RGB control for RAM

Andrew Lobban · 24 Nov 2021 at 14:54

Hope someone can help.

I got Crucial Ballistix RGB 16GB Kit (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 Desktop Gaming Memory (Black) for my son's PC which has an ASRock A520m-hdv motherboard.

Crucial website said it was 100% compatible but I am unable to control the RGB lighting with the Ddr4 M.O.B. software from Crucial and it just cycles through different colours.

It's not the end of the world if it can't be controlled but I was wondering if this a limitation with the motherboard or an issue with the software/RAM?

Grateful for any advice.

Thanks for your reply. I had heard some people were using Asus armoury crate as a workaround but wasn't sure if it was the limited functionality of the motherboard or not that was the problem.

Install the Asrock RGB software or openrgb and see if you can change it then

Thanks I'll give that a go tomorrow. I've only got my son a basic Asrock A520m-hdv motherboard to keep the price down so it might be it doesn't have that functionality.

Hi guys, just to report that I was able to control the RGB effects with the Asus Armoury Crate software.

Thanks all.
