Working on a MSI B450M Bazooka (sort of) #52

Hello!

I tried msi-rgb with a MSI B450M Bazooka and it worked! I can set colors, blinks and effects as shown in the examples. I'm using Fedora 29 KDE.

But I can only modify a LED strip that flows from half the board to the bottom, along the left-bottom edge of it. The mobo has four leds on the back, always-on in white and not affected by msi-rgb. MSI shows in its site that the official utility changes those LEDs. Perhaps another port to fiddle with them?

This is the output of --verbose command:

sudo ./msi-rgb --verbose ffffffff 88888888 22222222
Bank 12 (d0...100):

Thank you four your utility!

This tool is indeed only capable of controlling a single RGB region. Which region on a particular motherboard it will end up being is unclear.

Sadly nothing much I can do here, because I do not have an access to hardware with multiple RGB regions.

Can confirm it also works on the Bazooka V2, with the same limitation as well.

I cannot change the Wraith Prism outer ring color either, only the fan color.

I've tried this on my own B450M Bazooka as well and it does work on that bottom left corner region but it also appropriately controls my Hyper 212 RGB cooler.

Indeed. Controlling both mobo and Coolermaster MasterLiquid ML240L RGB.
