Corsair H80i LED light wrong colour

[King_Potato]

Afternoon lads.

Everytime I start up my PC, the H80i CPU block LED's colour is always mixed with blue (which makes it bright pink in my case), so I have to change it in corsair link everytime (where, surprisingly, it's not set to a different colour; it's set to just red, as it should be).

I really want it to be just red all the time; bright pink doesn't go well with a black-red themed build. Any fixes for this?

Cheers,
-King Potato

According to this site:

http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/printpage/Corsair-H80i-CPU-Cooler-Review/1709

the lights change according to the temperature, and can be set using the the software downloaded from cosairs website (in case you didnt' get all the software installed for it by chance)

Having the colour based on temperature is one of the options you can pick in Corsair Link; which I do not have it set to.

Most hits I find entail changing the firmware to fix the LED issue:

Okay, thanks in advance then, but please don't link me to this: http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=128345 ; it only made things much worse for me and the installation files provided there have some dodgy extention I can't run at all.

I KNOW THIS LINK IS A YEAR OLD BUT IN CASE SOMEONE ELSE IS LOOKING FOR THE ANSWER. Download the corsair link program. Open the link program, upper left corner click on home, to the right you will see a box that says the cooler I.D. info I.E. H80i. Under that you will see a box with a small led bulb in it. Click on that. That will open the led configure box. Check box that says enable lighting. Next to enable lighting there will be a box, click on that. That will open select color light. There will be a big display box to the left and a small box full of color spectrum to the right. Click on the color you want in the smaller box. THEN in the big box you can pick the shade of the color you selected. MAKE SURE YOU SEE A SMALL CIRCLE WHEN YOU SELECT YOUR SHADE. At the bottom of the box it will show you the shade you picked. Then click on ok. This will bring you back to the configure led box, click on apply and you should have your color now! :}
