Getting Aura to work with Asus x99 ROG Strix

[Logick]

Hello, I recently built a new PC using the ASUS ROG Strix X99 Mobo. Everything has been working fine except aura. I ran it a few times and it was working fine, but at on point it froze on me, so i killed the process. Now whenever I run it nothing happens. The AsRogAuraService.exe is still running, but that's it.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advanced.

UPDATE:

In the latest version "Lighting_Control_x99_HM_10334", it seems they have fixed the CPU usage issue.

I haven't had much time to test whether or not it still eventually freezes but so far so good.

The cpu usage is solved for me on w/Asus Deluxe II x99. However, It still does not output green to the LED strip if plugged into the board. I'm not sure at this point if its the board or the software.


edit: there is one request if the anyone who works on this software reads the board. Please let us pick the colors for the cpu temperature customization. It would be great to be able to pick my own "safe-load-danger" color pattern.

Which LED strip are you using?
Are you using an Asus Aura adapter with it?
The blue and green channels are swapped around on the Aura header.

Can you please provide a link to the ASUS Aura adapter?

My RGB LED strip only displays blue color and nothing else when connected to the aura header.

I have the Strix x99 Gaming motherboard and the lighting is stuck on one color, red, in the breathing mode. When I try to run the Aura software, no window appears on the screen and as previously noted, Aura is using 7 - 10% CPU.

1) I don't see version "Lighting_Control_x99_HM_10334" on the Asus website but there is one labeled "Lighting_Control_x99_10334" which still doesn't work on the Strix board.

2) I have tried every version of the lighting control software on the Asus website and none of them work.

3) The LED over the chipset is not lit but I'm not sure if the problem is with the LED or is fixable via the Aura software.

Has anyone with the Strix motherboard found a solution? This is pretty darn frustrating.

Try a complete uninstall using Revo Uninstaller Pro, restart, then install "Lighting_Control_x99_10334".

Shut the PC down, turn the switch on the PSU off for a few minutes then start the system again.

If that doesn't work disable everything at startup except Asus Aura and restart again.
If it works that means you have a conflict at startup slowly enable each program at startup until you find which one is conflicting with Aura.

"Lighting_Control_x99_HM_10334" is the version for Deluxe II, I'm not sure if it will work on the ROG Strix.

The Asus Aura adapter was included with the Cablemod RGB strip that I bought, I can't find a link to purchase them separately.

I just uninstalled the old lightning control and did instal Lighting_Control_x99_HM_10334 using the strix x99 mobo.
Its all fixed its not using like 10% cpu anymore, thanks alot!

Thanks so much! The Revo Uninstaller was the magic. I followed your instructions just using the regular uninstaller but there was no joy. I downloaded Revo and let it do it's thing and VOILA! Aura now comes up and I can control the lighting.

I am using the Phantek LED strip w/ the Asus Aura Adapter. I have also tried a Cablemod strip and adapter as well.

edit: whats weird is if i slide the cable slow on/off the motherboard I can see it output many different colors that it will not display when the software is enabled. As soon as the cable is securely seated it only displays colors with blue tints. So bluish purple pink, blue, light blue. I cannot get it to display orange, green, red, yellow. I know the adapter cable is on correctly as both cables will not power the LED lights if turned around. It is certainly a software issue otherwise I don't know why the cable would display the correct colors when sliding on / off or when connected to other color outputs like my Phantek case.

That is weird, I'm not sure how to help you in that situation but I did find this from usledsupply.com:

"Q: Is there anything I need to watch for when installing the strips?
A: Yes. On the RGB flex strips, you need to be careful that the (+) "Black wire" doesn't touch/short to one of the colored wires as it could fry the mofset in the controller for that color. If that occurs, that color would always stay on. "

I don't know if this is relevant to your case but it seems your blue LEDs are permanently on.

bluish purple pink = blue + red
light blue = blue + green

The only reason I can think of that it's not displaying red or green is because the blue LED is always on causing it to emit light blue instead of green or purple/pink instead of red.

But then you say the strip works fine when controlled by your case... Very weird
