Hello, ive been having problems of syncing up armory crate aura sync with corsair icue software, ive done all of the tutorials ive found on the internet but nothing worked. 

Ive even used regedit to make armory crate dependent on corsair icue software, but it doesnt want to sync up, like all of my corsair stuff is doing its thing and the motherboard + gpu RGB's are on their own.

Obviously right now i set in both of these softwares manualy with rgb mode i want (wave, static, color spectrum etc.), but i cant get them to work from icu - when i change rgb mode on icue, then it also changes on gpu and mobo.

 

CPU:Intel Core i5 13600KF 
CPU Cooler: Corsair iCUE H100i Elite Capellix
RAM: 32GB DDR5 Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB (2x16GB)
MotherBoard: ASUS ROG STRIX Z790-E GAMING WIFI II
GPU: INNO3D RTX 4080 16GB
Storage: 2TB Kingston NV2 NVMe ; Samsung 990 PRO 2TB ; Samsung 870 EVO 1TB
OS: Windows 11 PRO 64-bit
PSU: 1000W Corsair RM1000e

 

Ive read online that this is a known issue, but i havent found a solution that works for me. At this point im about to give up and deal with the fact that my gpu/mobo and rest of the system lightings are in different universes. .

 

Maybe i should buy hue bridge to sync up all of my rgb devices in my setup.

Both Armory Crate and ICue are pretty bad rootkits ...

Did you try a third party software like OpenRGB or SignalRGB ?

Well i wanted to try by not having ANOTHER program do that, but thats seems like the next step which i will take, as it is pretty annoying to have entire system in one color and the gpu with mobo somewhere  else on the colour pallet xD

I never could. Closest I could get was open software like OpenRGB and one other but they still had bugs. I just gave up and made colours indipendet of one another but in tandem so they look good.

Sure they can't really work well together, now if you remove Armoury Crap and ICue and just use SignalRGB (seems better than OpenRGB) it could maybe work ?

This has been a problem since the introduction of RGB on PCs.
Each brand having their own implementation of RGB...

Corsair - iCUE, ASUS - Aura, Gigabyte - RGB Fusion, MSI - Mystic, etc.

You have than multiple RGB software conflicting / fighting with each other.

 

The ONLY real solution I've found use components that are either certified to work with say.... Corsair iCUE.

 

Or have all your components use the "standard" 4-pin RGB / 3-pin ARGB header on the motherboard. None of this proprietary stuff.

Thanks to everyone for replies.

 

I tried open rgb, it crashed my corsair AIO controlls, so thats a no from me.

At this point, i just set everything to rainbow wave myself, and leave it like this. 

I guess we need 5 more years for manufacturers to agree on RGB standarts.

They won't anytime, as incompatibilty means more sales to them, people have to change if they have mismatching parts and want nice RGB...

Was iCUE running at the time? If so, yeah, that can happen. You basically tried having two things controlling the AIO
