Goals: RGB ALL The Things!
- ALL the effects: RGB Sync App for creating synchronized effects (CPU, audio/video, network ..)
- ALL the platforms: Cross distro (OSX, Linux, Windows ..)
- ALL the motherboards: Cross mobo (Asus, ASRock, MSI ..)
The following synchronized RGB effects are available:
- Currently only for distros and mobos supported by github.com/nagisa/msi-rgb
- Assumes understanding of underlying technologies (see LICENSE).

FAQ
Q: Why does this not work on my OS/motherboard?
A: Try running your Windows 10 RGB software once after a power up - this can activate RGB headers.
A: Contribute to github.com/nagisa/msi-rgb to cover more distro/mobo combos.
Q: Do these effects have any system overhead?
A: Yes - around 1% of a single CPU thread at medium sampling.
Q: Can I run ALL the effects at the same time?
A: Yes - but that will increase system overhead accordingly.
Q: Can I create my own effects?
A: Yes - hack away at the scripts. Hacking the MSI-RGB driver is not recommended for n00bs.
Q: Why is there no temperature effect?
A: Left as an exercise for you. Linux support for sensors on new SIO chips can be limited.
A: You can try modprobe nct6775 force_id=0xd120 for new NCT chips
Q: Might the RGB Sync App be available soon?
A: Yes - it certainly might be. Until then, just configure the scripts manually.
