ASRock x370 Taichi LED Strip Flicker

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hey  guys,
Just build a new system a few days ago and for some reason the RGB LED strips are flickering very faintly. I'm not sure if that is supposed to be happening but I'm going to guess that it probably shouldn't. I have 2 BitFenix Magnetic RGB LED Strips plugged into the RGB header. They are both under the max spec. that the board allows, strips are 3.6v each. Looking at the fans, it looks like those LEDs are fine. Any ideas what it could be? I have a 750w supply, even tried swapping out power cables to see if that would be an issue. I'll be getting another power supply to test in about two weeks but if you guys have suggestions before that, please let me know.

	This behavior is being looked at For now, and I realize this is a kludge atm, disabling C-States/Global c-states improves this "issue"

	Good to know that it's a known issue and not something wrong with other bits. Thanks you! I think it might have helped a little.
