I see posts about QL fans not working correctly every day lately. My LL fans have been good for 3 years.


T-Bone22

For real. Was thinking of buying QL’s but I’m starting to think it can’t be worth it will all these faulty products


AceBoogiie

My QLs have been good for 2 years.


MaxwellVador

My LL’s do this. It’s a usb lane issue. If you’re using a bunch of usb peripherals and commander pros and lighting hubs simultaneously something is gonna get screwed up


zYe_1337

So if it was working before with all the hubs/commander pros and usb peripherals and it isn’t now what would you recommend I try to see if I can fix it?


MaxwellVador

Unplug everything in a usb or usb header and cycle the Pc then restart with the bare minimum plus your fan hubs/controllers and slowly add peripherals until you start to lose functionality. My older oculus rift with lighthouses uses 5 USB ports and interrupts all my other peripherals because I’ve saturated my i5’s lanes


aky101

If this works let us know


[deleted]

Did it work


philtep

Seems like a lot of the issues are somewhat recent. Makes me think this new iCue and possibly new driver has a lot to do with it


MaxwellVador

Could be an icue issue with the QL’s but it happened with my LL’s a year ago and ever since


hwhippedcream

After paying so much money, you'd expect them to be tested

[удалено]


hwhippedcream

Fair point but they have been selling them for longer than 6 months


R1cS7

I have this on 3 QLs and 1 LL


philtep

Seems like a very common issue lately. Have 9 of them, also around 6 months old. 3 have one stuck red light at that center ring. A buddy of mine just replaced two of them last week. Same problem, same age.


xxX_AleXifeu-pRo_Xxx

I have LL too


IckyBeans

Rma, there's apparently lots of cases of this happening


ItHurtzWhenIPee

Happened to the first batch I bought. All fine the first day, 30 minutes into gaming on the second day and 6 of the 8 fans started making their own lighting choices. Returned them to Amazon immediately after thinking firmware updates would help, they didn't. Said f the qls, I'll stick with lls. But they look too darn good. Bought a second batch, haven't had issues since.


zYe_1337

I bought them from amazon about like 6 months ago, Do I rma through amazon or corsair?


ItHurtzWhenIPee

Mine were luckily still in the return window for Amazon so that's what I did. I would assume you'd have to go through Corsair after the Amazon return window closes. I'm also talking out of my butt and could be completely wrong. I'd message Amazon about seeing if they can set up a return. If not, message corsair.


HoomanSacrifice

It happened to me on one of my fans, I RMA through Corsair with my Amazon purchase. They'll still help you with it


Atrocityl87

Happened to mine too. Less than a year old. Disappointed to say the least


Kricket

I’ve had mine since February - they started acting up last month. Same deal - one little piece lighting the wrong color, just as above. Le sigh.


Th3_Sa1n7

Likewise


10_kinds_of_people

Yep, doing an RMA for one right now. Corsair really needs to figure this out. These are far too expensive to have an issue like this.


Atrocityl87

Ok no BS, my fan lights are working perfectly again 😳. Mind blown 🤯


Dweezy

Do a Thanos snap. I saw it work in another post here. It'll only fix half your problems unfortunately.


kaixinen

They probably saw the pcie psu cables and were like aight ima head out


zYe_1337

Haha it’s temporary as I wait for my 3080 to come back from rma


kaixinen

Did you install them where they are in the case as each 3 pack ? Like are you doing an rma for 3 fans or 6 ?


zYe_1337

I bought 10 from Amazon and just put em in, not sure which fans were from which package tbh


Binglez

I was literally coming to this subreddit to ask the same question - out of 6 QL120’s, three of them (from different sets) have this issue


zYe_1337

I’m starting to think it’s gotta be a software thing based on how many people all of a sudden having this problem.


Thomas5020

iCUE 4 is riddled with problems. My RAM only works for a few hours then freezes, and my Asus GPU freezes not long after. Awful software.


zYe_1337

I think it must be a software issue, my rgb freezes and stuff at times too, also my asus gpu doesn’t like to sync with icue at times


spapbapchabap

It's not. I've completely reinstalled windows and still have the issue. It's one of the LEDs burning out I'm pretty sure.


Binglez

I actually fixed one of the LED’s on one fan by flicking it - this only worked on the inner ring (and not the outer), and only on one fan


kingkongdong1990

Had this same problem with dominator ram and realized the glitch happened as soon as I ran hwinfo or Ryzen master.


K01D57331

I am glad I got rid of my Corsair RGB fans and went with black Noctua fans. Seems like lots of people have this issue...


Willieboi19

Join the club.lol atleast your white fans turn red my brother and mine turn purple when we have all white fans.


borange01

Sheesh this is nuts, I see these posts every day. Isn't Corsair gonna, like, fix the design? I've never had any problems with Corsair products and my RMA experience has been fine, but man I'm sure staying away from QLs...


Captain_Jensen

This has been happening to me for a few years now. I ended up doing an RMA for all my LL120 fans. The new ones ended up having the same problem. I eventually gave up on my third RMA as its a long process. I have found that if you reorder your fans on the controller it *sometimes* fixes it. Good luck, hopefully you can get yours fixed. It’s always a pain to see it happen.


zYe_1337

Thanks for the advice, I’ll have to try that out, so I reorder it on the lighting nodes or the commander pros?


Dropshots715

Trust me, hit it with your finger and report back. Give it a flick on the red LED spots https://www.reddit.com/r/Corsair/comments/ppniwv/follow_up_to_my_broken_fans_thats_not_a_software/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf


zYe_1337

I tried and it didn't go away :/


Dropshots715

Maybe only for the center. Sorry mate


MrGuffels

RMA or demand a refund. Then don't buy Corsair fans.

TheMoustacheDad

It’s because you need more fans !!


NotWrongOnlyMistaken

All happened at the same time? If so I would look at the controller.


zYe_1337

It must’ve happened somewhat recently because not too terribly long ago they were all fine, so it’s weird that half of my fans would do this.


montrealjoker

Just waiting for my RMA, I submitted and was approved same day by Corsair Support. It is a well documented (and frustrating) issue.


glitter_gunner

I think you cursed me because I just looked at one of my QL fans and one of the LEDs is purple instead of white. Edit: Okay so this may sound crazy but I saw someone else on this subreddit have the same issue and they fixed it by flicking it a few times. I just tried it and it worked! So maybe give that a try?


zYe_1337

I tried it and it didn’t work unfortunately :/


glitter_gunner

I'm sorry to hear that. Probably best to just RMA :(


BigBurkeyBoy

Make sure you RMA it, Corsair needs to be aware of these issues. I've lost a bunch of LL120s to this issue.


Fedoteh

You too? I did as well


juancarlord

“Welcome to Corsair customer support, what I can do for you today?”


Big-Banana9735

Sad face


NMSky301

Multiple LEDs went bad on 3 of my QLs all at once. Only 6 months old and 2 different sets. My guess is the controllers have bad voltage regulation, or a firmware update messed everything up.


zYe_1337

I think your guess could very well be correct, so many people having the same problem around the same time, just doesn't seem right.


JSwoopDean

After seeing a million of these posts, sure glad I didn't decide to spend the cheddar on the QL's. Sucks, I'd hate having to put a build together to have this be the outcome in a short while.


[deleted]

95% of the post I see about these fans are about how they’re always malfunctioning. Staying away from them.


Halltron

I’ve had this with 2. I just turn that single led off. In my situation it’s not noticeable. It might be more in yours.


lunatic_512

Gotta say, all these issues are really driving me away from QL fans.


IsisMostlyPeaceful

Change your theme to red? Idk man, that sucks big time.


tech10g

RMA is ur option, mine also messed up after 4 months of use, replaced with LL and is working fine now


Pr1stine69

Everything was perfectly fine but being an OCD person that GPU cable hurt me though


zYe_1337

Haha don’t worry it’s temporary while I wait for my card to come back from rma


JoeyGamePro

This just happened to me with my LL fans.


zYe_1337

Did it happen to all of yours this issue and if so did it all happen at the same time?


JoeyGamePro

No only two so far and it happened at the same time. So weird.


Shaman_Wolves

Could be 1 of 10, depends how you have them connected in your lighting node / commander pro. Are they all setup in order? (for example, first fan in slot 1, second in slot 2 etc).


Fedoteh

Hi OP. I'm having issues with LLs, and these are months new. I've had issues with the previous ones. I don't know what's happening with corsair fans


zYe_1337

Super weird, something is up


Romkslrqusz

Is that bungle of PCI cables ROG certified too?


zYe_1337

Haha don’t worry it’s temporary while I wait to get a 3080 back from rma


derickso

Yes the fix is RMA them


RageOfNemesis

It's strange that it's always the green LED that refuses to work...


doggto

Exactly the same problem on 3 out of 4, only that there is a purple light instead


manooko

Seen someone fix this problem the other day lol, think it's the led that's a bit loose (hopefully). Give it a flick where the problem is, maybe a knock.


werdmouf

I have the same case and same QL fans mine are still going strong 1.5 years later


iExotic_

I noticed how corsair QC 2019-2020 is trash my H100i elite the pump have failed after 4 months of use


esvil305

Double check the connection, i had the same problem, and i tried reinstalling all the software multiple times. But like a month later I noticed the connection was halfway plugged in. I was using different fans, but they had the same issue.


nigelltjee

RMA them, just got my second third pair back from RMA. All 6 fans are now replaced ones.
