I finally registered just to post my agreement. I'm glad to see others are not letting this issue drop. I'm in the same situation and it is incredibly unfortunate that this has not been resolved. No other monitoring apps or software affects the idle voltages, temps, and cpu usage of my 3900x like iCUE does. I fully understand that there is overhead to any piece of software, but that doesn't excuse lack of optimization when clearly other vendors have figured this out. iCUE is the only piece of software that has this kind of impact. As soon as I close it, I see idle cores and sub-1v idle voltages. If iCUE is running, I'll be sitting at 1.43v+ with all 12 cores active at all times. I went all-in for my build last year with a K95, Nightsword RGB, H150i, x6 LL140 fans, Commander Pro, Light Strips, the works. I feel that I have been patient waiting for improvements, but I'm close to the point of others in this thread. All of that hardware is about to get ditched in favor of a less complex, better performing solution from a different vendor. Sure, the fancy lights are great and the hardware seems solid, but it's just not worth dealing with the bloatware that is iCUE.
