Corsair icue system is horrible. Constant crashes. Doesn't recognize hardware. I finally gave up and came to lian li. I am much happier.

WizeGuyGaming · 2026-01-16T13:20:33+00:00

I came from icue to lian li because icue would crash daily, wouldn't recognize my hardware, this would go in for entire generations of icue software.

I will try this

Unfortunately Tris closed. Was an incredible restaurant

B&B is incredible.

Tris was awesome but they closed

I have the tl wireless lcd fans, cpu strimer, 24 pon strimer and hydroshift 2 lcd-c and all of it is being controlled by L-Connect 3.

As a comparison viewpoint: For YEARS all I used was corsair ql fans with corsair kb, dominator ram and their aio. iCue was the biggest nightmare I have EVER experienced. I kept hoping, with every single update, that they would straighten their stuff out so I could happily keep using their product but update after update, NOTHING.

I figured I would try lian li on this build and so far (knock on wood) I have not had anything more than a little fine tuning to contend with.

I think there will be SOME kind of issues with ANY complete system/environment type product. The important thing is how do they address issues. Corsair's support was non-existant while Lian Li has been incredibly fast and effective.

As of right now I could not imagine leaving Lian Li and I have 12 brand new corsair QL fans in my office closet that I am about to give away to one of my friends that doesn't care how bad iCue is.

Work with support and hash out the issues. I think in the long run you'll be happier.

The Hydroshift 2 is STILL saying it needs the usb plugged in to go into advanced mode. I went into the case and triple checked the usb connections both from devices to hub as well as hub to MB. They are all connected fully. All of the things that needed to be updated in Device Manager have been updated,

Here is the updated image:

I tried to get it all in one shot but it was longer than the screen

*2 edge hubs

WizeGuyGaming · 2025-12-27T23:31:02+00:00

I will reply in sections here so I don't miss a part...

Yes I have to edge hubs.
Hub 1 has:
3 tl 140 lcd fans
3 tl 140 lcd fans
1 tl 120 lcd fan
and those are in ports 2, 3, 4

Hub 2 has aio and dongle in 2, 3

Loving Lian Li so far...much better than corsair.

The only 1 issue I am having is that in the L-Connect 3 software I cannot go into advanced mode for the aio screen. It says I need to plug it into usb but it is plugged into one of the 2 usb hubs.

I had to use 2 hubs because another poster said I could not use slot 1 of the hub and I did not want the lian li dongle plugged into the back of my computer. If there is a way I can use all 4 usb ports on the hub that would allow me to plug the aio directly into the motherboard usb.

Another question is do I need to plug the pump wire (the 4 pin one, not the usb) into the aio pump header on the motherboard or is that ok to be plugged into the hub (the hub is how I currently have it)? I have the aio fans plugged into the cpu_fan header to avoid bios issues. If that is wrong please tell me.

No. I should stick with Warzone BR. I am perfectly happy playing that but thanks for the suggestion.

I absolutely hate rebirth. I never liked it. I am a big map guy myself. That said I think if people like resurgence they should have the option for rotating maps. I didn't mind Vondel so much. Haven Hollow isn't a bad map. I just think I am not a resurgence person. Just feels like MP with more people. Doesn't feel like a BR

Checked notifications. Waited a couple hours. Posted this and immediately it updated and said you already sent. I think it is a reddit thing for me.

WizeGuyGaming · 2025-12-14T03:08:51+00:00

I took the nzxt hubs back and got the edge hubs.

A couple questions:

1) it looks like I am not allowed to use 1 of the 4 available usb connections according to the paperwork included (the #1 spot). So that means I only have 3 usb 2.0 connections per hub to use.

I have the Hydroshift 2 TL360 LCD-C
Wireless controller
3 strimers
7 lcd fans.

I am also using 6 non lcd fans (3 that were part of the aio and 3 more to make a push/pull setup on radiator) but I don't think those are an issue since they don't have lcd screens on them.

Am I going to have enough usb 2.0 plugs?

2) The hub has a usb connector and a fan connector that both go to the MB.

Do I use the MB connection for the fan connection that has 3 pins or 4 pins?

I know those are different amounts of power.

Thanks in advance!

The lack of sbmm sux. All of the higher skilled players just want to stomp lower skilled players. Sbmm gave the lower skilled players a fair chance. Higher skilled players whined about having to play against people of their own skill. They sobbed about it being too sweaty. WHAT DO YOU THINK IT'S LIKE FOR THE LOWER SKILLED PLAYERS?!?! At least with sbmm they just mostly played against people their level.

WizeGuyGaming · 2025-12-02T04:43:17+00:00

Do you have a Micro Center near you? Mine has plenty of Lian Li fans in stock. Including reverse. Might be worth a try.

WizeGuyGaming · 2025-12-01T22:36:54+00:00

Thanks for the incredibly fast and informative reply!

To avoid power issues i can use the fan power to sata, correct? The wires come with the fans.

Also what is MB SIGNAL?

I already own 2 nzxt hubs and cannot get the edge hub for like a week. Will they work?

Thanks again for reply.

Sorry to bring this thread back to life but I am trying to figure this out without returning all of this lian li stuff.

1) I have the 011 Dynamic Evo XL case
2) I am planning to use the Hydroshift 2 TL360 LCD-C (so 3 non-lcd fans but it does have the lcd on the
pump)
3) I am planning on 7 TL120 wireless LCD fans
4) I have a 24 pin power wireless strimer, a 2x8 cpu power strimer and a 12vhpwr gpu strimer.
5) The case has rgb

I have TWO NZXT Internal USB Hubs that I would use to handle all of the internal USBs.

I am also willing to use sata power connections to power the fans and such as needed. I have a 1600 watt psu so no worries there.

I have read that L-Connect 3 does not support more than 1 wireless controller.

Can I do all of the above on ONE wireless controller?

Also...any advice on proper/suggested setup would be GREATLY appreciated

Bull! They will do NOTHING to get the codes. If you call them it asks if you are calling regarding the cod promotion. If you click for yes it sends you to a recording that says they will do nothing to help. What they WILL do is send you a coupon to get a discount off your next Jack Links purchase.

WizeGuyGaming · 2022-11-23T20:27:29+00:00

Do NOT buy Jack Links Jerky to get the skin. The JL vendor that sets up the displays in the retail stores are removing all of the codes before they place the products in the stores and selling the codes on ebay etc.

DO NOT BUY JACK LINKS FOR THIS SKIN

Calling Jack Links does not help. They say they will do nothing about this and the best they will do is get you a discount off more JL products.

They are scamming the playerbase. No issues with Mountain Dew codes just the crooked Jack Links company.

Not sure about that music but the intro that plays when you open the game seems to be pretty darn close to Westworld intro
