Howsit All,
Having a few issues for general day to day, basically just want to set static colours and be done, but fuck you apparently because software is horseshit across the board xD
PC Specs that need to sync:
Asus Crosshair VII Hero
Adata XPG D50 RAM
Corsair H150i pro
Asus TUF GPU
Lighting:
Armoury Crate
Corsair iCUE
Adata XPG SYNC beta software
Ok so Adata software is less so, I used it for my ram and was good to just set it, but it instantly dies after the first time. Won't open a second time, but you set once and don't have to again.
Armoury Crate is a rotten pile of mosquito shit, removing this program is a fucken nightmare as it leaves so much shit behind and you have to dig for it. it is somewhat nice but Asus software doesn't register it's own Asus Motherboard, ffs. It only reads my RAM.
iCUE seems good, but I cannot get it to work, it reads my AIO and my Motherboard (sometimes) but won't see my RAM at all. There is a plugin to link Armoury Crate and iCUE, which does work but leads into the next issue, monitoring software.
Monitoring Software:
Argus Monitor
HWinfo64
MSI Afterburner
Armoury Crate
iCUE
I take it you can imagine the fuck up of monitoring with the above. It throws hwinfo64's monitoring out fucked. I had Argus because it's the only software that allows you to control case fans on a GPU and generally great software. Only issue is it doesn't have an overlay that I can hotkey otherwise I'd have stuck to just. HWinfo64 is fantastic, but easily gets stuffed around with so much other kak and turning them settings off to not monitor corsair/asus sensors didn't help.
Fuck Armoury Crate, seriously, not only are both Armoury & iCUE adding more monitoring unnecessarily, I cannot turn the monitoring off, I need the two to link the all the hardware but not going to run a billion monitoring programs that just eat resources.
Point: Is there a way to get iCUE or another piece of 1 software to control lighting across the PC, because iCUE's latest update supposedly brings the Crate plugin into the program without you having to install it post iCUE install, but that isn't true in my experience as it won't sync shit, and I know because while removing the 10 billion instances of Armoury crate the plugin was last to go and kept the profile sync'd up until that was uninstalled. So if I can merge these into 1 software that doesn't monitor temps etc, or I can at least switch monitoring off that would be great. As then HWinfo64 can run when necessary & argus & MSI can be the main monitoring apps.
Then CTR 2.1
Fok weet, I open it and it produces an error you cannot rea the extent of in the textbox that gives you the updates. The text above that that usually names your hardware is not doing so, just says mobo & cpu. I also cannot run the software at all, it sometimes does the first Cinebench run but that's it. I have set all the relevant bios settings to try get something from it and nothing. Reinstalled and same, At this point I think it's a windows issue as I've redownloaded it as well and same result. Anyoone have an experience where ti flat out refuses to train, it opens and that's it. I can't even turn off auto start with windows xD
TLDR;
Lighting software is fucked
Monitoring software is fucked
Tuning software is fucked.
Thanks for coming to my Tedtalk.
