	I am actually not sure if I de-installed it or if the software it self did it, re-installing asus aura software went smooth, but so far I don't see a change yet... investigating...

	One reason why the music rgb might not be working is because I de-installed asus game sdk, maybe it's necessary for this functionality to work.

	"Silent night" music comes to mind. The music lighting effect is not working yet, not sure how to get it working with HDMI, AI says to set output device to HDMI, I am supposed to go to device, which allows me to select the gpu only, but then nothing shows up... hmmm...

	Hmmm... today I decided to play around with temperature based led effects... and just discovered something interesting: iCUE software also has "plugins", by installing these plugins it gives access to other control software like asus armoury crate. This allow asus armoury crate to control the DRAM leds as well for increased lighting options, control and synchronizations... very interesting. (I also discovered asrock has some new drivers for asrock steel legend b650e motherboard... for example new amd chipset drivers, have not tried them yet, but might try them later on today, there is also something new: AI NPU driver but this is for much newer processors with build in AI stuff, granted ryzen 7950x also has some ai capabilities but it's different I think, so this driver probably not for this cpu ! ;) :) I checked the website for this driver and it does not list this processor as supported.) So far the armoury crate from asus has an interesting "rainbow effect" that makes the DRAM look different than anything I have seen before I think... :)

	One last note: Everything at medium/middle speed looks best.

	I did on last test: Restarting windows did not have any effect on the RGB lights and then just stayed on and continue the cycle. Shutting down power and restarting computer from cold boot, did have an effect and the rainbow was immediately apperently, but then the colors start cycling again... so seems normal, but maybe a shutdown and restart after playing with all these software effects might help/affect it to keep it in a certain way but probably not, this is probably normal that it starts cycling in a certain way. I wonder what is the source of the effect, motherboard/bios ? or build in lighting per dram stick ? probably bios/hardware I think cause others should they not stay in sync, unless there is a slight timing difference per stick, maybe on purpose, but it does it in a certain way, dim1,dim2,dim3,dim4 could also be an electrical delay, not sure but for now I think it's "master" controlled by bios/mb, but electrical time difference might be true too hehe, the mystery remains ! ;) :)

	Just to document this properly, is kinda hard, because there are many options. The best way to get the most spectacular effect is to disable all iCue corsair services in Windows. This will allow the motherboard/bios/prospect 700r/some kind of hardware to take over the DRAM settings, without these services running the RGB can no longer be controled by corsair software or any other software, this gives the most spectacular rainbow running downwards, all kinds of colors and must interesting to look at because it's very diverse yet smooth and shading. Other things tried: polychrome... it can control the ram leds it has some functionality. Other thing tried: armory crate from asus, cannot control the lights. The DRAM also has something special "device memory mode" on or something then it will remember it's setting and run that without services running, or some of them, but when all are stopped, the hardware seems to take over. In case you can't get it working and the lights stay off, make sure in bios of motherboard it says to have leds/rgb on etc. Currently the dram lights seem somewhat out of phase, a restart/reboot might help to get them back in line or just leave as be... but it seems a bit off right now.. Dim 3 seems to be out of phase with rest... a bit strange... I will try one restart and see what happens :) This was kinda hard to figure out, took me two days sort of... gave up on first day, but I can remember disabling iCue service in the past and the effect came back. Kinda weird that one has to do that. I also did some polychrome rgb update because it's driver was vunerable and had to be updated, not sure if this had any effect, probably not, but not sure.

	OK, the non-software lighting is definetly different and much better/more interesting to look it, glad it's back ! ;) =D
