Please move it this isnt a good spot

As usual i have rush bought Me a new pc with very little research.

Ive bought a

1 x Corsair iCUE H170i Elite LCD aio cooler
And ram is also a 32gb argb Corsair dominator kit.

Ok I thought I can run icue software to get these working most importantly the LCD pump screen and the fans on it I'll replace with 3 of the 9 140mm fractal Prisma I have from my old build and run the ARGB from the headers on the new

GIGABYTE X670 AORUS ELITE AX​

And use RGB fusion 2.0 ( it's crap but it works) to run all other case fans daiseyed up over the 2 headers.

So both softwares will be simultaneously running...... In theory.

Now I've been reading this is simply a nope. They both fight for bios level control of the ram control and cause crashes.

So I've also been reading about 2 3rd party software solutions that say they can control everything. Open RGB and signalRGB

Oh I almost forgot my Logitech and sound blaster also have RGB insanity but that's unimportant..

Now most of these icue/RGB fusion2 issues
Are dated 2021 2022... Is this still an issue now?

Does Corsair still use proprietary fan connectors? I'm completely regretting ordering Corsair aio now. It's just that 420mm AIOs with LCD pump blocks are either very dear or low on features.

I hope that makes sense.... The parts are arriving tomorrow and I'm already considering instantly RMA on the memory and AIO and try find something else.

Dunno what I was thinking tbh..... :p
Please help.

I'm not a novice but my knowledge is 5 gens out of date.


I've read Asus is much more compatible with icue and maybe that's the easiest route? Flip the board to the similar Asus version..... Dump RGB fusion2....

Ok.
I was deffo ok to use it but what I'm worried about is the LCD screen on the fan. Surely that's only gonna work with icue...
I really struggle to find real world examples I'll start looking for tutorials on signal RGB etc

I take delivery on Friday, work weekend so looks like this won't be a rush to build....
Ive got my 14 days return window to try it out but if rather return in opened package...

Thanks and more tips welcome.

I don't even mind if I can run icue and fusion together if they are compatible now .

Thanks. Giving me confidence at least :p

Ok :p

Well there's hope.
I'll try it on my current pc see what it finds what I can fiddle with.
 
Having a good play with signal RGB and its "fine"
I can turn of my logitech KB and mouse, i prefer that to be done byGhub... Ok np...
Right now i've just got the 9 argb fans (6 LEDS per) all on 1 motherboard header apparently :P oops i forgot that.
I've found sufficient free effects to get Rainbow puke nyan cat vibes going at seizure speeds if needed...
It doesn't support the AE5 soundblaster... No loss.

I found a guide somewhere that told me how to run Icue and SignalRGB so I should be happy....
Its a shame its a complete fudge fest it would be very cool to have everything working together out of the box with no need for 3rd party work.

Ill update when i get everything going. I quiet enjoy the problem solving of it all tbh, but next time ill deffo plan a bit better.
