Gainward Geforce RTX 4070 RGB issues

[CaptSuperMoose]

Hello all!
I'm a complete noob to computers and gaming rigs to be honest, still getting to grips with it all but I have this particular graphics card, It's doing me well and working the way i want it to, it however does not want to sync to Armoury crate or Aura Sync no matter what i try, I've uninstalled Armoury crate a few times to see if it would link up but it appears to not want to play ball, I just wanna link up the colour scheme i've got going on with the rest of my RGB, anyway, any help or advice would be most appreciated =]

Did you follow the guide on their website?

I assume this is the thing:

:: Gainward ARGB SYNC - Installation Guide ::

Appreciate the response!
I did try this but that programme then took over fan control from Armoury Crate and wouldn't give it back unless i uninstalled it ha ha, since then i've been rather put off the idea of having that installed

There's another one on their website called autosync and that doesn't have the additional step of installing the software.

Oh! That sounds much better, i'll give that a try, thanks

Had a look but i can't seem to find the separate download

My impression is that you only have to hook the cables up and then it will be supported by third party software?

Ditch the lot and use the excellent openrgb instead. No more bloatware and messing around with different apps.

Thanks for the replies!
I've no idea what im doing when it comes to the cable stuff, I dont wanna mess around with that just incase i cause more issues ha ha
I tried OpenRGB but it kept crashing and not recognising anything for some reason or another
I think im resound to it just being a blue colour ha ha

Are you saying that you haven't connected the ARGB cable at all? I think that'll be your problem, because it sounds like the board needs this cable connected to achieve sync? Your board should have the required header, it would tell you in the manual.

I've no idea, i didn't build the PC, someone from Overclockers did, I presume its all connected

It'll be obvious if it is connected, because graphics cards don't have random cables coming out of them The power connector looks very different, because it is a big, thick cable, whereas the ARGB cable is very small and very thin.

Seems like everything is attached to where it should be on inspection
