After doing some research, I found that the DLL caused the BSOD because it conflicts with Corsair Software, it seems it was patched but TT never updated it. Anyways every time I deleted the DLL it re-appeared up because of the scheduled task up until I uninstalled the TT software.

    I agree. It's even bad that on my Gigabyte Z270 mainboard I have in my main PC, Gigabyte's own software even tried to force an upgrade of the installed RGB Fusion version to a version incompatible with the board, while also trying to forcefully install Gigabyte bloatware I don't want! I pretty much uninstalled all of their software. To be fair, I originally wanted an ASUS ProArt mainboard but, due to budget issues, I ended up buying a used Gigabyte mainboard bundle from someone on my local online classifieds.

If they asked me to design some RGB controller, I would plain out refuse to utilize this connector at all! I would simply use an additional FTDI to serial converter IC, creating a completely separated communication bus for the RGB lights. I've build dozens of industrial devices this way, sure my software had the occasional bugs and crashes during it's initial alpha release, yet my software has never caused any full blown BSOD's at all!

    I just use open rgb and Artemis together to control all my lighting through "one" program, you just have a server running with open rgb then everything is controlled through Artemis. I would be open to trying it if it is an option for windows 10 users but I'm not upgrading to windows 11 just for lighting control I already have at my fingertips in a pretty unobtrusive way.

    Ah, the Corsair Vengeance with RGB LEDs. I still have my Corsair Vengeance K70 Silver with just blue LEDs. But I'm gonna fix it up, cause many of the LEDs are dead and even more very dim now, so I'll change the switches away from reds, and swap the LEDs to ones with different colors.

  • @ZipplyZane
    @ZipplyZane2 ай бұрын

    They don't need to make the LEDs the same. They just need some way for them to be calibrated, and then ideally have a color profile built in--or even just a calibration code. I even run into the problem with a first party app on my smart light bulbs. The colors in the app don't match the bulbs, and changing the hue is not consistent at different brightness and saturation levels. If I had an app that would let me calibrate it, having me choose colors and then adjust until the color on screen was closest, this could be perfectly in sync. Heck, even let people share profiles, ala Steam controller configs.

    heres an example. Corsair AF120's come in a white rgb version. the more expensive Corsair LL120 have addressable rgb. and the vengeance ddr4 ram is also addressable. the more expensive fan cant make the same white as the RAM and the cheaper AF120. speaking of different LED's of different brands, some brands in this case dont even use the same LED's between products.

    I tried it on my Asrock B550M Steel Legend (using the firmware from a different board because they abandoned B550 boards), and it seems like the Windows 11 RGB stuff forgets the color settings when the screen is locked. It also tended to repeatedly blink a bit of the default color pattern before Windows 11 overwrites it. I had to flash back to stock, but now I have the wrong motherboard's RGB controller firmware on it. I asked their support what firmware file to flash to get the correct firmware, and they said: oh, just send in the motherboard for replacement. That sounds like a pain, why not just tell me what command to run to flash it back?

    The worst part about having different RGB products is that the software all too often fights each other. Not to mention the stupidly incompatible connectors on things. Currently RGB is kind of like the batteries in cordless tools. Internally they're all the same, they all work the same and there is no real reason why they aren't universally compatible. The only reason they aren't is because the connector bits are purposely made different just to inconvenience the consumer. So after a while I kinda gave up. I left the homebrew software for my RAM RGB and removed all the Razor etc crap. Got an Aquacomputer Farbwerk and just connected everything into that. I now have an RGB controller that only needs software when I want to adjust something and that does everything else on it's own.

Signalrgb, although shows it has the feature, but for the love of god haven't been able to eneable that. And finally MSI software, it works, but its just suck up like 50% of CPU at idle with like tons of unwanted processes running in the background

    Although I think that following a standard is always good, what I really wish is to have options to avoid lightning at all, not by software, but by hardware. I know there is buyers willing to have RGB whatever thingy, but I am sure that without those LED's any peripheal will be cheaper. I have no other option but to swallow those LED's even if I am not using it, since high-end peripheals and components tend to have them as standard.

    Most likely only new or recently released hardware will support this, though, and even then it may not support it fully. Like Razer did add DynamicLighting support to Basilisk V3 Pro, but... Not unless you use Bluetooth with reasoning "at the moment we cannot provide good latency with it enabled for Bluetooth" (copied from a ticket I had with them, and it was a pain to even get them to admit that this limitation exists). Which is likely not true, or at least half true.
