Asus aura sync help.

[Bion1985]

I recently upgraded to an 8700k and the Asus ROG Maximums X Wi-Fi ac motherboard and having some issues with Aura Sync I believe. I have 3 pieces of hardware that I believe should be manageable in Aura. Motherboard, G. Skill Trident Z RGB ram and 1 Cable mod Widebeam rgb strip. However in many video toturials I have watched of Aura I notice that there are two options for control on the upper left synchronized and independent mine is only showing the synchronized option so it's only allowing me to set everything to the same setting. Besides that when I go into Sync and try to say click the ram to change its settings it asks me if I want to save settings I click yes and then try to set it to a separate static color for example and it's gets set and kinda stuck the the default rainbow effect for Trident Z. I have to mess around with it and then can get everything set to a static color. Anyone with some extensive knowledge of Aura Sync that can help out?

Yea I'm figuring it's a software issue or user error as I am not very familiar with how to use it.

Did a build last time and Aura Sync cannot be customized independently between the Asus Strix GPU and Strix Z270 motherboard, no matter what, it was always synchronized.

Did another build recently with a Strix 1050Ti and a Strix B250 board. The video card has Aura Sync but the board does not. Went online to download the Aura Sync software for the video card and found out the following

 

• It creates a direct program shortcut on the desktop with a long ass name
• When deleting that shortcut, the program is not in the start menu and has to be reinstalled.
• Renaming that shortcut to make it shorter breaks the programs also forcing a reinstall
• The video card will only work with that specific Aura Sync Software
• Aura Sync software version, is motherboard specific and cannot be used on other Asus Aura enabled products. I download the one for Strix Z270F, to try on that Strix 1050Ti, only to not recognized the video card and cause windows to grey out and spit out a Aura Sync has stopped working error
• The Asus Aura Sync that's specifically made for the Strix 1050Ti's LED service, keeps on asking for permission to allow access to make changes to hardware device. Even allowing it, it will ask 3 to 4 more times. And it will ask again, every time the system restarts.
• Uninstalling the program will be meet with a roadblock caused by the Asus Aura LED service. The service must be disabled in task manager before it can continue uninstalling.
• Going to Asus Aura site shows no downloads.

Correct

just a side note, do you see the drop box of locations? It's currently set to by Areas and then below that you have I/O selected. You need to change that to the area you want to change the color on. Or if you want everything the same color you select the option for Single Color. In the drop down box by area you will see each individual ram slot as well as each individual selectable led. Usually four areas per ram stick on the TridentZ. I just want to make sure you were aware of that. 

 

 

edit:: didn't see that was already answered.
