Corsair CUE 5 + HWiNFO

[Kol12]

Hi Martin

I was just wondering if the newer iterations of Corsair's CUE software can still conflict with HWiNFO?

There's no reason to expect a miracle from Corsair.

In other words not recommended to run side by side?

 

[Martin]

Yes

or disable corsair/asetek support in HWinfo options if you need to run it without accessing corsair stuff.

I've found that HWiNFO will detect my Corsair Commander Pro's when Corsair/Asetek is enabled. What I meant was conflicts with other non Corsair device readings (like the CPU and GPU) as CUE now monitors this stuff too...

eeh.. invasive malware that one then.

Which one?

iCUE lol
It works as a "be happy pleb that we allow your computer to carry our software".. software

It's not that bad, CUE does have some powerful features. I only wish I could streamline what it does and doesn't do.

A software with >1GB size could control a nuclear power plant, not just a cooler/RGB

well iCUE5 is a bit ligher, but still, it's a very very basic software when it comes to cooling, monitoring, RGB.. uh.. everything ^^' but nice presets yes.
