Does my “corsair icue component” literally just a cpu cooler and 4 ram sticksneed to take 8gb of my ram?!? I have 32 gigs of ddr4 and they have been there for the 6 months of my computer along side the 240mm aio. With zero issues like this.
Btw sorry for the terrible photo but my computer is not allowing me to even take a screenshot it is that laggy

I just saved the profile of RGB I wanted, so it doesnt have to be running constantly. To avoid it opening every single time you turn ON your PC, go to task manager, go to Startup and disable iCUE
I think you have a memory leak. I’d restart and see what happens. I have 8 devices connected to icue and I’m using 2.3gb of RAM.
iCue is the worst kind of shit. I just have some wireless headphones, and if it wasn’t strictly necessary, I’d get rid of it in a heartbeat. It somewhat conflicts with something else on my pc and crashes the whole pc at random. And I’m not even gonna talk about the deafening sounds it made because of the eq settings… never, ever buying anything else from Corsair.
how do pepæople not know about tge print screen button still….
It is real. And don’t call me Shirley.
Was so nice to get rid of my K70 a few months ago and finally uninstall this crap
icue is a weird program. I needed it to check something about my keyboard and it caused all sorts of glitches and bugs and memory leak. it really needs to be tested more.
Welcome to icue problems, had the same issue
Yes, this is fake, google chrome using less than 1GB ram is not possible
It is real. And don’t call me Shirley.
Memory leaks happen every so often, so limiting what software is running can help mitigate that. Just restart it or restart the device and keep your programs updated.
I have a mouse from them that does this, you just need to uninstall the software and/or block it from start up
I pretty much use only one color scheme for my iCue keyboard (k70 RGB) that also has an onboard hardware save.
In short, I can save the color profile in my keyboard itself so I never have to use iCue.
I’m not sure what you are using iCue for, but FYI…
Just upgraded my PC and purposely stripped everything Corsair iCue and NZXT CAM dependant outta there. Just OpenRGB and FanControl for me from now on.
My Win11 PC idles at > 20GB memory usage after a reboot. For the life of me I cannot work out why
Sure I have the rgb and fan stuff and launchers and so on, but _20_!!!?
I hate that software so much. Used to force crash my PC
Periphery Companies not trying to make complete ass software (any%)
Srsly tho, its always shit
That’s one way to make your customers feel they need more RAM.
pshhh, you think that’s bad? try using one of their 8Khz mice and the CPU usage is INSANE! we are talking spikes up to 65%! the second i learned you could save my lighting profiles to my keyboard and mouse I did and uninstalled that garbage.
I used my desktop to set my mouse up, but all the settings saved to mouse work with my rog even without the software on it. Idk if that would be some type of workaround for people having issues.
All peripheral software is exactly like this but i specifically hate asus armory crate, it runs so many processes in the bg that it is basically malware. Disabled all rgb features and uninstalled that shit in a heartbeat.
Sadly, there’s a lot of people out who don’t know how to take a screenshot, so this is probably real.
“Power Usage: Moderate” Yeah….
That’s why I don’t buy Corsair products anymore. And I hope this is a trend that will catch on.
had iCUE on an old pc for about a year before i realized it was bottlenecking my entire rig. ending the task immediately fixed my stuttering and improved performance. no more corsair for me after that
Have you tried downgrading to a lower version? I’d get the lowest version that supports your hardware. Icue kept pestering me to upgrade to a whole new version, and then it proceeds to tell me that my keyboard and mouse are no longer compatible…. Wut.
Had the same problem with iCue. Thankfully my Corsair mouse was starting to die on me already so I replaced it with a Logitech – so far I’ve had no issues with their software (or Razer’s per my keyboard). Corsair/iCue is just going down the drain ime.
Install it then uninstall it leave the RGB you want still active how?
Open iCUE.
Select the device you want to set up hardware lighting for.
Click Device Memory Mode.
Select the lighting effect you want to apply in the Lighting Type section.
Customize the lighting effect using the options provided
.
Average RGB software experience
I hate iCue. TBH I cant think of a single application like that that I would consider good. They all suck.
Time to use signal rgb or open rgb or any another application besides icue from corsair 😉
iCue bricked one of my sticks of brand new dominator platinums about a year ago.
That was it for me for Corsair.
Yeah, chrome isn’t using nearly enough ram
You need to restart the computer. Something is clearly broken.
I’ve seen Roblox and another of other applications do the same thing typically when the computer wakes up from sleep sometimes it doesn’t go well
Frankly, it’s shocking any of this works at all when you really think about what we’re doing with these computers lol
corsair, overwof and ubisoft. damn triple whammy. You should visit a doctor soon as possible for any diseases.
never buying another Corsair product again.. it stops working all the time, uninstalls itself, won’t reinstall.. won’t assign right colors.. like how fucking hard is it to control LED’s in 2024. shit’s absurd
I can’t believe it either. Surely in a subreddit dedicated to the superiority of the PC, someone would know how to take a screenshot instead of *a photo of their monitor!*
I have like 12 things loaded in ique and it’s only using 500 MB of RAM
I had this issue , memory leak, make sure to delete all CORSAIR files from your system, uninstall it , delete the folders as well, from system/documents/storage etc (even if you press uninstall with the icue its not going to do it correctly , a lot of users are reporting it to corsair)
After doing what i mentioned above and then re downloading icue the problem was solved. But i am really starting to regret getting their products xD Hope it gets fixed for you mate.
Chrome has been dethroned as Ram hog of all time. All hail the new king, iCue
With the exception of mice, gaming specific peripherals are increasingly complete shit solely because of the management software. I’m working to be rid of that with the sole exception of ghub for my Logitech mouse (it’s the least shit application). My next PC build and keyboard will be 100% without RGB because I don’t want to install any of this software just to make the lighting less annoying. Easier to just not have the lights in the first place.
Most Corsair products and software suck. People don’t realize that their product quality is terrible because of the flashy RGB they put in almost everything
not related but what camera did OP use?, I can see RGB leds of the monitor.
third party RBG.
**life is finite.**
**money is infinite.**
**profit is imbalance.**
they literally have to make it so shitty you can’t get rid of it. That’s called capitalism.
I removed all my Corsair rgb fans, controllers and replaced them with normal Corsair non lit fans. Did a hardware profile on my m65 and keyboard and uninstalled Icue entirely and haven’t looked back.
Remember the times when software for hardware was few MB and one process? Yeah. I can’t believe how we went from that to such monstrosity like iCue, G Hub or Armoury Crate. I had keyboards from Corsair, Logitech and now ASUS, and their software is just a nightmare to install, manage and run on your PC. Why do I need to download 1GB of data and run 20 processes in the background just for few macros and RGB settings? Insane.
I thought they were talking about chrome with only 11 tabs open?
