Gigabyte Control Centre

Mojo24 · 10 Jun 2025 at 22:28

I’ve had my pc since Xmas with no software issues. But it does have Gigabytes Control Centre installed on it. Is it safe just to uninstall it without effecting anything that has been updated by GCC. If I do uninstall it when I do future chipsets update will it just replace the old ones.
Thanks for any advice.

Shouldn't have any problems uninstalling it - though you may lose some RGB lighting controls if you are using that. You are better off without it as the software can cause some slight stuttering in some games and does a fair bit of telemetry stuff in the background.

@Mojo24: Yeah, totally get the hesitation. I’ve uninstalled GCC on a couple of builds without major fallout – as long as your BIOS is up-to-date and nothing custom is tied to it (like fan curves or RGB stuff), you're usually fine. Chipset drivers won’t vanish, and future updates can still go clean via vendor tools. Maybe just backup profiles first, just in case.

There's a "Gigabyte Utilities Downloader Configuration" option that you can disable in your BIOS. I believe this is in the Settings part of BIOS, under the IO Ports section of all places.

Cheers guys, I’ve already downloaded signalRGB tested and it works better than GCC. My fans are set in bios so that shouldn’t be an issue, My bios is not quite up to date as GCC was showing no updates so went on manufacturer website there been 3 more released. So I guess my chipsets are out of date as well. The “Gigabyte Utilities Downloader Configuration" think that just stops pop up for reminding you updates to download but never has. But will set a back up date in windows just in case.
Thanks again.

Motherboard manufacturers chipset drivers
Are usually older anyway
Than going to intel,amd etc website and getting them
Directly from there

And yeah signal rgb any day over most
If not all motherboard manufacturers software for me

Well that was much easier than I expected. All my rgb is synchronised now.

I used SignalRGB, after removing GCC, finally got my 12v RGB strip lighting to be the same colour as the aRGB fans, memory and Corsair AIO.
I had to change the settings to something like GBR, for the colours to be synced.

RGB, when combined from different vendors can be a pain at times.

Came into this thread by accident. Glad I did. I have an RGB AIO, rad fans and GFX card.

Never really bought RGB stuff on purpose, nor was I overly bothered about my RGB stuff cycling through all colours looking like a unicorn parade. Never even thought about trying to disable it or fix the colour. Fell into this thread and now have a nice static colour on all my RGB stuff.

Thanks for the recommendation.

Yeah signal rgb is a godsend
Especially if your stuff is from multiple manufacturers
With their own proprietary eco system
Am honestly surprised there's even a free version of signal rgb
It's that good
And even though free it doesn't severely limit
What you are able to do
7 different manufacturers in my build
And the free version still synchronises everything

I could never get it to work properly when i used to use it.

I never installed it, got prompted to do so when I first booted the system in to Windows and then it kept coming up each time.

Disabled it in the bios so it no longer prompts me to install their software.

Got the AMD Chipset drivers from the AMD site and any others I needed from the Gigabyte site.
