Asus Aura 1.06.95 - CPU Usage

[rgbsadguy]

I realized when I was using any of the lighting change modes like "wave" etc, the LightingService process was using a lot of CPU - at least 10% CPU usage at all times. Switching it back to static colors with no effects was the only way I could get it back down. Obviously that CPU usage is way too high for controlling some RGB LEDS.

Specs:
i7-7700K
32GB RAM (g.skill trident rgb)
Asus Maximus IX Code Motherboard

yepp same here on windows 10 1607 . if you open it and then use say breathing or static color its fixes the issue . try switching to breathing or static apply . re boot then try color wave again . also roll back to previeous if this doesnt work for u ,

What version Aura, and BIOS are you currently using?

Try updating both of them.

I just updated aura and the BIOS before testing this a few days ago so it should be all the latest versions.

Aura 1.06.95
Latest bios, I don't recall the version but it was the latest available as of about Oct 5 2018


CPU Usage stabilizes around 10-12% from LightingService. However on the first 3 lighting effects this isn't happening -- static, breathing, and color cycle result in almost no CPU usage (0.1% or less)

I've noticed the same problem. It's ruining my games' performance. This is a serious issue that they need to fix ASAP.

Hi,

Use the last 1.07.17 by following the process of updating scrupulously, I tested it and I approved it : https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?101543-SOFTWARE-AURA-Sync

Before this version 1.07.17, I was resigned to version 1.06.17 because versions 1.06.29 and 1.06.95 were catastrophic for me

I just tried that 1.07.17 and CPU usage is just as bad as 1.06.95, about 6-7% when using smart -> temperature lighting. CPU usage is first about 5% and then starting to go up.

Whats your setting for smart->temperature? Static? In new version the color is changing every second if not changed to static...
