What i've noticed surrounding support of newer MSI boards

-MSI currently has four utilities out that can control certain motherboard's rgb functions

-Nagisa has reverse engineered the way the MSI gaming app controls motherboard rgb, which supports Intel: X99 / Z270 / H270 / B250 / H110 Series and AMD: X370 / B350 / A320 Series

-So that leaves three more utilities that we need to reverse engineer if we want to get support working on all MSI boards, since each tool potentially controls the boards differently.

-MSI mystic light: Intel: X299 / Z390 / Z370 / H370 / B360 / H310 Series AMD: X399 / X470 / B450 Series (this one might control via SMbus because these boards have the same super io chip, but don't seem to work with this tool. The rgb controller chips on these boards are all different as well.)

-Ambient link (only supports MSI laptops, probably not important to reverse engineer)

-MSI Dragon Center: Intel Z390 Series, MEG X299 CREATION, and ALL AMD x570 boards (All boards listed as supported with dragon center suspiciously use a NUVOTON NCT6797 super io chip, so this tool might write to the super io chip, just as the gaming app does. It also could write to the RGB controller, as all these boards seem to have a NUC126NE4AE RGB controller chip.)

Update: MSI gaming center contains a "UC_mystic_light.dll" which could contain the info we need.
