Placing devices within the chassis

When you rst start up Corsair Link, there will be a list of auto-detected devices on the left column. You can drag and drop the devices listed from the le-hand side of the screen and place them anywhere on the chassis.

To do this, simply le-click and hold on the device you wish to move, and then drag and drop the icon to the locaon you wish to place it. It may help you for ease of use later to group devices and their associated funcons in the approximate locaon of that device within the chassis. For example, place the CPU device and monitoring tools where the CPU exists within the case.

You do not have to use the default chassis image and can change this to a range of pre-loaded images. To change the background image of the chassis, double or right click anywhere on the chassis image and then select a new image from the list that appears. You can also upload your own, with the "Upload a Custom Image" funcon.

Changing device properes

Temperature Sensor Conguraon

To change the properes of any device or monitoring funcon, simply right click or double click on any device icon. This will bring up the properes window on the right hand side. Here you can change the properes of the device using the drop down menus. You can see here we are adjusng the conguraon for Cooling Temp 1. These devices can also be renamed.

Device Conguraon

Because some motherboards report RPM speeds dierently depending on the chipset being used, it may be necessary to set a speed divider for the pump RPM as needed. If the RPM seems abnormally high or low compared to what you have, enable the speed divider.

Fan Conguraon

Selecng a fan will enable several opons in the drop down menus on the right hand panel

1. Low Noise - If you require your system to be as quiet as possible, select Quiet mode to run the fan at low speeds regardless of the temperature. This will result in very low noise levels but higher temperatures.

1. Balanced - Balanced mode is a pre-set mode that is designed to balance the performance and noise levels of the fans. Typically this is a very low noise level and RPM at low loads, and a faster, but not obnoxious noise level at higher loads.

1. High Performance - Select this mode to allow the fan speeds to increase to their maximum as the temperature rises. This is the noisiest, but best performing onpon.

1. Custom - This seng will allow you to fully customize the fan speed based of temperature thresholds and ranges. For a CPU cooler, make sure each fan is ed to your CPU temperature or Coolant Temperature, and then you can personalize the fan performance prole to your liking.

1. Fixed RPM - Select this opon to set the fan speed at your desired RPM regardless of the temperature readings. The fan will run at a constant speed, and will not adjust based on temperature.

1. Maximum RPM - This opon overrides any custom settings and runs the fan at it maximum speed, regardless of temperature.

LED Setup

Selecng the LEDs (if equipped) allows you to customize the LED lighng within your case. You can choose the color and whether or not to have normal or cycling lighng.

You can add LEDs to device groups and then link the colors to trigger events within the group, for example, if a certain temperature goes too high, you can have the LEDs change color to signify that.

You can manually select colors by simply selecng the appropriate "strength" of the RGB (Red, Green, and Blue) channels. Full blue is shown below.

Or, if you want to have the LED change colors based on temp, select the LED you want to control, and then add it to a group using the drop down menu.

Select the “trigger” temperatures for the LED in that temperature zone, then select a color for each trigger temperature right underneath. The LED will then automatically fade from one color to the next as it crosses over the zones. In the image below, if the temperature is at 30C, it will be a dark blue, and at 45C it’ll be a greenish yellow. This is not a hard and fast transition, but gradual, so between 30C and 45C, the colors eventually shi to the target color.

LED Custom Name.

You can customize the LED name by pung your own preferred label. Click the box right next to "Name" under Conguraon panel. In this example we have re-labelled LED1 to Case LED. This feature applies to any device.

Adding a device to a control group

In the Groups tab, you can group devices together using the drag and drop method and assign them to control groups.

Simply drag devices from the right hand column into the control group you want them to be in. In the image below LED1 is assigned the temperature group, so the fans and LED will act as one device dependent upon the sengs for the devices within the group. LED2 will vary according to its own set of properes as it is not assigned to a group.

Graph tab

At rst, the graph tab will be blank. Click on the screen and the Graphing Conguraon Panel will show up on the right hand side of the screen. You can view the status of your devices and system over me with the Graph Tab. To see individual devices, select or deselect them from the conguraon panel on the right.

Closing the conguraon panel shows the device color key.

Saving a Prole

You can save your prole, load exisng proles or create new proles from the File menu. You can have mulple proles for dierent uses, such as quiet, low power compung or full performance for gaming.

To create a new prole, go to Opons tab and under Prole secon click new. A window will pop up where you can name of the prole you would like to create then save it.

Power Tab

The Soware will automatically detect a Corsair PSU that is compatible with Corsair Link. If a Corsair Link enabled PSU is detected, the power tab menu will be populated with informaon that is outpued by the PSU. In the

example below, Eciency in percentage and Power in/Power out values are available for monitoring. Voltage on each of the PSU rails is displayed as well.

The OCP secon.

This will allow you to select a check box and enable Over Current Protecon (OCP) or Mul-Rail Mode on some PSUs. The slider rail is acvated upon selecon of the check box and you can then adjust the OCP seng from 20A to 40A. This selecon is automatically wrien back to the PSU upon data point adjustment. If this threshold is crossed the PSU will shut itself down to prevent itself from crossing the user-dened safety threshold.

Opons Tab

General Opons

This secon is where you can manage Corsair Link sengs. You can select whether you want to have your temperature scale measured in °C or °F values. You will have the opon to run Corsair Link during Windows start up or you simply run it manually once Windows has fully loaded. Selecng skins, font color, and restarng the service will be under this secon as well. Clicking “Reset to Default” box will set all values and sengs back to default prole.

Devices

This part of the soware is where you can see all the informaon that you would like to nd out about each device. It will display valuable informaon, such as device rmware version, CPU info, Motherboard info, and more. Simply click the arrow buon below the name of the device and the informaon will be shown via drop down text. The Device Management tab also allows you to install updated rmware.

Firmware Update:

The Opon/Device tab will allow you to install the latest rmware update. Click the "Update Firmware" box, a window will appear. Select the device that you need to update from the drop down menu.

Once the device is selected, click the box next to the le tab, then select the Firmware le update you have downloaded and click open. Select start to initiate the rmware update.
