Although I like some of Corsair's products, iClue(less) isn't one of them....

Perhaps they should devote moar resources towards fixing it so it won't crash so frequently and/or lock up your machine before they worry about expanding it's already bloated interface & functions....

Bro iCue is the worst. It is so clunky and because I use a specific corsair mouse I can't use the most up to date version. It slows down computer startup and is just awful.
Been using it for 4 years now.

What Corsair needs to do as make some daisy chainable fans. All those cables for their fans if you have multiple is horrid to deal with cable management wise. Get with the program Corsair.

iQUE eating up to 500MB RAM when running in the background for my K95 RGB. Worthless pice of s..t software. First rewrite it from the scratch, and then we can speak about using it for something. Maybe.

Are you really complaining about 500MB? This is freaking 2022 where people have 32GB+ of system memory and youre complaining about 500MB like its 2004. Get over yourself.

Here is a screenshot of my task manager from Aug 16th. It hardly uses any memory let alone CPU. Get over yourself.

Yes, in 2022 32GB RAM is average, that's true. I'm not the only one who complaining about iCUE. I mainly complain about the bloat what that software can contain :). Look also at razer synapse, that's also eating the ram like hell. You buy 3 peripherials from separate vendors, and their control softwares will eat more than 1GB of RAM.

Here is my task manager from iCUE:

i never liked icue , there is always the ocasional crash, same for razer, same for cam. Really i started using aquatuning software when i bought some watercooling parts from aquacomputer and that software works amazingly well by comparison. too bad you need to pay for it after a couple years if you decide to renew.

Looks like Corsairs heavily invested and looking to expand this proprietary prison of an eco system. 5-6 years ago I imagined by now iCUE and CAM would give in and mobo RGB vehicles would be the solution forward. It would have been nice to have all-things-RGB under one eco-system with shared compatibility across the board. Oh well, its a good business model seeing so many of these corsair/nzxt units get sold and people seem more than happy to stick to them. TBH, i've had some terrible experience with both of them in the past... but of late, things are running smoothly (more-so CAM).

Sounds like you want Signal RGB.
