Hey guys, so I recently built a new PC with a x470 Taichi (non-Ultimate) and I noticed something that slightly bugs me. I've went with a white build so most of my parts are either white or have white leds and naturally I've downloaded the ASRock RGB Sync software so I can set all my motherboard leds to white. Thing is, while everything else is fine, the IO Cover led (top-left) leds are yellow-greenish when I set them to white. Any other color works fine and is clear, but as soon as I set it to white it goes back to the same yellow/green tint. So I wanted to know if this is a general issue with this motherboard or if it's only mine and if so, if there's any way to fix it.

I have only registered to reply! YES, I have the same issue and it's also bothering me. I also have a X470 Taichi (non ultimate). When I set the IO Cover to white, for me it turns.. orange/yellow. Is this an issue with the motherboard? Did you manage to solve your issue? Edit: ASRock support helped me figured out that my blue leds for the IO Cover were dead. You might have a similar issue. |

Yes I also have this problem, I would like the LED on the IO cover to also be white, but it has a constant orange/red tint to it, rather ugly.
Any fix for this? |

I'm afraid you will have to contact for warranty/RMA. |

I have the exact same issue. Seems to be widespread.
All other LEDs on the mobo work fine but the IO shield can't show white. Mine is yellow and green when set to white. The Polychrome software also adjusts colors wrong. When set to red it makes the LEDs green and vice versa. |

i looked into it more by setting it white on the IO cover i'm correct as suspected one of the bulbs isnt working
set to all white and i get a orange/brownish tint so i tried to find out which one isnt working in my case blue led give out no colour on the IO sheild blue led is weak on the pch heatsink blue led is weak on the audio nothing is wrong with the software it just means the bulb is burnt which should be expected when putting leds on hot parts |

And they know that RMA is a pain in the butt, since you would have to live without a motherboard for who knows how many weeks. For just a LED.
So most won't bother and ASRock knows it. The issue has to be widespread when it has already happened to several people on these forums alone, and the percentage of ASRock owners who register here must be less than 1%. So it's a quality control issue they must know of, but have chosen to ignore. After all, if the LEDs work for a while before burning out, the problem won't show up in any product reviews. |

I just registered to reply to the post as well. I have the same Mobo and just the other day the I/O LED turned a orange brown burnt color on me as well. That's a super pain. I really don't know if it will RMA like you guys said before hand in can be a pain in the butt. So it's not just me huh.
