Great, hopefully that will remove the need to install bundles upon bundles of bloatware you to disable RBG from components.

Now we just other motherboard and GPU providers to hop on board, I love this feature and tired of Asus Aurora, Corsair iCUE and MSI Lighting, etc taking up valuable resources. Some of them are terrible offenders. All in all, I have about 5-10% of my CPU resources wasted on these buggy, bloated programs.
My only concern is the footprint, long-term support, and resources that Windows will dedicate to their own solution.

I was almost ... excited? about this until I searched the Asrock website and couldn't find the update anywhere. Anyone else have any more luck?

Not that I really need the update, there are only three RGB LED's stuck in the RGB header in the whole build, but everyone else was getting RGB'd and I felt left out. Plus it does give a nice green glow through the fan vent when the room is dark.

Now for a simple way to control the razer huntsman keyboard. The software bloat there is beyond belief. 999 Mb (0.97 GB) just to turn a few lights on and off. Insane. That is insane right? it's not just me??

Thank God, because I've been having a hell of a time trying to get ASRock's RGB software to play nice with Windows 11. Every time I fire it up, I gotta click through multiple error messages just to get the dang software to open! I'd be happy to be done with it.

I see it available for download on newer motherboards but not for the older b550/x570 models. I guess we gotta wait our turn, Chemistu.

Armoury crate is basically malware imo. One of their forum mods was so sick of people trying to uninstall it and failing because if there was any remnant it would just come back so he made a custom uninstaller that is now for download from Asus lol.

It's the worst software of the bunch at what it does, the most ridiculous to uninstall and works the least well at every single intended purpose.

My latest build is about a month old and already armoury crate is broken and can't self update or even be manually updated from inside armoury crate. I need to install my lian li fan controller so I can just use lconnect.
