First Time RGB - Help!

[Maxwell__]

Hi

I'm planning my 2nd PC build. I'm planning to build using a Fractal North with a tinted glass panel. With that I thought I try some RGB stuff as I've seen a build in the Fractal North with a Gold Lighting (see below). 

So my build consists of a Gigabyte B850 Gaming Wifi6 and 3x Arctic P12, 120 mm, ARGB.

 

Will I be able to put the RGB on a static gold color and how do I do that? I guess via a Software?

 

Thanks for the help.

Cheers

If your motherboard has Gigabyte RGB Fusion 2.0 then you can set the ARGB headers to a fixed static colour via their Windows app. 
I have a Aorus B550 and I have set the colour to a nice ocean green that matches my wallpaper. That colour is now saved into the bios via their app and everytime the PC boots the colour shows up. The gigabyte app doesn't need to run in background for static colours, but for colours like rainbow or others with moving effects you need to set RGB Fusion to start on Windows load up.

Thanks for the reply.

 

I checked and found two things:

1) https://www.gigabyte.com/fr/Motherboard/B850-GAMING-WIFI6-rev-1x

Indicating it has

1x RGB LED header

3x ARGB LED headers

So it should work on the B850 Gaming.. 

 

2) But also this thread, complaining they can't get rbg to work on their B850 Gaming Motherboard...

https://www.reddit.com/r/gigabyte/comments/1lpj077/cant_get_rgb_working_on_gigabyte_b850_gaming/

 

Now I contemplate whether to invest in RGB fans and stuff at all..

They most likely bricked their RGB firmware while updating bios or using some other software like SignalRGB.

Meaning? I should update the motherboard in the beginning and everything should be fine you mean?

argb is a pita and costly and never works how you think it works. if you dont need it dont get it. 

if you want to try it just buy a strip and pay with software first and see if you like it or dose what you want.

If you don't need to then don't update Bios. Imo the factory installed bios should be the most stable one.
