Trident Z RGB 16GB model
Title: Post: I don't have experience with Corsair RGB RAM, so i am just gonna answer this post as if you meant G.Skill TridentZ (as you mention that program as well). For a couple years I have been using TridentZ now.. And I have noticed basically the same as you did. At startup it's rainbow and when I hit the desktop (and the program starts up) it will change to my profile (usually set to off now ) That is with my build though.. I setup a build for someone else with TridentZ (Neo) and the same board as you and did not install the G.Skill program. Instead I relied fully on Gigabyte Fusion 2.0, which could also control the RAM RGB. I am pretty sure that didn't have the same symptoms as you mentioned above (I am only 'pretty sure' about this, because it's not my build.. So don't have the ability to check it now). Could be worth a shot, to just ditch the G.Skill program and try out Gigabyte Fusion.
Hey minibois, sorry for the mix-up. I meant the Trident Z RGB (not the Neo). I attempted to use Gigabyte Fusion but it didn’t change much. The RGB software I tried only offered a single custom color option, which isn’t ideal unless you’re aiming for rainbow effects. Thanks for your reply. I’ve been researching this nonstop over the past few days and wasn’t sure if it’s related to RAM or a broader problem. I also sent an email to g skill about it, but they haven’t responded yet. I’m considering getting the NEO if that RGB RAM works without issues, or maybe it’s my motherboard. Not sure where these color profiles are saved.
Their RGB setup was in 'beta' for quite some time, so it's likely they're still working on improvements. It's a bit surprising that RAM lacks built-in storage to save the LED configurations I might review with the person who helped build the PC, should the same issue arise with their system. I'll also see if Gigabyte Fusion 2.0 plus TridentZ NEO offers additional options for effects. I expect another update later today.
The update confirms the same issue persists with the latest TridentZ RGB memory. It works identically regardless of whether you're using G.Skill's program or Gigabyte Fusion 2.0. For better results, G.Skills software is recommended because it can launch automatically and offers more features. However, in short, this problem still affects the newer versions of TridentZ RGB memory.
Thank you for the update—it's frustrating since I was hoping for an upgrade to the NEO. I reached out to g skill last Friday about this issue, and they confirmed there isn't an onboard controller; the only option is via software.
