Question RGB problems

Hello everyone,

I bought a new PC with a Gigabyte z790 eagle ax motherboard. After installing Windows, I installed the Gigabyte Control Center app. I could set my RGB there, and everything about RGB worked perfectly, however, when I turned on the game, the fans on my graphics card (gigabyte RTX 2080s) did not turn on. My fps would drop to 5. After a bit of research on the internet, I found out that GCC and the Nvidia App were in conflict and that's why it wasn't running my fans. I decided to uninstall GCC.

After that I had no more problems with the fans, they worked fine, but all my RGB didn't light up anymore, then i installed RGB Fusion which I found on the Gigabyte site specifically for my motherboard. But when I start RGB Fusion I didn't have RGB settings for my motherboard, but only for graphics and RAM and I was able to adjust that, RAM and graphics light up as they should. But all my fans in the case did not light up, including the water cooling ones.

I tried to reinstall RGB fusion several times, and several different versions, and every time I encountered the same problem. Then I decided to uninstall RGB fusion, and after that nothing lit up anymore. At that moment I said [vulgarity redacted]. I will install GCC and delete the Nvidia app. but when I installed GCC (the same one I installed the first time), I no longer had RGB for the motherboard, but only RAM and graphic RGB, so I uninstalled it again. Then I found some kind of SignalRGB app on the internet. I installed that and there I was able to turn on all the RGB on my PC and everything lit up and worked as it should.

However, that application conflicted with the Logitech G HUB that I used for my headphones and mouse. I set my headphones to not light up in G HUB because that way my battery lasts longer on them, but SignalRGB constantly synchronized the RGB from my headphones with the other RGB in my case even when I turned off the RGB for the headphones in the settings. So I uninstalled that too. Now my PC doesn't light up except for the RAM and graphics.

And now I'm wondering what I should do to make it all work properly? I was close to throwing my PC out the window xD

I'm sure you didn't buy your PC parts with the sole purpose of it being a Christmas decoration.

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

In this instance you should mention all RGB devices in your build. Please note that RGB and ARGB are two different standards. How are the devices tethered in your system?

You should probably look around our forums and other platforms, that SignalRGB and other apps that unify your lighting are hit and/or miss and SignalRGB has been known to download firmware it thinks is right for your platform which often times isn't the necessity.

If I were you, I'd work with each device's app to manage your lighting.
