Each manufacturer offers a different application, some even up to two, as is the case with Logitech with Logi Options+ and Logitech G HUB.
The only thing this is good for is to force users to use peripherals that are from the same manufacturer, as long as they don’t mind dealing with different applications of this type that start together with Windows.
Like it or not, it is the only way to get the most out of our peripherals. If we talk about the peripherals of Corsairwe have to talk about iCUE, an application much easier to use to manage the components and peripherals of this manufacturer than others in which it seems that it is necessary to take a university course to take advantage of all its functions.
Problems with iCUE and NVIDIA graphics
A few days ago NVIDIA released a new GeForce Game Ready update reaching version 566.03, an update that offers support DLSS 3 and Ray Tracing for the latest releases like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6the DLC Alan Wake 2: The Lake House and Dragon Age: The Veilguard among others already available on the market.
However, as with Windows updates and any operating system in general, an update can cause other applications to malfunction.
In this specific case, the launch of the latest NVIDIA drivers has meant a break with iCue, the application that allows you to configure the operation and lighting of PC components and Corsair peripherals, considerably raising the CPU consumption.

NVIDIA announced a couple of days ago that users who use iCUE and/or the android emulator Bluestacks could suffer from a high CPU consumption problem, a problem that the company is already working on to find the solution that will arrive along with the next update.
Fix High CPU Consumption Issue with iCUE
Inviting users to wait for a new NVIDIA driver update is not a solution that is liked by users of Corsair components and peripherals and fortunately, there is an alternative.
For NVIDIA users – As a temporary workaround, try rolling back your NVIDIA Drivers to 561.09 while this issue is being investigated. https://t.co/ku94w7z8Wd

Through Corsair’s X (Twitter) account, this manufacturer invites all users who are suffering from a high CPU consumption problem after installing version 566.03 of the NVIDIA drivers released on October 22 to use the version 561.09 which was released on September 11.
This is a problem for users who want to play video games that have just arrived on the market, as long as they want to enjoy them with the highest quality that their graphics allow, however, it is the only option available at this time to continue using it with normality, even if it is to play other titles already available on the market before the launch of version 561.09.
