HELP! Strix 3080 RGB not working 20 min out of the box!!!

[anthonyc813]

oh my god.
i downloaded all the software on the asus site as per instructions. did the Aura Sync and Armory package and was able to play with the lighting effects.

Then i did the BIOSupdate... now I cannot get the light bar on. uninstalled everything and re downloaded. nothing.

can I uninstall this BIOS update?? please say I did not break a 1000 card in 20 minutes of using. dont even know where to find the file!

BIOS updating a graphics card is never recommended unless you're trying to solve a specific problem with its function.

 

you can flash the older BIOS back on, but if something has gone wrong and you can't fix it you will need to send it in for RMA.

You would do the exact same thing you just did to flash your current BIOS, just with a different BIOS version.

 

Did you try restarting your PC and unplugging the GPU though?

restarted several times. will open it up and unplug the card then back in

full blown panic mode. #$)(%#$()%*#

something in here??

Just to be sure, your card is working correctly except for the RGB?

 

Also, the Asus Strix has dual bios. Did you try using the BIOS switch on the card to change to silent BIOS? That one shouldn't have been updated.

Do you have any other RGB software installed as well?  Some RGB software will hijack components and prevent them from being seen in other apps.  icue had added an plugin for Asus and I had to disable that before aura sync would see my strix.

 Delete the Asus plugin folder under C:\Program Files (x86)\Corsair\CORSAIR iCUE Software\plugins. The downside here is that you'll need to do this with every update.

 

If the plugin is working for your card,  edit the lighting profile to include the video card.

uninstalled iCue and the 3080 light bar is stuck on blue from the instant lighting. Armory Crate still cannot find it. Aura Sync sees it but gives an error when I hit the play button trying to see it it works

THANK YOU!!!! the light bar is off the blue but stuck on Red breathing. which ASUS program do I use fo rthe card? Aura Sync or Armory crate??

 

 

[Slayerking92]

Armory Crate is the current flavor.  I think they moved away from aura sync.

I got Aura sync to work for 10 seconds Armory crate keeps crashing everytime I open it or giving me an error if I manage to keep it open

[anthonyc813]

[anthonyc813]

OK this is working. Armory keeps crashing and the other one does not detect anything. Aura Sync is working though. can play with the modes and what not. perhaps its due to no RGB headers on board and still using Z97 ??

i give up. f this. going to try Cold War
