I have a set of TridentZ RGB - I want to turn off the RGB. I know I can install Armoury Crate or G.skill RGB software and turn it off there. However, this requires me to use a piece of software. Turning it off with software and uninstalling just makes it turn back on again after a power cycle. I don't suppose there's any way to turn it off permanently through saving to some sort of on board thing? Or set some sort of BIOS setting that will disable it, that I haven't been able to see? (Asus Prime X470-Pro). The whole notion is I don't want to run software just for the explicit purpose of turning off some LEDs whenever my PC boots. I COULD do it, but I'd rather not
Why would you be turning the rgb off? The latency goes up and ram runs slower speeds. Do some lights worth all that? No.
Impossible. There are a lot of threads on gskill forums and it's software controled. I have also trident kit and that tool is on startup and I turn it of manually
Armoury Crate is AIDS to the system and seriously difficult to wipe out, uninstalling it doesn't get rid of the parasites it leaves all over your PC. Just deal with the RGB rather than use that software.

I needed it to do it It saves those states to the motherboard, because for some reason I couldn't turn it off completely in BIOS, it would rainbow on the motherboard when on regardless of me setting it to "Off" in there. But RAM states aren't saved. As soon as you shut down, it's on again next boot. I think I got it all cleaned off. Even if I felt really bad putting it on my almost fresh OS install. Thanks - I'll try and look in to it.
Is this a joke? I mean it sounds silly, but I heard of SPD corruption with certain tools and I figure the RGB firmware on RAM can be just as-buggy as any other firmware
I ended up just going with G.skills own tridentz software, that seems to be the most lightweight, doesn't dump thousands of services and tasks on your system. Then I just set up a delayed task in Windows that kills the hid.exe file a minute after login... RAM LEDs turn off, LED software isn't running.
