Thank you very much for alerting me to the existence of OpenRGB!
You are welcome. I finally got OpenRGB v0.7 to detect and control the LEDs on my Dark Hero mobo, TUF 3080 OC, and G.Skill Trident-Z RGB RAM. v0.6 could control the mobo and RAM but not the GPU. v0.7 could control the mobo and the GPU but not the RAM. I finally figured out how to get it to control all 3 and now I am happy.
Note that Signal RGB is also an option. It can detect and control mobo, RAM, and GPU LEDs, same as OpenRGB. The user interface and the way Signal RGB maps LEDs is very different than OpenRGB. Basically you have a canvas that you place all of your RGB items on. You can move them around and scale them. Then you select a preset that plays back on the canvas. What the LEDs on a device do depends on where that device is on the canvas. It works, and lit up my computer like a pinball machine, but I found it difficult to control. Because Signal RGB uses this LED canvas approach, it is really good at doing ambient effects based on video and integrating into games.
OpenRGB has more basic presets that are similar to what Aura offers. Since its open source, there are a lot of plug-ins and pipeline builds on github. There is an army of people reverse engineering RGB products and adding support in the pipeline builds. I tend to stick to the stable released version but am keeping an eye out for a plugin that will detect a single Thermaltake Riing DUO fan that is in my Thermaltake iRGB power supply. It is stuck on rainbow vomit and I refuse to install Thermaltake's horrible software to change it.
