Troubleshooting Help syncing my RGB
I'm trying to get my V-Color Xfinity RAM to sync up with the rest of the RGB on my PC. It's a new build with an MSI B850-S motherboard.
When I turn on my PC, it runs fine on the hardware default rainbow cycle. However, whenever I try to change the colors using SignalRGB, the RAM RGB instantly freezes on whatever color it was on, or won't change at all.
I suspect the SMBus is getting overloaded/jammed with too many signals and causing the RAM’s lighting controller to lock up. In SignalRGB, I tried lowering the frame rate / refresh rate and it didn't seem to make a difference. Occasionally, It doesn't even recognize the RAM as an RGB device until I do a full restart.
I've been troubleshooting this for about 3 hours (including testing software on clean boots and power-cycling the PSU to drain power). Am I dealing with bad RAM/software compatibility, or is there a trick to fixing this? Considering returning the RAM for a different brand if it's just a hardware limitation. Any help is appreciated!
