Corsair Utility Engine (iCUE) Software 5.14.93 for macOS

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.

Note: 5.13 was not released to the public due to the large number of changes. This update will take users from v5.12.97 directly to v5.14.93

Software Enhancements:

- iCUE now supports a limited number of Govee products. This allows users to detect and control Govee products in iCUE to synchronize with all iCUE-compatible devices. Features like per-LED lighting and iCUE Murals are compatible with Govee devices in the iCUE ecosystem. This feature can be found in Settings > Integrations.

One of the newest features (and changes in the user interface) is the implementation of Device Memory Mode:
- Device memory mode allows a product to be configured in iCUE in the ‘hardware state’. Previous iterations of iCUE require you to quit iCUE in order for a device to work in the hardware state.
- Hardware states for our devices allow for device behavior without a dependency on iCUE running in the background. Examples of hardware states include the color of lighting on your Fans and Coolers under ‘Hardware Lighting’ or Hardware Key Assignments for your mouse and keyboard.
- When enabling Device Memory Mode, you can now customize your devices with the same hardware configurations without quitting iCUE to view the changes. This will make it easier for you to view and save your changes as you configure your devices
- Device Memory Mode does not change options (and their limitations) in the hardware state but it allows users to manage their configurations in a clearer and more accessible method.
