Well, smack my backside and call me Shirley - we have a winner!!!!! Out of desperation I checked this out since it tickled something in my brain about the connector not being as snug as I'd like it to be. Checked it, and it didn't seem like it had come out, but I made sure to give it a firm press down, and keeping it pressed, powered the PC on - and was back working again. No red triangle, and fully recognized in iCUE. Powered the PC back down, and took my finger away (was getting sore at that point, and required help from the wife to check!) and tried again... red triangle back. So behold - my extremely expensive mod for getting this thing working again - a few pennies worth of tape. Excruciatingly janky, but with the LCD cable secured down, everything seems like its working again.

That's the exact same issue I'm having. Corsair boot screen, followed by the GIF I have installed under hardware lighting for about 2-3 seconds, then red triangle. Quitting iCUE reverts back to the GIF, and when I start iCUE up again, the GIF remains, but with no way to change it.

Nick, is the message here that Issue #1 - LCD does not resume from sleep or loss of connection reliably (the root cause of many of the General fault issues in the field) - should fix the red triangle issue, or do those of us who have been suffering from it have to submit a ticket and have it replaced? Like many here, I have little to no desire to mail this thing back and have my computer be down for weeks on end while its sorted, since I rely on it for work.

Pointless update - opened the PC up, and unplugged the LCD screen's USB header from the motherboard, and swapped it into the other port. I now have the Corsair boot screen back, but immediately once more goes to the red triangle. iCUE (4.21.203) still shows no option to modify the LCD screen in any way Have I mentioned I hate this thing?

Lucky you. Updated to the latest iCUE, still having the same issues. Red triangle is now permanent (used to at least get the Corsair animation before it appeared), and no ability to change the screen at all in iCUE. If I quit iCUE, the animation I stored on the LCD unit comes on (Hooray!) and when I open iCUE again it remains on, but still no ability to access the Hardware Screen to change the GIF or choose anything else. Tried the unplug the PSU/discharge the mobo before powering back on trick, to no avail. I hate this thing.

Yeah, its disappointing that this has been going on for folks since pretty much day one. I've spent a small fortune on Corsair gear in my machine, fully buying into the "iCue to rule them all" mindset, and have been repeatedly disappointed. QL fans not holding colour or LEDs popping out on fans, iCue's dashboard reporting differing temps than I see elsewhere, the colours on my Vengeance Pro memory consistently go nuts, Commander Pro that came and went, and more. This is just the latest in a line of "aesthetic disappointments." It's a shame, when it all works well, everything looks great. Just that it doesn't work well that often...

And given the fact that it pops right back on as soon as I quit iCue, leads me to believe its 100% a software issue.

I didn't have the red triangle. Then it appeared, but rebooting the PC cleared it. Then it started appearing more and more. Now it's permanent. (unless I close iCue, at which point it works again) Forced a firmware update, and that worked. Until I restarted, now its back. Not even using the splitter - its going straight into one of my motherboard's headers. Great stuff.

Yeah, I've been on the fence about ordering another one but the recent "talking to" from my wife made me somewhat gunshy, haha.

Heyo folks, Am currently in the process of overhauling a mini-ITX build I've had lying around for my daughter to use. The original machine was a HTPC and has since been replaced, but to keep costs down I'm hoping to reuse the PSU - a CX430M. I ran the components into a PSU calculator (5600X, 32GB, single NVME SSD, 5 fans including the cooler, and an RTX3060) and it claims that 430w is enough, but... since I was originally using this to power an Intel board and was using onboard graphics, I don't have the PCI-E cables on hand. Well, I probably do, but I also have some EVGA ones thrown in the same box, and I'm NOT gambling... I have checked out the PSU cable compatibility table on the Corsair site - https://www.corsair.com/us/en/psu-cable-compatibility - and it seems that for all Corsair PSUs, the PCI-E cable is universal. I have a PCIe cable leftover from my main build, which used an RM850x, and this leads me to believe I can use that cable with the CX430M. But before I plug anything in, I want to QUADRUPLE CHECK that its good to go, since the last thing I need to have happen is the GPU to go pop.

Crosshair X570 Hero here, with an AMD 5900X. Wasn't experiencing issues at all (occasionally I needed to open iCue to remind the commander pro to get the fans out of default rainbow mode and into static color) until upgrading to iCue 4. Now all nine of my fans look like unicorns in a blender, and I have no way of changing them since iCue no longer sees them. GREAT JOB, GUYS!!!

Yeah, had a think about it after the fact and well... makes sense. 102 per fan, so 612 LEDs each of which is sucking about 0.1 watts each.. yeah, that's 60w right there, and SATA is rated for something like 55w. And sure enough, dropping the brightness to about 70% and haven't had an issue since. In fact, dare I say it... can't say I've noticed the previous flickering issue now either. So fair play for the recommendation!

60w for LEDS?!?!? Jesus wept... The only things currently on my SATA cables are the LEDs - no optical devices, and my hard drives are M.2. I'll give it a try when I get back to it.

And now its a whole other set of problems. I now have: 6x LL120 fans plugged into their included RGB hub, which is in turn plugged into the Commander Pro. 3x QL120 fans plugged into their included Node Core Pro (connected via USB) I even took the time to reconnect the fans in order, 1-6 from top left to bottom right in the commander pro, and 7-9 from bottom right to bottom left in the Node Core. Everything was working, as mentioned above. Suddenly, this... This is with iCue being told to set instant lighting to white. H100i does what its told, the three QL120s do what they're told, memory does what its told, even the K95 and microphone stand DO WHAT THEY'RE TOLD. But now the Commander pro will do what its told for about a half a second, and then change to red. Oddly, if I turn off instant lighting and turn it back on with another color, they seem to work for a while. But as soon as I choose white, those six fans switch back to red. Might take a minute or two, but they switch back. Seriously losing patience with all this now. I spent the over the top Corsair premium for all this with the assumption that keeping everything to one ecosystem would make this actually WORK. At this point, I can't BELIEVE that I spent almost $500 on three sets of fans and a Commander Pro only to get completely batsh*t crazy results.

Well, got it working. Turns out the USB splitter does work, but the H100i does NOT like it. Plugged the Commander Pro in there along with the Node Pro, running the QL120s off the Commander and the LL120s off the Node Pro. All KIND OF behaving as they should... Except for one of the LL120s which STILL likes to blink and glitch every 30 seconds or so. It's a different fan than previously though, so am wondering if the RGB hub has a gammy port.
