CoreCtrl VS OpenRGB

> I only want some decent fan control instead of relying on random scripts off github. AMD has to release some sort of GUI panel for sure.

> The AMD experience on Linux is vastly better than the Nvidia one. I just wish we had an equivalent of AMD Software on Linux, so I could mess around with the settings more. For example, I like to limit the GPU to 50-75% of it's total power for ambient heat/cooling reasons, or UPS/PSU/electricity bill reasons when specific games make it hard to cap framerates. With AMD Software on Windows, it's no big deal. On... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

If you set it to POWER_SAVING instead of 3D_FULL_SCREEN, it uses the highest boost clock a lot less. Or if you use something like corectrl's application profiles (maybe the Windows vendor driver control panel has them?), you can selectively disable boost clock states in specific games.

I'm bias toward Asus motherboards. I have an "Asus TUF GAMING B550-PLUS WIFI II" and a "Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Hero (WI-FI) ATX". Both boards have a fan control feature in the BIOS/EFI. On the Windows side both boards come with Ai Suite 3 software. On the Linux side you might want to take a look at Corectrl ==> https://gitlab.com/corectrl/corectrl. Source: 10 months ago

I think CoreCtrl might offer some of what you're looking for. Source: 10 months ago

I don’t think you need any special software for the cooler, CAM just handles the RGB and I think the display on the block. If you can live without that (OpenRGB can potentially handle the RGB, not sure about the display) then you should be able to get rid of it (assuming NZXT let you uninstall it without needing a reinstall, unlike Asus and Armory Crate…).

Openrgb.org works on all 3 of my MSI boards, Razor KB and mouse too. Small and simple. Source: 5 months ago

If you've connected the ARGB Header to your Motherboard, you'll have to use some software like OpenRGB, but if not - try pressing the "Reset" button (located on the left-hand side of the Front Panel) which hopefully will switch between RGB modes. Source: 5 months ago

Controlling RGB devices on Linux has always been kinda finicky. Too much proprietary nonsense and Windows-only software. With so many vendors jumping on this open standard would it potentially open up way more devices to be controlled by one app on Linux? Would a project like OpenRGB be able to get this working? I'm not a developer, so apologies if this ultimately means nothing. Source: 7 months ago

You could try OpenRGB and see if it detects and allows you to change your lights. Source: 7 months ago
