Only affecting MB Function LEDs on MSI Z370 Gaming Pro Carbon #150

Closed RageFlow closed 3 years ago

RageFlow commented 4 years ago

The MB Function LEDs on the MSI Z370 Gaming Pro Carbon motherboard is a Red colored LED. So as of now, that board is not "supported". ;)

(Feel free to remove this after author has seen it :b )

Are your LED strips connected to the 5050 12V connectors or the WS2812B/CORSAIR connectors?

RageFlow commented 4 years ago

WS2812B connector and the RGB ligting on the Motherboard itself is not affected by MSIRGB (Except the MB Funtion LEDs) (MB Function LEDs are: DIMM and PCIe x16 slot LEDs) EDIT: Just tested the normal RGB header (5050 12V), but still doesn't do anything

I would have assumed that it would affect the 5050 LED strips, but it's highly unlikely to control the WS2812B connectors, and especially not the CORSAIR one, as these are controlled by separate chips. I'll investigate further about the 5050 connector when I can.

NOTE TO MYSELF: make it clear on the README that MSIRGB doesn't control all the connectors on this motherboard.

I just went through some log files for Dragon Center (Mystic light), and noticed it was talking about "MB_Model_hex: 7B45" I don't know if it helps, but if you need me to check some files just hit me up :)

I'm aware, but thanks :) Will do.

Potentially fixed by #193. If you're willing to try an experimental release, feel free to tell me if it fixes the issue.

Hey. So, I took a closer look and this motherboard is actually not supposed to be supported. It was my mistake to list it as supported. Sorry.
