My tool uses another open source command line tool that someone developed with Gigabyte's SDK. It works well and I don't have to think about it, once I have my profiles setup and the tool installed. We haven't tested with any other motherboard. This tool was tested on two machines with the Z370 Gaming 7. When you boot up windows or are not in a game the profile is set to the default.xml. The tool loads the profile for the game and it stays that way, until the game is quit. When I load Farcry5, my motherboard switches to a Red, White, & Blue theme that has static colors, with pulsing red RAM slots. If the name of the XML file matches a running process it parses in the XML and uses a command line tool to set the colors and effects for the different zones. On load it scans a specified profile directory for XML files. My tool does not require RGB Fusion to be installed, though RGB Fusion is the only GUI that allows for modification/creation of XML profiles. My tool does not communicate directly with iCUE, though iCUE and my tool both share the same trigger, which is a running process. As Gigabyte's Z370 Gaming 7 is loaded with RGB and I have devices attached to it's header, it was really important to have the color and some effects match, else it would look out of place or I would have to disable some lighting.īoth iCUE and my tool "sync" via a running process. I wanted my PC to display certain colors and effects when I play Overwatch and Farcry5. One of my favorite features of iCUE is the ability to have computer cosplay with RGB, for the game I am playing. Though maybe they might find this useful for them. I know Corsair will be working on this type of functionality, though I don't know how long it will take them and how extensive the functionality will be. This is after playing with something a lot more mature like CUE. I had higher expectations when I got my Z370 Gaming 7 as it had lots of RGB as well as headers, though the software fell a bit short of my expectations. I was always pleased with CUE and super excited when iCUE was released. I took down the latest release for this reason. Edit: Due to some issues with Gigabyte, I am holding off on development of this, until some issues are resolved.
