Looking for an RGB controller software piece

Ask Fedora
1

Hello Community,

Before getting started. Yes, I tried openrgb. Didn’t discover my ram sticks.

Now for the question itself. I have a KINGSTON FURY Beast RGB DDR5 6000MHz 64GB Kit 2x32GB (KF560C36BBEAK2-64) ram stick duo. Installed into a MSI Tomahawk x870 mobo (latest bios).

And I do realize the next question being “why did you go rgb sticks in the first place?”, my answer would be “was going through AMD’s EXPO supported ram list, and what my local retailers (live outside of US and EU) had to offer”.

So what I am looking for is a piece of software for Fedora (41, KDE), that would allow me to turn off the damn rgb, which feels like it could be used as headlights for cars in a foggy weather. I am yet not considering to try my luck and to “disable the rgb” without software means.

There are some projects on github for your model:

The above is a script you would download and run using chmod +x filename.sh then ./filename.sh in the terminal.

If that doesn’t work there’s also some useful information on your specific model here. Reddit - Dive into anything
Seems like the user enigmatic_bread posted some workaround to just disable all the lights that other people reported to work.

Unfortunately because it’s not supported by your manufacturer or even openrgb you will have to make due with these kinds of workarounds, but the first github link I sent looks promising to me.

Any luck?

Apologies. Weeked started with my brain shutting down and not wanting to do anything.

Am trying right now.

I think its made more for Intel,

if ! [ "$(i2cdetect -l | grep I801)" ]; then
  echo "Intel I801 not detected!"
  exit 2
fi

I am running an AMD (9900x, MSI X870 Tomahawk), and all I got is

i2cdetect -l
i2c-0   i2c             Synopsys DesignWare I2C adapter         I2C adapter
i2c-1   i2c             AMDGPU DM i2c hw bus 0                  I2C adapter
i2c-2   i2c             AMDGPU DM i2c hw bus 1                  I2C adapter
i2c-3   i2c             AMDGPU DM i2c hw bus 2                  I2C adapter
i2c-4   i2c             AMDGPU DM i2c hw bus 3                  I2C adapter
i2c-5   i2c             AMDGPU DM aux hw bus 1                  I2C adapter
i2c-6   i2c             AMDGPU DM aux hw bus 2                  I2C adapter
i2c-7   i2c             AMDGPU DM aux hw bus 3                  I2C adapter
i2c-8   smbus           SMBus PIIX4 adapter port 0 at 0b00      SMBus adapter
i2c-9   smbus           SMBus PIIX4 adapter port 2 at 0b00      SMBus adapter
i2c-10  smbus           SMBus PIIX4 adapter port 1 at 0b20      SMBus adapter

Not sure which one is it.

Dang well to be honest I don’t know what to do here. All I can suggest is to check if there’s a BIOS setting for this, maybe onboard devices configuration.

I’ll try reddit. If not, I think I’ll just have to tape it. Tried finding a yt video, hoping that disassembling the ram kit wouldn’t be problematic, but no, it has a good chance of “whoops”.

Thank you for trying to help.
