One software to rule them all - RGB controls

So, I always hated Aura but the new bloatware called Armory Crate is just something I don't wanna use at all. Is there a software you guys and gals have experience with that can be used to control all RGB stuff inside the PC (asus, corsair, nzxt etc) at once?

I use https://www.signalrgb.com . The only real kicker is that you can't have Armor crate or iCue or any of them running at the same time. If you use iCue to change DPI or something like that, it'll break SignalRGB while you have it open.

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.

The two big ones are OpenRGB and SignalRGB. They both use the same backend with different GUIs, the difference is that OpenRGB is fully open source while SignalRGB is not. Both are free to use though. Haven't used either one personally but have heard good things about them.

Corsairs is meh, but it works. 

you can see if OpenRGB works too. it's suppose to support everything (kinda)
https://openrgb.org/

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

Ah awesome! I am looking into SignalRGB now, I haven't even installed the iCUE yet, cause I just hate all the various software available. 

Do I have to uninstall Aura and CAM or just not open them if I use SignalRGB?

openRGB is jank AF, but it does a great job as a 'run once at startup and forget' application.

it'll override my logitech keyboard despite G-HUB is running, as long as G-HUB doesnt start to make changes too.

(G-HUB is set to static color, and openRGB loads on startup after G-HUB. it's hacky but it works.)

I have to keep AURA and (whatever Gigabyte's RGB software is called) installed and iCue seems to be able to control the AURA stuff, but it never recognizes the Gigabyte RGB GPU I have. 

I try to just stick with Corsair and ASUS if i can, the GPU is an exception because i got it from a newegg shuffle.

I left Aura installed. Just disable it's startup process and it won't auto start when you first turn your computer on.

I just installed SignalRGB and MY MIND IS BLOWN!

This is sooo good! Thanks for the tips guys, I had no clue that there is something out there having these features and is free O_o

 

I see there is a pro option but I don't really need it, the free presets I've tried already are super good and maybe down the line I might get the paid version but so far - bye bye all the bloat and welcome SignalRGB! 🙂
