Corsair h100i issue regarding firmware

[Ordinem Lars]

Hi guys,

I've just bought my new custom gaming pc with the Corsair H100i. Everything is working as a charm, except for the fact that the cooling doesn't show up in Corsair Link, rendering me unable to change anything. So i tried to install new firmware for it, but when I started updating, it said: "Error loading firmware". I'd really appreciate it if someone can come with a fix. My Motherboard is MSI Z97-GD65. I've already seen suggestions about switching the usb headers that connects the pump to the mobo, but i can't seem to get the usb out. I also do not have an anti static wristband or something like that.


Thanks in advance!

you don't need an antistatic wristband, just touch the case before the other parts

Which firmware version does the H100i that you are using come with?

Pretty 100% sure that it is the basic version out of the box, as i haven't updated anything yet. Corsair link is version 2.4.5110

After fiddling around a bit on the interwebs, i've found out that the h100i needs some tweaking in the registry, as well as updating the corsair link software to a beta driver, in order to be ran correctly on windows 8.1. It is working fine now. Thanks for your help!
