  • Trident Z RGB Software Possible Fix

    Hi G.SKILL,

    I have the latest version of the RBB control software installed, but the application does not want to open as it cannot recognise my installed Trident Z RGB ram. I have 2 memory sticks, 8gb each running in dual-channel mode. My BIOS is the latest version, with a z270 chipset.

    My ram is currently installed in slot 2 and 4, but the software does not recognise it and fails to open. I changed the memory sticks to slot 1 and 3, requiring me to remove one of my CPU cooler fans. The software now recognises the ram and allows me to configure its effects.

    Since I need 2 fans on my heatsink to adequately cool my CPU, I cannot leave my memory sticks in slots 1 and 3. I have now reverted back to having the memory sticks in slots 2 and 4, but again the software does not detect the installed ram, not allowing me to fully open the RGB control application.

    I believe that the software only seeks if G.Skill Trident Z RGB ram is installed in the first socket, allowing the application to fully open and allow styles for the memory sticks to be configured.

    Could there please be a simple update to the RGB control software to allow memory sticks to be recognised in slots 2 and 4? I am unable to use slots 1 and 3 due to CPU cooler interference.

    Thanks

    I have the latest RGB Controller software installed as well, but it works just fine - what's the history on your system? Did you have other controller software installed at some point?

    Strange, what motherboard and memory? You should be able to switch to 2 and 4. Try resetting the RGB settings within the software?

      Hi,

      My motherboard is ASRock - Fatal1ty Z270 Gaming K6 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

      1) I currently have the Asrock RGB led controller installed, but it only works with the motherboard and an led strip.

      2) Motherboard as stated above, and my memory is G.Skill - Trident Z RGB 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 Memory (F4-3200C16D-16GTZR). Works fine in slots 1 and 3, but the software doesn't recognise the installed memory in slots 2 and 4, starting the g.skill led controller program with an error.

      Thanks

        You are not the only one my friend. All Asrock motherboard with ryzen chipset have the same problem. I have the Asrock B250M and the same ram, in slot 1 and 3, the gskill software reconize it and works well, when in slot 2 and 4 you get an error. I HOPE that G.Skill or Asrock will do something about it.

          Agreed. The program's been in beta for far too long.

            Wish I would have read all these before buying my RAM. With my asrock extreme 4, I either have to have a unstable system using slots A1,B1 or keep the constant rainbow effect, but stable speed of 3600mhz using slots A2,B2. Hopefully a update is comming soon.

              There is no update. There will be no update. I think they are essentially done trying to fix their software. They'd be happy if you'd just use ASUS RGB software and leave them alone.

              And BTW, I have the exact same problem with the ASUS software.

              I bet this will be the first and last time anyone tries to have software controllable RAM using the SMB.
