Corsair Link RGB strips random blinking

I recently got the corsair commander mini and the new rgb strips directly from corsair. After some tinkering, I was able to get the commander mini to recognize all my components. I have to exit out of the initial corsair link start up and then open it up manually and that normally gets it to recognize the H100i. However, when I set the rgb strips a value of 30 for each rgb, the resultant white color will randomly blink. It seems any color will have this problem if it is set to be darker. When the color is set to be bright, say 255 for each rgb, the white doesn't blink. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Wondering if I got a bad rgb strip.
