openrgb-rs VS g-helper

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.

- OpenRGB: Control all of your RGB devices from a single app (no online accounts required)

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

Uninstall Armoury Create and install G-Helper. G-Helper

You can learn how to uninstall AC and install GHelper here.

This build should have your model listed too https://github.com/seerge/g-helper/files/13624196/GHelper.zip

G-Helper: https://github.com/seerge/g-helper/releases

Grab G-Helper from GitHub. It's free.

There is an incredible open-source and lightweight replacement for both of these apps, called G-Helper. Like the apps above, it makes calls to a specific system driver. It takes less than a quarter of your screen, and covers what ASUS needs 30 full screens to expose. It also has a button to stop the last ~10 unneeded background services from ASUS, and a quick update checker for drivers. (Green means you're up-to-date, gray means you're not, or that it wasn't detected on your system.)

G-Helper is AMAZING.. CHANGE TO IT NOW..

Have you tried gHelper and a clean windows reinstall, but still can't achieve the mythical sub-10 watts idle power draw?
