t53186 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 New here, so please excuse my ignorance. Any chance the logging interval can have the maximum interval increased to 1600 seconds. I wanted to log every half hour on a test render that takes close to 7 hours. I know how to filter a csv in excel and change intervals for my graph, but I'm kind of lazy.

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted March 5, 2012 Corsair Employee Share Posted March 5, 2012 The maximum is 120 seconds, we will ask our Engineer for Corsair Link if this can be done. But it may be a few days to get you an answer for this. If we do not reply to you by Friday morning please bump the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t53186 Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 Thanks for the reply. By the way, corsair link is a fantastic product. I have used various MB vendors built in fan controls, software solutions and none come even remotely close to what link does. I have two other workstations that howl with fan noise, now that I know what link, an H80, and four quiet fans can do I will be getting a couple more from corsair. Too bad Newegg does not carry them yet. All my associates are very interested in the results so far. Keep up the outstanding product development.

randolla Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Well I would have your associates read these forums before they buy anything. You have received one of the few Links that actually works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted March 7, 2012 Corsair Employee Share Posted March 7, 2012 Well for most it is no problem, like you have found but yes some have had an issue and we are trying to address these concerns. So I am not convinced it is as big of an issue as some may like to portray it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randolla Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 It is probably true that these forums, like most forums, are skewed towards more complaints than complements. That being said, it is pretty clear to all of us who read them, even though Corsair will not admit it, but this product is full of bugs and was released too early. There are chronic issues with the firmware updates and software bugs as well. The biggest issues I see are: 1. The Link seems only to be compatible with the fans that Corsair provides with such components as the H100/H80. Most of the complaints I have read seem to be around the fact that the Link is not controlling fans as advertised. I have some other fans working but it will not control my Gentle Typhoon Ap-29 (which have a small 3 pin plug on them, not a Molex) which I have on my H100. Further testing is required to produce a fan compatibility list. This while may cut down on a few sales, will decrease the number of complaints and RMAs when a consumer cannot get the Link to work correctly with their fans. 2. There are no additional parts such as Nodes and Sensors available. This will come with time but should have been available at the same time or shortly after the Links launch. 3. The whole issue of the Link's software telling us to update the firmware for the Link and the H100/H80 and this causing it to brick the units needs to be thoroughly investigated and fixed. If we don't need to update any firmware, get rid of the pop up telling us to do so. 4. This is my biggest complaint. Corsair tech support needs to read and answer these threads every day. I do why can't they? There is no excuse for having to wait days and in some cases, weeks to get an answer to a question. Even a "we are looking into it" would be appreciated. This has gotten a bit better recently but there is allot to make up for. If these things can be addressed the Link will turn out to be a great product.

A: Noted and we are working with other fan manufacturers now! 2. There are no additional parts such as Nodes and Sensors available.

t53186 Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 I'm sorry to be a pest regarding logging. After reading more of the forums it appears there any other concerns that need to be addressed and are a higher priority. I have no problems with the cooling using Corsair link. Items controlled: H80 using only one fan to keep my i7-3930k cool ,60c under continuous 100%load with incoming ambient at 24c(measured by the corsair link probe1. Using 3 temp probes. 1=ambient, 2=memory, 3=heatsink for power regulator area 4 case fans = Scythe SY1225SL12LM-P 4pin PWM (very quiet) all in a Antec P280 At idle system is nearly silent, except for sound of pump running, almost sounds like bearing noise. Current readings: 2 top fans running at ~900rpm to keep power regulator area at 41c 2 front fans running at ~950 rpm monitoring GPU temp H80 fan1 running at ~ 800rpm with H80 temp4 =37.8c and CPU1 temp at 38c dimm temp at 36c ambient temp at 23.8c The profiles don't seem to save properly except for the default, but not really needed for me. Still wondering, after the dust settles, if the logging interval can be increased beyond 120sec (updated firmware) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted March 21, 2012 Corsair Employee Share Posted March 21, 2012 t53186 I am sorry I do not have an answer for you at this time, I have passed your questions on to the Link Team to see if that can be done but I do not have an ETA and I cannot confirm that will ever change at this time.

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted March 23, 2012 Corsair Employee Share Posted March 23, 2012 t53186 I do not mean to insinuate that it will never happen; we are looking at this and other things but as mentioned there are a few bugs we are working on at this time they have a priority. So please be patient. I do expect a new software release soon but I think that will be more to address third party fan support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noms Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Hi, back to the OP, how do you change the range to 120 secs? I only have 29 secs log. I think this is one of the most important tools to check the computer status, so the posibility of change the rango (5 min, 30 min ....) it should be something to improve. TU.

t53186 Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 On my version 1.2.5.0, click on tools>logging>then change the interval, Link saves the log as a csv file to the default, or another directory specified. You may be looking at the graph tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noms Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Yeh, you are right, i can change the log there. Any way of changing the graph range? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t53186 Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 Not that I could find. I hope at some time the logging interval can be extended beyond 120 seconds. I have renders that can take 24 hours to complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t53186 Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 Well, I don't know what I did so special. Built a new system took all case fans out from the "unnamed" P280 case Install 4 scythe fans - model number in original post Install the H80 radiator with one of the included fans, do not need second one Installed the three included temp probes, one ambient, one vregulator, one memory plugged all fans and probes in link module plugged module into link controller and usb cable to MB loaded OS with fans screaming at me, unplugged a couple loaded 1.25 link software set up profile worked like I had hoped I wish I had the magic bullet, but I don't Since then I have modified where the probes are, reinstalled windows several times due to other hardware problems, changed profiles, logged a bunch of torture tests, unplugged and plugged in all components a couple of times. I honestly do not know what I did right, maybe I did it all wrong and got lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robandcathy Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 your fans must be some of the lucky one then, sigh oh well thought you hade a potion of luck rather then the right type of fan. Well enjoy while the rest of us wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
