New build on win11, after reboot all my case leds display what i can only refer to as the ugliest rainbow woke colors no pc modder would ever choose for their build. It almost looks as if Asus sold their souls to the woke agenda.
What's even more weird is the following, under windows armory crate sets up the lighting i want but when you reboot everything turns into lgbtq rainbow, my memory, my psu, my built in case lights. I run a beautiful all white build so the last thing I want to see during my boot process is this ugly disco bull******, so i thought, i try to disable this during boot by turning on aura stealth but no no no, Asus is now into dirty programming and wants to push its filthy agenda by pushing these settings from windows into your bios and upon next reboot, your stealth mode reverts to rainbow vomit again.
For 30 years i have been buying asus products, recently switched to the latest core ultra, building a pc with a nice lighting setup but every time I boot up, it gives me a very bad feeling, like someone pushing their agenda on my hardware, that I own and want to customize as my own.
Reddit is filled with complaints about this, asus does nothing to solve it and now I am forced to sell this crap gay rainbow motherboard cuz the colorscheme makes me sick to my stomach. I have basically tried every single possible fix on reddit, on these forums, tomshardware, 4 weeks of testing only to come to the conclusion that it really is hardcoded by Asus.
So thank you very much Asus , you royally screwed every pc modder out there, and for what, a donation from God knows whom to push this woke agenda into your motherboards.
If there are members here that are through with this crap as I am, please PM me with suggestions of a decent white highend lga 1851 motherboard that does not force rainbows up your butt.
This post from Asus says it all,
So here ends my 30 year relationship with Asus.
Ps: i had a z890 gaming-e motherboard before that i have already sold cuz of these same problems, thats almost 900€ down the drain because of hardcoded crap.

Asus service said this sh1t gets pushed from armory crate, so i did the test,
- Power off pc, unplug psu, discharge psu
- remove cmos battery
- short clr pins for 10-20sec
Upon starting my pc again, rainbow vomit galore. So another lie asus got caught on, seeing as I am not poor, I immediately ordered a highend Asrock motherboard of which I find not even a single rainbow vomit complaint, i looked and looked on multiple search engines, nothing, not a single user complains about forced rainbow vomit. So I will now ritually burn this piece of crap in my backyard and will let everyone know how Asus cost me 900€ with their false advertising. Every community I post at from now on will see me steering people away from buying Asus motherboards if casebuilding is their game. These last 5 weeks have been nothing but drama trying to fix this hardcoded woke agenda, how low they have fallen, from burned cpu's and memory by overoptimizing wattage, forcing festive effects on people without their knowledge, increasing boot times by 30 seconds by armory bloatcrap to false advertising that users have full control over their case lighting, ...., i can go on.
If Asus deletes this post, you can add, silencing freedom of speech and sharing cold hard facts to the list as well.
To anyone reading this rant, STAY AWAY from these new Asus motherboards, you have been warned.
