Behavior:
The above response seemed all fine to me, but the LED just stays at the first color (#00B2FF) no matter how hot the CPU runs.

There's several reasons why the LED isn't changing. As a note, OpenCorsairLink doesn't link CPU temperature with LEDs. The hardware only natively supports Liquid Temperature. I assume you are reading the CPU Temp with another program. As the Liquid Temp is 35 Celsius, and if I remember correctly, that would keep the LED on #00B2FF. I don't think you'll see a difference until the Liquid Temp approaches 50 Celsius.

Ahh, that makes sense.. I assume this is the same with the H100i Pro RGB that I have just installed. So, if the hardware is measuring 'liquid temperature' then there would be a significant delay in the liquid heating up..

Is there a way in the future to support OpenCorsairLink to read temp from an external program? I guess that would also mean OpenCorsairLink would have to be always running, though..
