Am I losing my mind here? #25

When I used the liquidctl plugin for the first time and ever since, it turns off the rgb on my motherboard. Is this a thing and is there a way I can disable the rgb controlling of the plugin? I made no other changes of any kind, once I launched fan control with liquidctl plugin enabled now the lights by the back i/o turn off as soon as fan control launches.

I love being able to control fans using liquid temp so ill actually just deal with this over not using it but id love to turn off this if its even possible.

Ok so according to someone on liquidctl page, the rgb setting to turn off the rgb on asus motherboards is an option but it has to be implemented by the plugin author? This is all way over my head but id really like to disable the rgb feature in fan control.liquidctl if thats possible can anyone help me do that?

I might have an improvement regarding this, but for the life of me I can't get this or any other plugin to load in Fancontrol. Mind sharing the steps? I don't see a Plugins folder and creating one does not seem to work either.

Hey im using this fork of the plugin apparently it fixes the high cpu usage - https://github.com/SuspiciousActivity/liquidctl

The plugin folder in Remo0's Fan Control has always been there for me in both my pc's. The path is "FanControl.Releases-master\FanControl\Plugins" for me, I havnt changed anything.

@Trae132 how to compile or download the plugin? I need a custom version of Fan Control?

This is the one I used, I didnt customize anything although I read somewhere that someone needed to add a "Plugins" folder for liquidctl. Then I just downloaded the plugin linked in the post above and extract it into Plugins folder in Fan control root. https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases/blob/master/FanControl.zip?raw=true
