Icue vs corsair utility engine11/11/2023 Frequently, after booting up your computer, you'll get a message saying your WattMan settings didn't work properly and have been reset to defaults. This feature comes thanks to the addition of WattMan, and it sounds great, but until recently there was a huge flaw: no saved profiles. AMD Radeon SettingsĪMD's Radeon Settings provide some cool features, including the ability to overclock your GPU without the use of any external utilities. Unfortunately, getting Link to work properly on a new build sometimes requires jumping through extra hoops-there was a buggy build at one point that didn't install the device driver properly, so you couldn't even monitor your new H110i. Link also nicely lets you monitor non-Corsair hardware, a feature I wish carried over to mouse and keyboard control software. Similarly, the system-monitoring utility Corsair Link works as expected without the need for profiles or logging in. Like Logitech, Corsair's gaming software Corsair Utility Engine (CUE for short) lets me adjust lighting and DPI settings without requiring an account login or active internet connection. (It didn't require this in the past, so this is going the wrong direction in our view.) It's not the biggest hassle if you don't update too often, but for someone like me who is frequently testing fresh systems for review, that one additional hoop to jump through is frustrating indeed. It's relatively lightweight, but annoyingly makes you login before you can download any drivers. Nvidia GeForce drivers can be downloaded directly from, but the most streamlined way to keep your GPU up to date is by using Nvidia's GeForce Experience software. You can set up user profiles if you want, and most, if not all, Logitech peripherals have on-board memory to remember your settings, the lack of a cloud-stored profile means you'll need to set up new settings if you get a new mouse. The software itself does everything I want it to, and does so without requiring an account/profile login or internet connection. Luckily, the annoyance largely ends there. Logitech hits you with annoying notifications to install its Gaming Software whenever you plug in a Logitech G peripheral.
