Issue with RAM failing to power down in sleep mode. Need assistance resolving.
Hi, I just completed my PC upgrade but when setting it up I noticed the RAM lights up when I put the computer to sleep. I tried everything. First, I installed Gigabyte RGB Fusion, but it didn’t recognize my RAM and the software was really bad. Then I looked up ErP online and got some advice, but my old Gigabyte BIOS only had an option for power off (S5) not S4 + S5. Finally, I installed XPG RGB Sync Beta which can control the RAM, but there’s no way to turn it off when sleeping. Please help... Software: Windows 10 Pro 64bit > XPG RGB Sync Beta > Wraith Prism (for AMD Ryzen 7 2700X) Hardware: Motherboard - GIGABYTE B450 DS3H CPU - AMD Ryzen 7 2700X RAM - XPG SPECTRIX D41 3000MHz 2x8GB GPU - ASUS NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 950 2G. Thanks for your help.
The RGB setup operates separately from the computer’s running state and functions as long as the RAM receives power. Because S3 sleep disables most components except RAM, the RGB will continue functioning. You can check for an option in the RAM’s control software, disable the RGB before sleeping, or accept the current setting.
Right now I grasp how PCs function, but that helps a lot. Still, it’s confusing how they manage RGB via DDR4 or PCIe slots—like USB ports can act like multiple devices?
People will speak their minds next time. @DocSwag @Mira Yurizaki Let me know!
It's still in beta testing, consider reinstalling and checking for the newest release.
