Getting the error "CorsairLink could not initialize or has no sensors" on H100i V2

[stayve12]

I didn't see the H100i V2 in the list of supported water coolers. Any Idea if mine is supported? I get the "CorsairLink could not initialize or has no sensors" error when opening FanControl. All I did was copy FanControl.CorsairLink.dll to FanControl's Plugins folder like the readme said. Is that all that was needed? I am not supposed to do anything with the folders: FanControl.CorsairLink-main > CorsairLink.Abstractions and all of the .cs files that are inside?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I made sure that CorsairService was not running. My BIOS is set to PWM for the CPU pump and CPU fan, then DC for my case fans which FanControl can control fine. BIOS has smart fan turned off too and just a static rpm set.

Side note - I've completely had it with Corsair iCue. The newest version 4.x.x and legacy 3.x.x both control my CPU pump and fans fine, but the app will freeze all RPM levels and stop controlling my CPU fans until I restart the service in iCue settings.

I can't control my CPU pump or fans with the BIOS, MSI Afterburner, or using this plugin for FanControl and Corsair's proprietary iCue software is unreliable at best. I'm about to just buy a new water cooler at this point :/

Hi @stayve12 - can you post your log.txt file (located in the Fan Control directory)?

And yes, only the dll file from the release ZIP file is needed.

Hi @stayve12, the latest release should work for you. See Releases.

It works perfectly, you absolute legend thank you!!!
Is there any specific update process I should follow for this or just let FanControl continue to auto-update?

[EvanMulawski]

Check that Releases page occasionally - Fan Control plugins do not auto-update.

Actually one thing I noticed that does not work anymore. When I start FanControl, it turns off the RGB backlit Corsair logo on my cooler. Just booting up the PC with no Corsair Link or iCue program running it will light up red (color I chose with Link a while ago) but once I start FanControl it turns off the RGB. Any way to change that?

[EvanMulawski]

Try OpenRGB.

Hey, I have a Corsair iCUE H115i Elite Capellix and an Asus Z590 Gaming E Motherboard.

I had my FanControl all setup perfectly. Today I was messing around in my BIOS and when I rebooted I got the same error message posted here. I had changed my Asus Aura setting in my BIOS from "ALL ON" to "STEALTH ONLY". Switching back to "ALL ON" allowed this Plugin to properly read the sensors again! Unsure if this is helpful, but thought I'd chime in.

Log attached just in case.
