    Question Re-purpose my motherboard's addressable ARGB LED headers ?

    I agree, but do not understand why you think I want to modify the motherboard. Iam looking for software changes in the drivers to repurpose the motherboard headers.

    Question Re-purpose my motherboard's addressable ARGB LED headers ?

    Silly me. I was thinking that the power for the standby ARGB lighting power came from the bios battery.

    Question Re-purpose my motherboard's addressable ARGB LED headers ?

    Just for the record, I find that I was at least partially incorrect since I find that a some (many?) motherboards provide RGB/ARGB illumination even on standby power with the chipset switched off. So then there must indeed be a separate controller just for the leds. I guess that ends my...

    News White House urges developers to avoid C and C++, use 'memory-safe' programming languages

    You mean to say that if you post your ADA patches to a C# project you are not taken 100% seriously? Somehow I am not surprised.

    News White House urges developers to avoid C and C++, use 'memory-safe' programming languages

    Programmers that believe a user wants to know whether the error was 'expected' or not are the likely targets of this White House directive...

    Question Re-purpose my motherboard's addressable ARGB LED headers ?

    Wouldn't you agree that, in fact, 20 years ago it would have been far more difficult to reprogram 'the whole large circuit' given that it consisted of a much more primitive and inflexible north/south bridge design?

    Question Re-purpose my motherboard's addressable ARGB LED headers ?

    I know how rgb and argb control works, that is not the question and not of interest. If you say that the rgb/argb controllers are 'embedded' and spread 'all over the motherboard' then I should be able to see evidence of that on my own mb, which I do not. Also, given that, as far as I can see...

    News White House urges developers to avoid C and C++, use 'memory-safe' programming languages

    This isssue is a non-starter. Jensen Huang spoke and we now know we won't be doing any coding anyways, memory-safe or otherwise. That said, I am really looking forward to more coding recommendations from people with a lot of experience in the area such as no doubt the White House. Avoid...

    Question Re-purpose my motherboard's addressable ARGB LED headers ?

    Interesting info, but hard to believe for a simplistic function that any 50 cent 20-year old 8-bit microcontroller could perform. Where did you get this info? I certainly don't see a whole bunch of circuits on my mb for its 2xRGB and 2xARGB headers.

    Question Re-purpose my motherboard's addressable ARGB LED headers ?

    Yes I would like to reprogram "the controller" but I first need to find out if there is such a thing and where it is located. If it is a controller, is it in the PCH? Is it a specialized chip accessed through it? If not a controller, perhaps just PCH lines out to amplifiers? Since this LED...

    Question Re-purpose my motherboard's addressable ARGB LED headers ?

    I do not case one bit for LED lighting but do have a bunch of headers for the purpose, so does anybody know if it is possible to use these for other purposes - bypassing the bios. I'm especially interested to find out if the headers are just i2c busses connected to some controller/cpu.

    News Jensen Huang advises against learning to code - leave it up to AI

    If anybody is worried about using his programming skills in the future I'd say don't worry too much -you would simply join the rest of the working population that has already been outsourced to AI earlier Legal, banking, security, transportation, all seem prime sectors and no doubt I am...

    Question ASUS PRIME X670-P-CSM is much cheaper than ASUS PRIME X670-P ?

    You are right. I decided to purchase the board (note: it was not 'on sale' or a 'special offer') and immediately the shop I bought it from stopped offering it. A day after the next cheapest shop also didn´t offer the (10% higher) price any longer. Today the CSM version is as expensive as the...

    Question ASUS PRIME X670-P-CSM is much cheaper than ASUS PRIME X670-P ?

    I notice that today the ASUS PRIME X670-P-CSM (CORPORATE STABLE) at €186 incl VAT is much cheaper than the non-CSM version which is listed at no less than €264 again incl 21% VAT . Seems like a steal to me. What am I overlooking?
