I see the problem as two different companies not willing to work together, appears the solution could be simple. This disproves the theory that the RGB cannot be shut off on the memory because the memory must maintains voltage for data retention during sleep mode and it also proves that this can be done with software, after all if the Corsair RGB memory can be cycled off and on why not be able to turn it off. I have been running Aura in Rainbow mode but switched to 'single color wave' set to the fastest speed, the slowest speed may work better for the results I describe below:Įxperimenting I discovered that if I wait for the color wave to cycle on, and the timing is critical and can affect the results, I can click the sleep button in the quick launch and as the PC starts to sleep the memory's RGB cycles off and stays off just like the other RGB's in my machine. You can follow a few methods to get around the issue when Windows 10 won’t sleep.
If this doesn’t happen, it’s a cause of concern as something is off with your system. This works everytime for the MB, PhAntecs LED strips and Halos but would leave the Corsair RGB memory at whatever the color was when I slept the PC. Sleep mode-enabled PCs should enter sleep mode after the expiry of the specified time in settings. I have the BIOS set to turn off RGB when the PC is in sleep mode. I am running a ROG Strix Z370-E/Corsair 3200 RGB.
