ChromaControl VS openrgb-rs

You actually want a piece of software called Chroma Control to accomplish what you want. This will sync your ASUS board and any other ASUS RGB devices you have in Armoury Crate to Razer Synapse.

I know I already want widgets so I can make one for my app ChromaControl: https://github.com/ChromaControl/ChromaControl

Might be something to do with the RAM: https://github.com/ChromaControl/ChromaControl/issues/19

Not to get too off-topic, but my current plan is a Strix and ChromaControl and also the controller box you mentioned. I do have Trident RAM but I can run the GSkill utility for that.

I'm looking at getting the H100i ELITE CAPELLIX cooler. I already use the Razer RGB controller so would I be able to just plug the fan RGB into that (i.e. do they use the standard 3-pin argb connector)? Is there also any official support for Razer Synapse for the pump header or would I have to use something third party like this? If it makes a difference I'm using an ASRock B450 pro4.

I don’t think you need any special software for the cooler, CAM just handles the RGB and I think the display on the block. If you can live without that (OpenRGB can potentially handle the RGB, not sure about the display) then you should be able to get rid of it (assuming NZXT let you uninstall it without needing a reinstall, unlike Asus and Armory Crate…).

openrgb.org and get rid of Mystic lights

openrgb.org works on all 3 of my MSI boards, Razor KB and mouse too. Small and simple.

You can try SignalRGB or OpenRGB

If you've connected the ARGB Header to your Motherboard, you'll have to use some software like OpenRGB, but if not - try pressing the "Reset" button (located on the left-hand side of the Front Panel) which hopefully will switch between RGB modes.

First install OperRGB https://openrgb.org/

Controlling RGB devices on Linux has always been kinda finicky. Too much proprietary nonsense and Windows-only software. With so many vendors jumping on this open standard would it potentially open up way more devices to be controlled by one app on Linux? Would a project like OpenRGB be able to get this working? I'm not a developer, so apologies if this ultimately means nothing.

You could try OpenRGB and see if it detects and allows you to change your lights.

Do you have this ARGB cable connected to the motherboard? If yes, you can use OpenRGB to control it.
