ROG STRIX B350-F GAMING issues

[sohilj23]

Hello,
I have this motherboard and It's been couple of days since I built the PC and since then I have a problem with Asus Aura, every time that I select a color in the program, It shows something else on the LED Strip, Blue is Green, Green is Red and Red is Blue ! I saw a video on Youtube about this RGB issue and the guy had the same problem and he was saying the board has problem! ( RGB Headers ), Currently I'm using Phanteks LED Strip ( 1 meter )
Does anyone here have any experience like mine ?


I'm also experiencing some CPU spike for 1-2 seconds that has %99 CPU usage and in the task manager, I found the usage caused by System and I have no clue why this is happening, My windows is fresh and clean.

My spec :
Ryzen 5 1600
ASUS ROG STRIX B350-F
Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB (2x4GB) Running on 3066 MHz
XFX RX 580
Seagate 2TB BarraCuda
Crucial MX300 275GB ( latest firmware)

There is a option In Aura software to configure the led strip, when you use that option one colour at a time lights up, and the software asks you what colour are you seeing. Look it up - not in front of my pc right now

I've done the calibration and all the colors look fine in calibration mode but after that, They are still same and the output is different.
I read somewhere there is a 4 Pin LED adapter for Phanteks LED strip. Do you think is that necessary ? Cause I don't have it and the LED strip connected directly to motherboard.

Is it a 4 pin 12V 50-50 RGB strip? check it's compatibility. Becs the latest Aura and BIOS combo not showing any issues.

try to avoid core parking when downclocking and always use the latest amd chipset drivers before doing so as they are 17.40 in the moment. there is a reason that your cpu dosent clock down all the way it used to.

In reguards to the Phanteks LED Strip this is not an issue with the mobo its a problem with the Phanteks LED Strip and its the problem i had when i also bought a Phanteks LED Strip as its sold as compatable with aurasync and it is, it's just not 100% compatable out the box and the problem is that the Phanteks LED Strip uses different wireing from the RGB output on the mobo and while the 12v is in the right place the order of the RGB signals is all wrong, I forget the exact order as it was back in August when had to rewire the strip but the mobo is like 12v, R, B, G where as the Phanteks LED Strip is 12v, G, B, R

I am using deepcool magnetic rgb strips. Works straight out of the box with no issues till date with aura. But funny is that they never say it is aura compatible hahaha.

Thanks for information regarding this, Now I feel better since it's not motherboard issue.
These stupid marketing advertisement made me think that LED strip is okay since it's compatible and the issue is motherboard, I bought that 4 Pin LED Adapter, Maybe it has corrected the wiring so I don't need to mess up with them, Once I get it I'll let u know.
Regarding the 50-50 or 12v I'm not sure, I couldn't find any information about these on the product's description on Amazon but the funny thing is, With wrong calibration ( choosing wrong colors ) I was able to get a right color out of the LED strip ! But by doing so, The color doesn't match with the one on the motherboard.

Hi, 1st of all , sorry for my bad english
I got a problem with my MoBo strix B350-F in my new build
User's Manual at page 1-5 says that I have to install RAM memories in slots A2 & B2, I installed in this way but my PC only showed a black screen and a RED light at the MoBo Q-LEDs , so I changed the RAM to A1 and B1 and the computer started, i left the default settings at the BIOS and intalled Windows without any issue, the after installing the latest BIOS and drivers I went back to A2 & B2 and again it didnt work, so I decided to leave the RAM at A1 & B1 but sometimes the computer freezes at the ROG logo and it doesnt even showed the circle with dots that indicates that Windows is loading, so I was tiered that I couldnt use my computer so I left the RAM at A1 & A2 and now it starts without problems but I can't play any game that I've installed, I've tried with 3 games but when it's time to play all games crashes, I dont know why , 've already made a test with MEMTEST but is showed no errors, I'm worried because i'm afraid that those suddenly crashes appear while i am working Matlab, Labview or making some College homework.
Thanks for your atention and comments
