![]() Once you've got this Lighting Control zip, we need to find two exe files inside, and the rest can be entirely discarded. This is what we want to download - not the larger links above. By visiting the ASUS RGB download page you will see at the bottom a small link to "The standalone version of Aura Sync". We simply need to install two exe's found in ASUS's 'Lighting Control' zip. In addition to iCUE obviously, you actually only need to install 2 very small packages of the whole ASUS RGB suite to make your GPU RGB work. They are the 2 at the bottom of the post. ![]() If you're already affected by bloatware, I found two different ASUS-provided uninstallers online which should mostly remove all the ASUS crud off your sysytem. So, I spent some time installing, uninstalling, and forcefully deleting various elements of the software to work out exactly what was needed to install to control ASUS GPU RGB via iCUE, without the whole ASUS bloatware fest. Unfortunately, we still needed ASUS software present to enable this link. Thankfully, recently Corsair enabled support for ASUS GPUs via their iCUE software - something I'm much more comfortable using. The heavier software such as Armoury Crate is even worse. It's an awful experience getting it to work, and the worst part is the bloatware it comes with! Just trying to install "lighting control" gives you multiple different running background ASUS services, and a running component for pretty much every single piece of hardware they offer! I shouldn't need DRAM RGB control if I don't need it. It's all over the place in different forms, including "lighting control", "Aura", "Aura Sync", "Aura Creator" and finally "Armoury Crate". ![]() You may have noticed that the provided software for controlling the RGB of ASUS hardware is - frankly - terrible. Please feel free to try the below, but I can no longer guarantee success. Update: As of 28th June 2022, Windows 10 update KB5014666, my GPU has stopped being visible to iCUE again on my machine.
