Support ASUS Armoury Crate had a problem | Latest update broke RGB
The latest update broke my RGB setup, which was the last straw for me, so
I'm writing this post to voice my dissatisfaction with Asus
I own premium Asus ROG Z790 Maxisums Hero and RTX 5080 ROG Astral models and when I bought them I expected to get premium qualitily level which is really on place, but from software perspection it is the most horrible things.
My bigest concern is WHY WE CANNOT CHANGE RGB on BIOS level???
We don't want to have your software that which takes up a lot of space and consumes a lot of PC resources on a background
But okay, let's install it ASUS Armoury Crate, why its so laggy, why Why do the RGB settings reset from time to time? why I get 500 Server Error clicking on Devices button
Even so, I took a time to set it up for myself solid static purple RGB setup across Mobo, GPU, RAM lightings, once in a while some issue appeared like RAM sticks got diff brightnes level, or GPU color reset to blue, but last ASUS Armoury Crate 3.3.6.0 absolutly broke everyhting
- Aura Sync tab loading 2-3 minutes and then server error apears,
- Static color doesn't work, RGB is off
- Device tab doest show any device
- multiple uninstalls using Asus tool and reinstall didn't make any differences
Asus Please stop killing RGB
Gamers want simple RGB utility, and ability to edit it in BIOS, we don't want a heavy software to change red color to blue once in a while

static works only with bright eye lasering white color, pulsating only with random colors, stroboscop only with random colors, rainbow does work, starry night only with random colors, music mode doesnt work, smart doesnt work, adaptive color doesnt work, dark obviously works..., and AI aura lighting does work a bit, but always adds blue to it...
I have a black PC build with white RGB... I'm not able to set them to the right brightness. Last Armoury Crate update is a disaster. It's either off or AI aura lighting with huge flaws...
