   Hey there, 
i just installed my B550 Steel Legend. I hooked up a panel of 16 WS2812b. All Seems to be working fine but i cannot figure out hot i can set the RGB leds to visualize my CPU temperature.

Combining as a visualizer for music works out of the box from ASRockRGBLed but there is no setting for cpu or mainboard temp.

	You would need a 3rd party app to do that, as far as I know ASRockRGBLED doesn't support that feature. IMO there should have been a standardized format for RGB from the start rather than every manufacturer having it's own in house firmware and control software.

	Wow, this is really poor. I have had several Asus mainboards that support that feature directly from the Asus software. Actually indicating CPU Temp by RGB is the only feature I can think of, for that RGB can have any practical use. So Asrock, please give me that feature! What kind of third party software are you talking about? I checked hwinfo and Core Temp, none of those seem to be able to access the RGB controller.
