Corsair H80i changed colour?

[Cuqie]

My corsair h80i was previously a very light purple. After booting my computer up it is now red.

Is there a reason for this or does it just changed randomly?

You can configure the color and other cooler functions with the Corsair Link software:

Uhh, I might be wrong,but I believe that the red color - especially if you haven't set it to show red - is a temperature or pump warning (That's the worst case scenario)
On a lighter note: The blue LED may be dead (Remember? purple is a combination of red and blue, at least until you get into the ultraviolet spectrum). See if you can get it to show just blue light using your 80i software.

The only way it will show red because of heat is if you set it to manually. Anyway, you will KNOW if the pump is going bad, as it won't be quiet.

It seems to change colour every time I boot it up now, it has been blue, green etc but never changes as its left on so I doubt it could be a temperature warning as it when it was red; it was red as soon as it booted. Strange always used to be a light purple but im guessing it just changes randomly?

Refer to my current post. It does not mean anything bad. Just download corsair link to control it. And make the H80i is plugged into a USB header.
