Corsair iCue Link flashing Red? Here's the fix

- If you've got issues with your Corsair iCue Link system flashing red inexplicably then you'll love this fix. If your fans keep going red for no reason and it's driving you mad then here's a solution.
As usual it's a firmware fix. Corsair has noted in its forum that there's a known issue with false positives being reported due to what it says is over current protection. But a firmware update will fix it:

Note that the firmware version will probably change in future, but this is the fix now.

According to Corsair, this has now been fixed and a firmware update (without the beta) should fix it. So use iCue to do that forum.corsair.com/forums/topic/186103-addressing-red-blinking-concerns-with-icue-link/
People are having issues performing the update... Unreal.
I've been trying to updating icue but my pc turn off before the update was finish due to overheating.. Help.. 😢😢😢
Help??
@@jennocideeee3479 you have the same problem?
My iCue doesnt have a firmware option like yours
neither does mine
doesnt work. even nearly a year later. still happens;, intermittately
I've had this problem for months and every update has not fixed it for me
I received an update from earlier this year and ever since, I've been having issues with disconnect, reconnect. Now the firmware update failed, and now it has the fans running at full blast. It was around the time when it introduced those murals rgbs with the application.
Just went through a headache and so many forums for this same problem my partner was having with her PC after buying new fans and having to purchase another PCIE cable. Found deep on a corsair forum that a user posted stating to "End any MSI task" because upon booting up PC and launching ICUE we were notified of the firmware update 1.6.336 [Corsair forums show this is the live fix for the blinking red] but once we click update, the download never started, the link hub and fans no longer showed up on ICUE until restarting PC. So we just end task on any other 3rd party RGB process and then proceeded to update on ICUE. IT WORKED!! Going to see how long it'll run and if the blinking went away but we were finally able to update firmware.
Wait bro plz help me break it down from start this just randomly started happening my h100i pro is flashing red and is at 100c
I experienced this issue for the first time just last night. Not only the flashing lights, but my iCue link fans were all suddenly running near max. A fresh boot got rid of the lighting issue, but my fans now seem unresponsive to changes in the BIOS or commander pro. So.. that isn’t great.
I'm so confused. Where can I find this 1.3.328 version to download?
my pc is having the exact same problem and i dont know what to do. Has anyone found a solution to this my icue link doesnt have the firmware option at all do i have to call corsair support??? pls help me i really dont know what to do
Thank you so much!! I have been distracted by these stupid red lights on my brand new pc I built on Saturday (sept 9th) I was eager to find a video like this, you have no clue that amount of searching through forums and TH-cam and nothing worked, but this was like a dream come true. Now I can see my rgb I paid 200 dollars for, Keep up the good work and again thank you so much for this video.
I cant update my firmware. The bar does fill up
Same here.
Bruh not everyone has PC’s some people got corsairs for PS5 and Xbox this is so annoying now basically my 200$ headset is basically garbage
I heard the connector they provide is stupidly large and awkward to fit in cases and corsair want you to send extra of the 90 degree cable ? crazy
This issue just happened to me today while building a computer for someone, lights were flashing red and it told me my pump had failed, temps were fine and after unplugging things everything else seemed fined even the pumped showed up in the bios as working. They way I got around the problem was by using a seprate fan controller for the corsair fans and pump and another for the fans rgb. Once I tried that everything booted up just fine and the red lights disappeard. Im guessing it either thought it was pulling to much power or it was, and just adding a seprate controller seemed to fix the issue. Idk if this would work for anyone else but feel free to let me know
im experiencing this currently, can you explain in detail how to do this? Please
@@aknc22 I used one corsair controller connected to the mbo for fans and a seprate controller for the fans rgb. They should each take a single usb connection, but once i did that everything worked perfectly
I was close to buy a new cpu or motherboard!!! I've mounted a new setup a week ago and I was panic 😅 Thank you so much!!! 😊😊😊
Glad I could help!
I am having the same issue when loading up a game the fans turn to red but RAM is fine... I am unable to force a firmware update on the link system HUB it just has "update now" which I press and the download just disappears
Have you fixed it?
nope still does it on some games i play @@maltemighty4860
I will try this, be back to let y'all know if it worked for me
da link dont work
Thanks about to rma mine if this issue persists..
Mine are blinking red but then my computer just turns off before I can do this
Same man these updates haven't fixed anything for me I think it's more to do with the gpu cables connected to the hub
@@TheJoker-gu5sn i found out it was a loose connector on the commander for my cpu cooler.
I needed this video a week ago.
I never understood why it happened.
I thought it was my motherboard.
Sorry
Looks like I can't perform the update because my cooler isn't recognized in ICUE! Haven't found a way to get the cooler to show up in ICUE but I will keep trying
Have you connected it via a USB cable to your motherboard? And tried installing the latest version of icue
I believe I'd have a panic attack if I saw that. That rig cost what? 5 thousand?
Can confirm heart attack 3k on my system and this happened
My problem is that is sonethinf with my aio water cpu cooler
Cannot perform the update... Enraging.
yep headset and dongle blinking red... i can still hear game and audio... except i get the beep every 15 seconds or so for no reason and when it plugged in its worse doo doo doo.... duu duu duu.. constantly. icue doesnt even show my virtuoso rgb headset just the dongle and and wont let me pair it i guess the option is greyd out after i click to pair it... so idk what the issue is.
the problem still persists, you look at the live updates for corsair and it says its been fixed but there are still ALOT of people out there like me experiencing this issue.
i have the same problem. v 5.15.117 Does anyone have the zip file? Too bad I updated to the latest version, I will never update again after the problem is solved
The link no longer works anyone have another link please?
Anyone else still having this issue? I just got my pc and I noticed it did this twice to me randomly when I had a USB plugged in
One yeah later ITS STILL DOING IT!!!!!...
I've never seen you're videos without 100 views in the first 5 minutes lol
This one is very specific and I knew it wouldn't get many views but it was annoying me so hoping it helps some people!
@@F-I-N-E-R No
Has anyone did a firmware update on their system link hub and after the update their cooler and fans disappear from icue? I'm still getting red blinking on my cooler :(
Thanks, you did help fixing my issue 🙂
Excellent
Hey man, i recently bought a iCUE H150i Elite cooler, and when all was put on, the fans will start to get loud and flash red, in the little screen thing there will be a red fan blinking then the pc will turn off, any solution you think will help?
th-cam.com/video/sVEXd-Wp8FY/w-d-xo.html
I saw the lights and thought I was over heating when I checked it was on 40 so I was like wtf
Hi thank tou for this video !
I was hoping you could maybe help me
I just build my very first pc and my aio keep flashing red despite many checks...
So I try to installed the drivers for the icue corsair update and my pc shoot down before the installation was complete.
I dont know if it because of the bios since i didnt install/update everything yet
I'm really new to this 😔
Mine are blinking red but then my computer just turns off before I can do this
So after I built my new setup everything worked. Then I installed some things on my mainboard driver. (Gigabyte GCC driver) and then while making the installation my fans blinked red. Only the Qx ones with the Aio and not the separate LL120 fans. After that I installed my Icue software everything is now perfect. EXCEPT my Aio makes a weird high pitched sound now. Could it be broken? It’s a static sound and I can’t get rid of it
I noticed mine only does it when I have Game Boost turned on. Maybe it’s a temp warning because my new CPU runs hotter than my old one?
Mine is just red I fixed the flashing issues on my own but now it just turns red and I’m not sure what to do
I just got the flashing red lights, and my iCUE v5 is only detecting my RAM. I plan on doing this firmware work around tomorrow after work, but if anyone knows how I can go about getting my PSU, AIO, and fans detected by iCUE please let me know because I'd like it fixed as soon as I can.
I’m having the same issues on my new system too. Only RAM and keyboard is showing up. I contacted Corsair and they said maybe the HUB is bad. Any luck with if you fixed it?
@@evanprough3549 I was able to fix it, but I honestly couldn't tell you what it was. I uninstalled the software and reinstalled it with the update. And to be honest I did that a couple times. After the third or fourth time I said screw it, waited a day, and it was fixed. I hope you can figure yours out and it's simple because it's such a pain
I had this issue and it stopped flashing red but now whenever I power off/power on, my fans are red. Even after changing the hardware rgb settings in icue
That's odd.
Hi Prawn. I see the the option to download the software is no longer available? Any idea?
I believe the latest version of icue should fix it? I'd recommend uninstalling and reinstalling iCue if you have issues.
Unfortunately the issues persists for me it’s very frustrating. When the blinking starts two things happen. Either my aio and case fans spins faster than normal or they don’t spin at all which results in my pc turning off because it’s not cooling the cpu. But when the blinking doesn’t happen my pc works great
I’m having the same issue have you found a solution???
Any updates?? Got this issue until now.. Trying to update the icue but it doesn't finish because my pc is turning off due to high temperature..
I can’t even get past the first screen where it says cpu fan issue, it just turns off on its own - this is a brand new pc that’s just arrived today please help
th-cam.com/video/fz_mL7nhelo/w-d-xo.html
My one shows up red triangle and cpu heats up pc turns off.
Sounds like a bigger issue with your cooling setup th-cam.com/video/nVkN8diBIAE/w-d-xo.html
Not seeing the link or zip file to fix my cooler?
I would love a video on how to avoid being trapped into an ecosystem like this
You are a godsend dude. Thanks a lot!
I aim to please :)
dsude wtf there isnt a dpowenlopad page bro,..wtf is wqrong wiuth u
you appear to be having a break down. You need to download the latest version of iCue, it's been fixed by a firmware update now.
@@TheProvokedPrawnI can sadly verify that it has not been fixed. I have the latest Icue version and firmware but still flashing red. Ive had it happen mainly on X570 boards.
where can i get that zip file? it is no longer available from the link provided
Have you updated to the latest version of icue. Apparently it's now fixed that way.
@@TheProvokedPrawn i am running on their latest version and i am still having this issue. ill just re install it now maybe i have a chance
@@TheProvokedPrawn i have just done a fresh re install just now and it only detects my hs80, and the vengence ram.. thats all that its doing for the past two days now.
@@fearlessalpaca9760 Got the same problem, keeps flashing with latest firmware also tried to force update
@@fearlessalpaca9760 Same thing for me I tried everything out but nothing seems to stop it blinking or get it to detect the lights, the sensors do work and are being detected in the motherboard but its not being recognized in the ICUE
Your Video was super helpful
Thanks. Glad to help you out Jessica 👍🏼
Worked really well!
Great to hear!
my pc turn on starts flashing red them my pc turns off
That sounds like it might be an actual problem where the system is warning you of high temps. I'd suggest benchmarking your CPU and using Cinebench and HWinfo64 yo monitor temps and see if it spikes really high. If it is that it'll do it again. Then you'll need to check your pump head to see it's not loose, make sure it's all connected properly, perhaps look at changing the thermal paste, check for error messages in iCue
@@TheProvokedPrawn If I can even get pass the start up phase literally it turns on I get the red triangle fans start flashing red fans spin at max speed then pc just turns off
tybbg
I fixed it on Windows 10 as an administrator:
1. Control panel/Power options/Power buttons and disable fast booting.
2. Task manager -> booting -> turn off ICue auto boot
3. Turn off Corsair ICue apps in the task manager
4. Menu start/Bluetooth and other/ICue turn it off
5. Turn off PC, not reboot but turn off and wait few seconds.
6. Boot PC.
I think it's a kernel related bug hence it has to be completely wiped.
Tried and failed. Did you leave a step out or just not clear on one of them?
@@PokèMyBalls it worked for me, give it a few tries or at least do not imply ill will, mate
I’m in windows 11 is it the same with start up apps?
@@sdurrani9510 idk I have W10
Link not working for me
Update to the latest version of iCue. The fix should now come as a firmware update that's available to all.
Please give firmware download link
It's in the description
Hello
the link is down@@TheProvokedPrawn
Thanks for the video, it did indeed fix an issue I had!
The link not working bro ..
Apparently it's now been fixed via public firmware updates forum.corsair.com/forums/topic/186103-addressing-red-blinking-concerns-with-icue-link/
It hasn't. I have all the latest firmware and I still have the flashing red lights.@@TheProvokedPrawn
Thank you so much
No problem
