AI Suite and Corsair Link

[Hopper64]

Is there a compatability issue with AI Suite and Corsair's Link software? I am due to finish this new build with windows 8 on a M6E and a 4770k. The new AI Suite version is 3 I think, but I have seen people describe conflicts between the 2 software products. I'm using a H100i and a Corsair PSU with link software compatability. Opinions here? Thanks.

Yes do not use them both together please. It is not about those two, it is about any two applications that poll the same sensors to provide data readings. You ideally want only one. So decide which monitoring or control software you wish to use and stick with that one only.

Thanks. I thought you might say that. I guess I will need to use Corsair Link then to check the 100i, PSU, and CPU temps, etc. Appreciate the help.

Oh, BTW, how about using EVGA's precision X with Corsair Link as an example. No issue with this? Thanks.

I've got all my parts arriving this week and have the same questions. I've got an H100i and an AX1200i but it seems like I'd need one of the Corsair Link Cooling Kits to take care of case fan speeds.

None at all, nor using Afterburner.

Appreciate the help.

On this same subject, I noticed that USB 3.0 boost is part of the AI Suite. Is it OK to install part of AI Suite, like the USB 3.0 boost without installing the whole thing just to have this feature? Thanks.

Using USB 3.0 boost gives you increased data rates?

USB 3.0 has become the standard high-performance data transfer technology for PCs, however, there is still room for improvement! New USB 3.0 Boost is an exclusive ASUS innovation that goes beyond original USB 3.0 speeds, delivering the latest UAS Protocol (UASP) on ASUS motherboards, and giving consumers up to 170 % faster data transfer performance as well as an accelerated Turbo Mode that supports all USB devices with the traditional BOT (Bulk Only Transfer) protocol.
