I don't need any Corsair bloatware on top of ASUS's

iCUE motherboard plugin does a far better job than Asus Aura. If you don't have a lot of Corsair gear then it probably isn't it worth it. But for anyone that wasn't aware of this and uses iCUE you have this option.

The only Corsair product I have is my PSU, and that isn't RGB, also I use static colors, as I cannot stand any blinky-blinky effects, so iCUE would be bloatware running in the background for me.

Have to agree with you Cliff , I do have to use iCUE at the moment ....because I installed their Commander Pro on my motherboard to control my fan speeds and cpu cooler ....BIG Mistake .....I hate iCUE and will be changing this setup soon.

I do use iCue for blinky-blinky lights, but current profile is subtle and pastel.

The iCUE i'm using is a older version iCUESetup_3.25.60 ...which works ok and is not as bloated as their newer releases.

I wouldn't say it's bloated if it provides a useful service. It powers 8 fans, 4 memory sticks, 4 RGB strips and the motherboard.
