Have you attempted to update it through the BIOS instead of using the utility?

I also attempted to update it through the BIOS, but it didn't work.

Save the bios and extract them, then move the file to the root of your SSD drive. Open the bios menu and try using EZ Flash Spoiler. Consider lowering the version to one that's two or three levels below the newest release. It may help to adjust it step by step until you find a version that functions. You might need to change it gradually to return to the original bios or one compatible with your RGB lighting.

I uploaded the recent two updates to AI Suite 3 without issues. I’ll test each one, one by one, until I find a version that works with all the RGB lighting peripherals on my PC, including the AIO.

It's not possible to switch between stock bios and the latest version due to the updated ROM file, which causes the error. You should downgrade one bios at a time. Regarding the second YouTube video, people who brick their systems often download incorrect bios.

It's unlikely you can lower the BIOS, so I had to rely on the Flashback feature in my C7H model.

I could only revert to version 4804; it won’t allow any further reductions. Also, the downgrade came from the BIOS, not through AI Suite 3. The NZXT Kraken RGB lighting remains non-functional.

It seems Asus has released an updated ROM to stop further downgrading beyond BIOS version 4804. For the RGB controller, a third-party RGB hub could potentially help, though spending more on new gear is not worth it.

I wasn't able to resolve the problem. You mentioned the same issue again—please let me know what steps you took to try fixing it.
