but does have core temperatures. I didn't worry too much as it was very old tech - X58 m/board with an Intel i7-930 processor running Windows 10. The CPU package temperature wasn't showing in v4 of ICUE for that processor, so I upgraded ICUE to v5 where it still wasn't present. It just put this off as a something dodgy with the CPUID library ICUE uses albeit HWMonitor does which also uses the CPUID SDK. I'm not concerned in this case as I have all six fans controlled by the liquid temperature of the H115i via a PWM controller. Kudos to Corsair though, my lightly used H115i AIO (2016) shows up even with the latest release of ICUE.
  4. I use PirateDog Tech adapters - find them from the link I provided or on his eBay store. I also have some EZE-Fab adapters - available on Amazon.
  5. This is how I do it using a Commander Pro. I choose the "Lighting Setup" as x RGB Strips to approximate (always over) the actual number of LEDs I have connected on the channel. Then under the "Lighting Channel", I set a custom "Quick Lighting Zone" entry which is exactly the number of LEDs I have on that channel and use that when defining my lighting layers. You'll only need to define the custom zone once per channel (the Commander Pro has two) as ICUE saved your custom zone. eg. I have a channel connected to the LEDs of a Lian Li O11D XL case extended with a Phanteks Glacier D120 Distro plate. Case LEDs = 28, Distro plate = 10, total of 38 LEDs, Lighting Channel set to 4 x LED strips (10 each totalling 40 LEDs), Custom "Quick Lighting Zone" defined as 38 LEDs and finally, When adding a Lighting Layer, use the custom Lighting Zone for the exact number of LEDs on the channel. This is only for the software-controlled lighting, the hardware lighting is defined by the Lighting Channel setup. In the above example, 40.
  6. There was a sneaky update to the ICUE plugin to v1.5.220 yet the history on Elgato's Marketplace shows this version was release last November (t wasn't).
  7. And I imagine permissions of the copier, not the subsequent user which may cause problems with modifications. You would need to take ownership of the files under the correct username.
  8. How is it if you do a cold boot? I've found the ASUS plugin requires a cold boot to show my motherboard and GPU on ICUE's front page.
  9. Working well here - two machines albeit the ASUS plugin (for both my Motherboard & GPU) required a cold boot (a warm boot won't suffice) to show up under ICUE devices. This has been this way through multiple versions of ICUE. Kudos to the Stream Deck developers for the sneaky update of the ICUE plugin (now v1.5.220) that fixed a typo for the Power Efficiency of digital Corsair PSU's. It now correctly shows "%" instead of "W" for the sensor unit. There wasn't an update through the Stream Deck app when I checked yesterday yet looking at the history for the plugin in Marketplace, it states 10 Nov 2023 and I have "automatic updates" turned on. Weird?
  10. Exactly. I try to ensure I don't use PWM splitters as they may be problematic with CoPro PWM ports. I run the following for 9 x ML-120 RGB Elite's... Corsair Commander Pro with a 10KΩ thermistor for a hardware (liquid) temperature source 1 PWM port off the Commander Pro Lampton SP105 powered fan controller, 1 PWM port of the Commander Pro for my D5 pump (running at 50% fixed). 2 x Lighting Node Cores (for the RBG)
  11. I tried it out a few days ago after reading about this and the latest ICUE works fine with 3DMark SystemInfo on both of my systems. And to reiterate @KILLER_K - close & kill ICUE when performing benchmarks.
  12. All the people reporting issues should be posting their system specs along with their issue. Corsair can't be expected to be mind-readers when looking at these posts.
  13. Or could it have been NVIDIA's driver 551.23? GeForce Hotfix Driver Version 551.46 Updated 02/07/2024 05:43 PM GeForce Hotfix Driver Version 551.46 GeForce Hotfix display driver version 551.46 is based on our latest Game Ready Driver 551.23. This hotfix addresses the following issues: Some users may experience intermittent micro-stuttering in games when vertical sync is enabled [4445940] Potential stutter may be observed when scrolling in web browsers on certain system configurations [4362307] [Red Dead Redemption 2][Vulkan] Stutter observed on some Advanced Optimus notebooks [4425987] [Immortals of Aveum] Addresses stability issues over extended gameplay [4415277]
  14. @ShilohLetters - might be a longshot but take a look at the layout of your devices under "Murals" menu. Maybe some of the fans are not in the "Device Layout" canvas. In addition, try turning off Murals (uncheck "Corsair One Blue") and see if all of your fans show up (it'll probably be set to "Watercolor Spectrum" for software lighting by default). If they all display correctly, something is likely awry for Murals.
  15. @Darkshadow29 @c-attack My understanding of "ASUS RGB control" for motherboards via ICUE's ASUS plug-in is limited to the 12V RGB headers. If I look at my ROG Maximus Hero Z690 in ICUE, I only see one header, the 12v AURA RGB header whilst the 3 x 5v Addressable Gen 2 headers are MIA. A bit of an oxymoron but I assume that supporting the ARGB headers is deemed as giving comfort to the enemy by Corsair. All my non-Corsair LED lighting (Lian Li O11D XL case LED strip with a daisy chained Phanteks distro LED strip, EK CPU block and EK GPU block) are controlled via the 2 x "LED" ports on a Commander Pro (via 3rd party converter cables). This is true for both of my systems meaning all lighting (barring the Polymo/Matrrix lighting on the Z690 Hero in my main rig) is controlled by ICUE and can go stealth (or conversely, restore lighting) with a single button press on my Streamdeck. @Darkshadow29 I've tried (in the past) to control 9 x Lian Li AL-series fans in the past using the UNI-HUB linked to a LED port on a Command Pro with L-CONNECT set to "motherboard control". Bit of a hit-and-miss affair even though the UNI-HUB is doing the heavy lifting; sometimes works but it inevitably ends up some flickering or the odd fans simply refuses to light up correctly if at all. That was with AL v1 series fans with 28 LEDs per fan, the SL Infinite series fans have 40! Lesson learnt, both machines now have 9 x ML-120 Elite fans running via 2 x Lighting Node Cores (and a Lampton 10-port PWM controller).
