Switch from NZXT to Corsair

[r_dettling]

So what Corsair products should I get to replace my NZXT HUE+, GRID+, LED strips, LED Fans and Kraken.

Just wondering because i'm having a terrible experience lately with NZXT

While I dont think its worth the money, especially since corsair has some issues with their software quite often, but here would be the replacements to the HUE+ and GRID+

The Kraken would be replaced by any hydro series (specially the i series)

I have been running the LINK and CUE (now iCUE) software for quite a while and never ran into any issues minus my K95 needing to be plugged into USB 3 to fully recognize.

The biggest hurdle is the learning curve for creating custom profiles for the RGB but otherwise its pretty simple software.

For fans the current ones Corsair has are the LL series and ML series in RGB. I currently have the HD series but I think the LL series are better while the ML have better bearings.

Currently my issues with CUE are my K70 and M65 losing their lighting profiles and settings after the PC goes to sleep (requiring a reboot), and my H100i used to lose its color and fan curve sometimes too.

Its bearable, but kinda annoying.

Have you installed the iCue software? I used to have the H100i lighting color issue but haven't since the latest firmware and software version.

Yeah, I just reinstalled it a few days ago (I no longer use the H100i) for my new k70.
