Hello, AwenMilano.

Thank you for sharing the details and the video.
May I ask if you have defulted the BIOS setting and the issue still exists? Have you adjusted the RGB via Armoury Crate?
Could you help to confirm the question below as well?
- the current BIOS version and configuration you are using
- the serial numbers of your motherboard and GPU via pm
- the brand and model name of the CPU, DRAM, GPU, and PSU currently installed
- the OS version and OS build
- the Armoury Crate version

Thank you.
Due to the ongoing regional holidays, my responses may be slightly delayed.

Hi, Awen Milano.
Thank you for sharing the details.

May I ask when you first noticed the RGB issue?
Did it happen just after you purchased it, or did it happen after some changes? (For example, updating Armory Crate)
Please also provide screenshots of the Armory Crate Update Center.

In addition, regarding the USB problem, have you cross-test with other USBs?
May I ask which motherboard port you attached the USB to when the issue occurred?

Thank you.

Hello, AwenMilano.

According to your description, did the RGB problem occur after you replaced the Lian Li Strimer?
Have you checked whether the cable is completely connected or has been reconnected / cross-tested with other cables?

In addition, regarding the USB problem, it is recommended that you reinstall USB controllers and install the latest chipset drivers for the MAXIMUS Z690 HERO to see if the issue can be fixed.

Thank you.

i also try unplug all my usb device, beside mouse and k/b
and i realize the port keep throwing an error port 02 hub 09 not there
and i try plug one by one usb device
and the result is port 002 hub 009 was appear when i plug my monitor asus xg279q usb
if i unplug my monitor usb port 002 hub 009 was none at device manager
now the conclusion is idk that monitor usb cable was trouble or maybe i can update monitor fw?

update: i just try update monitor driver. hope this can eliminate usb error issue
