    Question How to control ARGB fans with ASRock software?

    I have an ASRock B550M Pro4 motherboard and SilverStone PF240-ARGB all-in-one ("AIO") CPU liquid cooler.

    I have the radiator fans connected to ADDR_LED1 and the pump connected to ADDR_LED2.

    Nothing is connected to RGB_LED1 nor RGB_LED2.

    Everything lights up but it's in 'rainbow mode', presumably the standard setting.

    I have installed ASRock Polychrome RGB v2.0.83 but I do not seem to be able to control the lighting with the software (please see included screenshot).

    There was a control unit that came with AIO cooler but I didn't connect that yet as I presumed that was for those without motherboards that can have the ARGB connectors.

    Is anyone able to assist?

    Try through the BIOS, ASrock boards can often control ARGB settings directly from there.

    You're correct - I was indeed able to alter the ARGB from there. It's a shame I have to go into the UEFI to make quick changes.

    I've noticed I can not change channels ADDR_LED1 and ADDR_LED2 independently of each other (I am unable to post a UEFI screenshot as I currently have not reached five posts).

    This means the radiator fans RGB and pump RGB are having to match.

    Do you think this is just a limitation of the motherboard?
