Control RGB fans


Recommended Posts

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

Thanks for your message, this is helpful. 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?
