iCUE 5.2.128
Released 05/29/2023
New Product Support
Modular Installation
With the latest update to iCUE, we have changed how iCUE will be installed and updated. With iCUE’s new modular infrastructure, it will no longer consist of a single large package. Instead, users will be downloading a very small installer that, when started, will uninstall existing versions of iCUE and automate the downloading and installation of the necessary modules.
To address the previous experience of iCUE having a large footprint (3+ GB), we have streamlined the experience by only installing what is required to support your products. For example, if iCUE only detects a K100 RGB Air Wireless keyboard, then the software will only download two modules: iCUE Core and the K100 RGB Air Wireless module.
As a result, iCUE will no longer need to host the files to support products you currently do not own yet and will now only take up a fraction of the hard drive space compared to previous versions.
If in the future, you add more iCUE products for your setup, iCUE will automatically detect them and install the additional modules you need for the products to be fully supported. Users will also be able to choose and install specific third-party plugins from our partners that share our ecosystem.
After this update, iCUE will no longer require a complete uninstallation and installation of the software. Instead, you will only be prompted to update if there are changes to your modules or if you have new products that are supported in iCUE.
We are confident that this change to iCUE will make our platform flexible and efficient, as we continue to both improve the features in the software and make your experience a memorable one.

DIY Product Enhancements
We were able to identify an issue with the XMP Profile Manager affecting users with CORSAIR DDR4 memory in iCUE. As a result, we have temporarily removed the XMP Profile Manager feature and will re-implement it once we are able to provide a fix. Users on existing versions of 5.0 and 5.1 should upgrade to this version of iCUE immediately.
We apologize for any inconvenience as a result of this problem, and any users that have issues with iCUE and their DRAM should reach out to our tech support team at https://help.corsair.com/hc/en-us/requests/new for assistance.
