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.
