Asus Aura Teams up With Corsair ICUE

[KILLER_K]

Asus has now teamed up with Corsair to let their ICUE software control the boards. Simply install the latest Aura Sync but don't run it. Head over to Corsair's forum and grab the Asus plugin for it. Install it and you can now control all the board lighting.

Ram is not working unless you have Corsair's ram. Hopefully, they will add more support for more peripherals as well from other companies and more boards later on.

I really appreciate Asus listening to all our complaints and asking them to let Corsair fix their software. It can only get better from this point on out. As I always noted we need one software to control all RGB lighting. Or let it all control everything and we choose what we want to use. Baby steps are fine at this point though. We now have our foot int he door.

I posted this in another thread. I felt it deserved a front-page post so everyone could see it.

You have to have Aura Sync Or Armoury Crate to control the ram unless it is Corsair's brand. Or you can install the Ram manufacturer's software and hope it works. As I noted it doesn't control my G.Skill ram and neither does G.Skill's software.

Some have reported not having to use the Aura sync at all and just using the plugin. Or just using Armoury Carte and the plugin. That is up to the user in what He/She needs on their pc to control all the stuff.

I had the same issue and just gave up and reran my OS and it all works now. It sucks that is how I had to resolve it. But it is done and over with now. Might can try a registry cleaner like CCleaner or Revouninstaller as well. Good luck.

still useless. i run a rog ryujin and then theres the fact i hate anything by corsair

When it clearly states it is for AURA Motherboards only. I hope later on more stuff will be added.

UPDATE: I actually removed the old Aura Sync version 1.07.79. Installed Armoury Crate as I like the newer cleaner look better. Plus the fact it installed Aura sync version 3.03.70. I had to stop ICUE a few times and restart it to get my board to show back up. Then I had a device not available issue with Crate. A reboot fixed it and everything is good now.

Side Note: Sarcasm.
How on earth do you have 10 rep for 10 posts? And every single one is only complaints about each one? This system is clearly messed up and needs to be removed.

I believe everyone starts with reputation points.

Only thing I have an issue with switching from Aura sync to Armoury Crate is. On the Aura sync, I could control the ram separately, say if I wanted Starry-night just on the ram and allow the board to stay a Static color with ICUE. That worked fine that way. But it seems Armoury Crate doesn't want to allow you to do that. I'm not sure why it will not allow you to not sync in Armourty Crate as you can in Aura Sync.



SIDE NOTE: It was sarcasm. I was picking with him.
