So after updating to the latest Corsair link *2.6.5214* the LED's on my unit would reset to an odd colour, So instead of red it would go a rose coloured pink.

So I decided to experiment a little :D

So far it seems it's only effecting people who update from 1.05 to 1.07 but units that ship with 1.07 appear to be unaffected.

Now this is a problem related to the firmware version 1.07 which is built into the latest release.

I have tested this on 3 different H100i's and all behave the same when updated from 1.05 to 1.07.

The fix is actually quite simple, Uninstall all link software and download the older *2.4.5110* link version which allows for manual firmware updates.

Once you have it downloaded and installed you want to download firmware version 1.05, Update/rollback the firmware to 1.05 from 1.07 and once done your LED's shouldn't change upon a cold boot anymore.


****Please download in Firefox or Chrome, Internet Explorer for some reason saves it as a .php file instead of a .zip/.rar file****


Corsair Link - 2.4.5110 - http://www.corsair.com/~/media/Corsair/download-files/drivers/link/Corsair-Link-Installer-RC-v2-4-5110.exe

H80i 1.05 - http://forum.corsair.com/v3/attachment.php?attachmentid=12219&d=1361765933

H100i 1.05 - http://forum.corsair.com/v3/attachment.php?attachmentid=12220&d=1361765948


Installation -

1. Uninstall Corsair Link.

2. Reboot.

3. Install Corsair Link Version 2.4.5110.

4. Flash your H80i/H100i to 1.05 *sierra2.bootloader has stopped working* will appear once the progress bar gets to 100% but don't worry this is normal.

5. Re-launch Corsair Link and set your desired color i.e Red, Green, Blue etc.....

6. Fully shut down your rig and wait about 60 seconds.

7. Boot up and after about 5 seconds the CPU block LED will change from white to your previously selected colour.

Hope this helps

Good work Dice. As i said to texan though with these H Led coolers if it works, its best to leave well alone as they're very temperamental. I went through three of them before finally switching to a H110 with no led.

Thank you :)

Thought I'd share as it was really annoying me until I found the solution by experimenting with different firmwares and Corsair Link versions :)

I've just set mine to blue & unplugged the USB. It's not changed colour since.

This mainly only happens to people updating from 1.05 to 1.07.

Hi Dice, following those instructions, downloaded 2.4.5110 and installed then from your link for the 1.05 firmware downloaded and tried to update/rollback from the link software, I chose the device to update then when I'm asked for a firmware file I can't choose the file downloaded as it doesn't appear when I go to the location I put it.
Double clicking the file itself and I get the following message "windows can't open this file" "File attachment.php"

What am I doing wrong?

Might sound like a dumb question but before you go to choose the file you have unzipped it right ?

Ok guys, I was advised to give firefox a try as I use internet explorer, so just installed firefox and hey presto I got the zip file, have now installed older firmware and reset my colour, did cold boot and and my colour is now restored. Thanks Dice very much appreciated and I think it was you on the Corsair Forum who advised firefox, brilliant dude thank you so much, very happy bunny again and I won't be updating the bugger again. Thanks everyone.
