I might just be missing it but my new MSI b650 doesn't seem to have this ability. I can set a custom curve, constant speed, or disable it (nothing else). I'm 100% sure that my older (Ivy Bridge and Kabby Lake)Asus boards don't have the option. Asus went let me set ia curve bellow the fans...

My MSI B650 board has 3A 12v RGB headers (as well as 5v ARGB gen 2 headers). Can anyone confirm that the 12v RGB header is compatible with regular 12v RGB 5050 strip lights (the ones sold in 3-50 ft rolls marketed for home lighting ) ie are the 12v RGB strip lights sold for computers...
