Qcode 30 is Reserved for ASL unless you fail to boot the code should mean nothing.
Qcode AA or 40 also mean nothing, successful handoff to OS.
Corsair did a plugin with Asus for RGB lighting to take control for motherboard.

Icue does not play well with asus suite / armour and/or and other RGB software products if installed. It can be frustrating time to get it working, all I can tell you for sure is that it does work on my x570 ch8. So I suspect it will for you as well.
if you do have other rgb programs installed. Uninstall them and icue, reboot and then reinstall icue and see if this gives you control.
In regards to qcode poster, unless the system freezes with a certain qcode '8d' example or displays qcodes that are not AA, 40 or 30 then think of these as 'Successful handoff to OS' which AA & 40 are identified as. I have x370 and x570, they both display one of three variations AA, 40 or 30 and work flawlessly.

There was also another option I chose under secure boot I had it set to 'Other OS' instead of Windows UEFI... Not sure what this all about but I put it back on Windows. Is there anywhere I can read on what each setting does in this BIOS? There's so much here I don't fully comprehend for the most part I'm not messing around with any settings I don't need to but on the same token I'm probably not unlocking the full power of my computer.

What other OS and CSM normally used for.
CSM - Compatibility Support Module
The Compatibility Support Module (CSM) is a component of the UEFI firmware that provides legacy BIOS compatibility by emulating a BIOS environment, allowing legacy operating systems and some option ROMs that do not support UEFI to still be used. (ie not needed for windows 10)
CSM also provides required legacy System Management Mode (SMM) functionality as an addition to features provided by the UEFI SMM. This is optional, and highly chipset and platform specific. An example of such a legacy SMM functionality is providing USB legacy support for keyboard and mouse, by emulating their classic PS/2 counterparts.
Here is the normal procedure for install of windows on nvme drive.
1 - Make sure you unplug all SATA and USB drives, the M.2 drive has to be the only drive installed.
2 - Go into the bios, under the boot tab there is an option for CSM, make sure it is disabled.
3 - Click on secure boot option below and make sure it is set to other OS, Not windows UEFI.
4 - Click on key management and clear secure boot keys.
5 - Insert a USB memory stick with a UEFI bootable iso of Windows 10 on it.
6 - Press F10 to save, exit and reboot.
7 - Windows will now start installing to your NVME drive as it has its own NVME driver built in.
8 - When the PC reboots hit F2 to go back into the BIOS, you will see under boot priority that windows boot manager now lists your NVME drive.
9 - Click on secure boot again but now set it to WIndows UEFI mode.
10 - Click on key management and install default secure boot keys
11 - Press F10 to save and exit and windows will finish the install.
Once you have Windows up and running, shutdown the PC and reconnect your other SATA drives from port 0/1 to what you have.
HWinfo can check to see if done correctly, on the bottom right of the system summary, Operating System UEFI Boot (in green) & Secure Boot (in green)
What this does is give fastest speed from nvme boot drive with a secure boot process. The secure boot process can be turned off by selecting 'Other OS' if needed (not needed).
CSM can be turned on or off in Windows 10 however fastest is off.
Hope you find this of help.
