Corsair Hydro Series H115i RGB Platinum

[dricks]

Hi,

this cooler, namely h115i RGB Platinum, is plagued with USB Disconnection problems.
When you launch a game, you get an USB Disconnected sound, the RGB on the cooler switch to Hardware mode and temp/fan speed readings are frozen in iCue, meaning that USB communication is broken.
It seems related to be a bug in the pump firmware, and Corsair hasn't been able to correct this issue as of now.

It would really be great to test some real case usage when you review something, not only pure synthetic benchmarks.

I had no USB disconnection issues, Cooler is still in use and has no issues. So if the issue doesn't appear I can't report on it. But yes lets just assume 100% of the coolers are impacted. Which if that was the case would result in a recall for a defective product. Or a lawsuit.

But yeah that said, used the unit for awhile stuck in a friends system where its been working happily since the review went live. Still no problems to date.
