H80i and Windows 8.1 Fix

[Coswar]

Found a work around of sorts! This is for Windows 8.1 users, and it allowed me to gain control of my entire H80i! These are my steps for anyone wanting to replicate;

 

1)Installed Corsair link from downloads section Here (2.4)

2) Uninstalled program and driver(both in Programs and features) after H80i was not detected

3)Did a restart

4)Installed the beta version (2.5.5) provided by Sym above (here)

5)Was asked to update my firmware by the software when I opened it 

6) Realised that everything apart from my fans were detected- and my fans became very loud and spun too fast 

6)Uninstalled the software and driver (from Programs and features)

7)Installed the original (non beta software -2.4) again. here

8) Open the software - and BOOM there was the entire H80i - including the fans. Turned down the fan speed to Quiet mode , and it was happy days!

 

Must say this was using an Asus motherboard , FX 8320, with Windows 8.1 installed. (Also - because this was mentioned before - I have AI Suite installed , but it didn't seem to cause any problems)

 

This Fix may also work for the H100i but I need someone to test it. Feel free to PM me if you find a better alternative to this workaround, and we can update this Guide.
