7.42 update causes iCUE fans to flash off/on every 2-4 seconds
- Thread starter mmotti
- Start date
Looks like we can't have both.. How about v7.42-5030, did that work for you maybe?
I think the problem is that (according to our current knowledge) the device can be either in hardware (default) or software (programmable) mode.
To read status like temperatures and fan speeds requires switching the device into software mode, but this will render the RGB lightning off unless it's configured for some custom pattern (via iCUE?).
Not sure if my assumption is correct tho...

Hello all. First off, my PC specs: R9 7900X, 4070 Ti, Hx1000i, H150i Elite Capellix XT w/Commander Core, 6 Corsair AF RGB Elite Fans.
This morning I got an notification to update HWInfo to V7.42-5030. After installing, the LEDs on my fans and pump went to "Hardware" mode and flashed once a second. In HWInfo, the pump temp is greyed out, but fan speeds are updating. On 5031, the LEDs are working again, but HWInfo flashes the temp monitor and fan speeds aren't updating. On 5032, only the pump temp is showing, but it is still greying out every second or two. On 5033, I am able to read the pump temp and all 6 fan speeds, but all sensors are greying out randomly at the same time; my RGB is still working properly on this version.

Thanks for your feedback. Is iCUE running too? If yes, then the grayed-out items are due to collisions with iCUE.

Yes, iCUE is running in background.

With 5033, the Commander Core sensors will periodically grey out when messing with iCUE, but they are updating, and my iCUE profiles appear to be working without issue.
One problem I just noticed is "Fan #6" in iCUE is not showing up in HWInfo. I believe "Fan 1" in HWInfo is the pump speed based on messing with fan speeds in iCUE, and then the fans not matching up properly in HWInfo.

Please attach the HWiNFO Debug File so I can check the details.

I have included the most recent DBG file, and a screenshot of HWInfo next to my iCUE.

Sorry about that, I thought it uploaded right. Here it is

I believe I made the debug file correct this time. Fingers crossed.
Thanks!
Here just another build to test in attempt to properly monitor in both HW and SW modes: www.hwinfo.com/beta/hwi64_743_5034.zip
It should also fix the fan labels for @jwhitesell01 if this build will be able to read fan speeds at all.
Please let me know how it works...

That did fix my fan/pump labels. With iCUE running and starting 5034, all sensors showed up, only greying out due to iCUE. After closing HWInfo and iCUE, then starting only HWInfo, the Commander Core showed up but without any sensors. I have attached two DBG files with/without iCUE running the background.
OK, here hopefully the last build for now: www.hwinfo.com/beta/hwi64_743_5035.zip
This is probably the best I can do for now due to the lack of more information about the (crazy) protocol of this device...
Looks like it's not possible to monitor the device when it's in hardware mode, so it needs to be switched into software mode. That's causing issues with RGB on some devices but I don't have a solution for this now.

Could you please also try 5034? I'm wondering whether that might work too for your case.
