Hey,


I have the Gigabyte Aorus Gaming 7 motherboard and the G.Skill TridentZ RGB RAM. I am using the Gigabyte "RGB Fusion" Software to disable some LEDs on my motherboard and the Asus Aura software to adjust the color of my G.Skill RAM.

While the Gigabyte software can change the color of the G.Skill RAM it can't adjust the zones individually like the Aura and G.Skills own software can. G.Skills own software is really bad too because you can't type in color codes and stuff. It's just really bad software. That's why I'm using the Asus Aura software. It is not capable of adjusting each RAM stick individually like the G.Skill software can but it can at least change the individual lighting zones on the RAM.

Here's my problem: Asus software autostarts on bootup and changes the RAM color to what I want it to be, then after that the slow RGB Fusion software starts and changes motherboard color + overrides the RAM color. Now I have to open the asus software, change to another effect, save, then switch back to the effect I want and save again. EACH TIME I start the computer.

This is so ridiculously annoying. I just want to tell the Gigabyte software to ignore the G.Skill RAM. I do not want it to interface with it in any way.

<rant>
Offtopic: This whole having to use several different softwares is starting to annoy me tbh. I'm already using Corsair LL fans, a corsair keyboard and a corsair mouse so I am probably just going to bite the bullet and switch to Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB RAM in the future. All this bad RGB LED Software is just fkn annoying. Why do companies release a product with crappy software like that that probably was thrown together in a day or two.
I am now using Corsair iCue, Asus Aura Sync, EVGA Precision X (that's fine. I use it for OCing and changing GPU LED color), NZXT CAM and Gigabyte RGB Fusion. SO ANNOYING.

 

EDIT: Oh WTF Asus software is using 4% CPU right now. WTF who programmed this?

Hey,

 

I know this thread is quite old but I would like to let you know the problems that I have had with my Gigabyte Aorus Z370 Gaming 7, G.Skill Trident Z RGB RAM and the RGB Fusion software.

So, I upgraded my PC at the start of the year and I upgraded to the Z370 platform. I bought an Intel i5-8600k, Gigabyte Aorus Z370 Gaming 7 and 16GB (2X 8GB sticks) of G.Skill Trident Z RGB for my upgrade. Then I had to install the Gigabyte RGB Fusion software to control the LEDs on the board and my case LEDs. Everything was running fine for a few months until the RGB Fusion software updated and started controlling my RAM's LEDs. So the story goes that my RAM started to play up. Copying and pasting files was not working properly because each time that I tried it, the files would get corrupted. I spent 3 months trying to figure out what was going on. I spent countless hours on forums trying to find answers and yielded no answers, so I decided to start swapping the sticks of RAM around in different slots and different orders and still, the problem was happening. I pulled one stick of RAM out (the one closest to the left) and the problem disappeared! Turns out after a bit of testing, the RGB Fusion software corrupted the SPD of one of my sticks when it took control of the G.Skill RAM LEDs. In the end, I had to RMA my RAM kit to G.Skill in Taiwan and use my gaming laptop for a month while they did the RMA process.

After I got the new kit back, I didn't ever update the RGB Fusion software again and my new kit has been fine ever since.

This probably isn't helpful to you, but it sounds like we have had a similar issue.

 

P.S sorry about my Minecraft profile pic, i'm using my google account that I created when I was 13 haha.
