Asus AURA RGB Header 2 missing STRIX 270E

[Dahaka92]

Hi Guys,

the STRIX Z270F features 2 RGB Headers an I connected 2 independent RGB Strips to the ports but I can only set the color for RGB_header1.
I've tried to reinstall and reboot but the second header wont show up.

Missing RGB Header 2 in Aura V1.04.29 need help

Same problem here. Z270F, In Win 509. AURA detects only one header as a RGB led strip. Both are working, just as one and colors are mismatched. When mobo and in win logo are green then strip is blue. Like... RGB paths would be mismatched.

I noticed this issue right off.
I'm hoping to see this fixed because I would like to use the top RGB header to use in a RGB CPU water block and the bottom for an LED strip and have everything 'comet' in different order.

But currently it's:
MB > ram > case

I have the same problem with the STRIX Z270 E. I have 2 60cm RGB LED strips and I am plugging them into separate headers

I asked support, and was pointed to this article:
http://edgeup.asus.com/2016/10/11/aura-rgb-lighting/

It talks about Aura controlling and organizing by "zone"

Quoting article:
While zones are typically reserved for specific regions, some boards consolidate them. The Rampage V, for example, combines the LEDs in its I/O and audio shrouds into one zone. Likewise, the B150 Pro Gaming/Aura uses a single zone to manage its PCH and edge-mounted LEDs.

This article predates my board but I'm assuming the 2 RGB headers on my board have been consolidated into one zone? I should be able to find this information somewhere... To get a different color or effect for one of my strips I had to attach to a non-Aura controller. The disappointment for me is that I have only the motherboard and one LED strip to attach for Aura. I was looking to make use of the second header to create a little more separation. Maybe this will be less of a concern for people that have memory or graphics cards that light up with Aura, which I do not.

I really want to seperate the two headers as well.
The bottom for my case lighting and the top for my fans. Why would they have two headers if they didn't intend on us being able to use them independently?

I finally bought Phanteks PH-C350I_BK CPU block and love it! I'd love it even more if it wouldn't light up with my led strips though. I wonder if there is a way to add a half second delay to an led strip?

Same issue here. Using Asus Z270F. i can only see 1 RGB strip or RGB Strip 1 i should say. i have the deep cool led strip which has the Aura sync certified logo.

So what gives?

[binary100100]

I have a question...
Has this z270e ever showed two separate LED headers in Aura? I wouldn't know because I've only had mine for a couple of months now. I have an RGB CPU block that I would like to have separate from the rest of my LEDs. At least with a .5 second delay.

Well I updated to the newest version of the Aura Sync and now I only have my GPU and RAM showing in the components list. Tried to uninstall and go back to the previous version that listed all the headers and Mobo,GPU and G-Skill ram correctly but NOOO cant uninstall. Catastrophic Failure message...great!!!!

That's happened to me before. I had to use a third party uninstaller.
For me, Wise Program Installer worked just fine.
