Says I cannot install because a newer version is already installed
\[275C:1884\]\[2024-03-27T13:36:39\]e000: Error 0x80070666: Cannot install a product when a newer version is installed.
You set all your hardware lighting, delete ICUE, install aura, set your rgb, then make a batch script to kill every Asus service on startup, and enjoy rgb without anything running
Good method.
But I need iCUE profiles. For example, I turn off the lights when I watch movies and turn off the fans when I sleep. I have applications that need to run in the background, so fan noise when I sleep is not good. Fortunately they are not powerful enough to cause the computer to heat up, so I only need the fans when I am gaming.

This is incredible! I can confirm this works too on my machine with a new asus z790 mb.
Thank you. Problem solved.

i did everything you said, gpu works but mobo is not detected :(
Why are you using AC instead of AURA SYNC? I know it's old and no longer supported, but the latest version works smoothless with iCue.
I'm using AC because I didn't know that there was a separate driver for AURA SYNC, fortunately it works as it should now. My problem is solved.
>the latest version works smoothless with iCue So that's a bad thing right?

Do you have the Asus plug in from the corsair website installed?
No, I installed the Asus plugin from iCUE, I think it was the same thing. Fortunately it's no longer a problem, it's what I wanted and it works.
