steve1977 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I changed my fans and now have RGB ones. A bit too colorful for me, so I am looking to change them to a more neutral color or even turn the LEDs off. Wondering whether there is some docker or plugin that allows me to control the RGB fans? I have a ASUS x299-a mobo. Quote Link to comment
BoKKeR Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 (edited) most of these RGB contollers on these motherboards/rams/gpus are proprietary and they differ between models from the same manufacturer often. So there is little to no initiative for anyone to write plugins/containers for these things. Most have hardly any control from linux to begin with. Your best bet would be to boot into windows to give the system direct acces and turn them off. Only way to change any of these easily is to pass them into a windows vm, like a gpu and there you can use the utilities the manufacturer provides Edited April 19, 2020 by BoKKeR Quote Link to comment

I've tried to install the Asus software in my Windows VM, but it didn't work. Is this possible to do with a VM (image) or only if the VM is baremetal? What would I need to passthrough to the VM? The fans? If so, how can this be done? Quote Link to comment
