JanB Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Hello there, so I recently upgraded to a Ryzen 1700X with an Asus Strix X370-f Gaming motherboard. I experience random system crashes whenever I connect the usb cable from the corsair cooler to my motherboard. I tried for a week without this connection and I did not have any system crashes/blackscreens. I tried connecting it again today and the system crashed/had a black screen within 3 minutes. I couldn't even restart the pc with the power button. I'm not sure if this is a problem with the Link software or with the cooler itself, however without this software, the connection wouldn't be necessary. Is this a known problem / does anyone know how to fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Blake Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Are you sure you've installed the USB cable into the correct header? Can you please confirm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanB Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share Posted August 29, 2017 Yes, it is the right connector. It is the only internal USB2 header on this motherboard and it is working fine if connected with my front panel. I even did a fresh install of Windows after experiencing this, as I thought something must have gone wrong. Unfortunately these crashes still happen.

snapper69 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Do you have a mini usb cable from an oldish camera or something (most new phones etc use micro usb) that you can connect to the pump housing and run to an external usb socket as a test?

JanB Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 I may have one somewhere. I will test it as soon as I can, but I'm on vacation the next to weeks, so I won't be able to test it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tklami Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 If you are getting random black screens and no input to other devices, then we have the same problem. Most of the time I have to cut power on the psu to turn it off. Try uninstalling link to see if that helps. That at least helped for me. So for now I am running my PC without link.

snapper69 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 You could try using SIV. It is mentioned on here quite a bit and I use it, as I was having problems with Link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headpool182 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Just wondering if anyone ever found a permanent fix to this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevBiker Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 I don't know that this is even an issue any longer. Are you having an issue? If so, it's probably better to start a new thread and describe what you are experiencing rather than resurrecting a thread that was last accessed over 6 months ago. We've had quite a few releases since then and I've not heard of issues like this for quite some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
