I've had a 4790K for the past 6 years or so, and I figure it's time to move to some newer hardware.  I'm looking into getting a Ryzen 5600X, 32GB of G.Skill Trident Z RGB, and an Asus ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING motherboard.  I'll be combining this with my existing Kraken X61 and an Asus RTX 2080 STRIX.  

 

So the question is, is there some way I can combine all this RGB malarkey into a single program?  I'm hoping to avoid a bunch of programs that have to run on startup.  I don't want any special effects or anything; I just want to press the power button, have it all turn pink, and be done with it.  I will have NZXT CAM regardless of additional RGB software, so that should be able to control the CPU cooler.  

 

Thoughts? Would a different hardware layout work better for the RGB to work together? I'm open to ideas.

 

Bonus question:  Anybody know if the Trident Z RGB will retain its RGB settings when the computer is in BIOS or booting? It would be nice if it did, but its not like it would influence my purchase.

With the Asus motherboard, you should be able to use Asus Sync for both the motherboard's backlights and the RAM. It's actually somewhat plug-and-play.

 

Do you have any RGB fans, or are those the only RGB components in the system?

It's entirely possible that I misinterpreted/misread your topic and/or question. This happens more often than I care to admit. Apologies in advance.
