Thermalright cpu fan aRGB effect not working after signalRGB app exit

General

I was trying out your app with the Thermalright c-212 cpu fan on an Aorus B550 Elite AX v2 MB to improve the solid red color of the fan. Exiting the app & the fan color went off. I could not restart the app. So I deleted everything. Restarted the PC. The fan is functioning but the aRGB effect is dead. No color. Your software does not return the system to its original state for the aRGB effect. How do I get this back to functioning in the original aRGB format ?

Once SignalRGB is closed or uninstalled, it reverts back to whatever previously controlled it. Sounds like you need to identify what was previously providing the RGB values for the fan and mobo. It will vary system to system, sometimes it can be controlled in BIOS too.

If you’re unsure, I recommend speaking to the system manufacturer for more info.

Thanks for the reply SignalBadger. While this app is easy to configure, it takes up too many resources {6%} for my tastes. I also tried OpenRGB & it does the opposite, by not shutting down the fan LEDs. Fan powers off. It seems it is an anomaly within the Aorus B550 MB smBus. Gigabyte has a bigger problem with this, as their app seems to brick some of their MBs; from what I have read on some of the tech sites. I’ll keep experimenting before I make a choice.

6% might be pretty low, depending on your CPU. You’ll also want to monitor resource usage when the app is minimized, as it will use less resources when running in the background.

Exact performance will vary a bit depending on your particular computer specs, the amount of RGBs in the system, and whether or not the app is minimized (among other factors). If there’s concerns it’s not behaving correctly, file a bug report and the team will be happy to investigate!

I only have 2-120 mm CPU fans, a mouse, an rtx 3080 video card & a small set of LEDs on the top of the mobo run, by an AMD 5800 CPU w/ 32 Gig. I don’t think it would add up to more than 30 LEDs total. 6% is a lot for that light load. The original AMD prism fan has to be hooked up to the USB header to function correctly & cycle colors.

Sorry for the interruption. When the mfgr. tells you that their Prism fan doesn’t function correctly with their fan header, you have to realize where the problem lies. Like you say, it is the other factors in the software; that I believe are contributing to the high resource usage.
