How to Enable Aura Sync Control for Corsair RGB RAM: Seamless Integration Guide

When we look at customizing our PC setup, having components that not only perform well but also sync aesthetically is a game-changer. Aura Sync by ASUS provides an excellent platform for synchronization, and thanks to recent developments, it’s now possible to control the lighting effects of CORSAIR RGB RAM with this software. We’ll guide you through how to enable this feature, boosting the overall look of your gaming rig or workstation with vibrant, synchronized colors.

For those of us who have already invested in CORSAIR’s VENGEANCE RGB PRO or DOMINATOR PLATINUM RGB modules, the addition of Aura Sync control is a welcome enhancement. It’s a straightforward process that involves installing a plugin and ensuring your iCUE software is up to date. By doing so, you unlock the capability to seamlessly integrate your RGB memory’s lighting with other Aura Sync-compatible devices. This integration offers not only a unified aesthetic but also allows for the creation of light patterns across your entire setup for a truly immersive experience.

Preparing for Installation

Before diving into the aura of mesmerizing colors, we need to make certain our system is primed and our toolkit is complete. It’s crucial that our motherboard shakes hands with the Corsair RGB RAM, and the necessary software orchestrates this RGB harmony.

Checking System Compatibility

Ensuring Motherboard and DRAM Compatibility:

Verify that your motherboard supports ASUS Aura Sync.
Check if your Corsair RGB RAM is listed as compatible with your motherboard.

Our first order of business is to confirm compatibility. Since Aura Sync is an ASUS-exclusive feature, we must ensure that our motherboard is an ASUS model with Aura Sync support. We should also make sure our Corsair RGB RAM is specifically compatible with the motherboard we’re using.

Downloading Necessary Software

We’ll require two primary programs to enable full control of our RGB setup: the iCUE software from Corsair and ASUS Aura Sync, or the Armoury Crate application for a more up-to-date suite. Both orchestrate our RGB settings.

Here’s what to do:

Download the Latest Version of iCUE	Install ASUS Software
Head to the Corsair downloads page. Fetch the latest version of iCUE.	Navigate to the ASUS website. Get Armoury Crate or AURA Sync software.

Once we’ve determined that our hardware is Aura Sync-ready and we’ve installed the latest versions of iCUE and ASUS’ Aura Sync software or Armoury Crate, we’re ready to move forward. Patience here is key; ensure each software set is fully up-to-date to avoid conflicts or functionality issues later on.

Installation Process

In this section, we’re covering the necessary steps to install Corsair RGB memory modules and enable ASUS motherboard integration for seamless lighting control.

Installing Corsair RGB Memory

Initially, ensure that your Corsair RGB memory is compatible with your ASUS motherboard and that you have the latest BIOS and firmware updates installed. Here’s how we move forward with the installation:

Step 1: Power down your computer and unplug it to ensure safety.

Step 2: Open your PC case and gently insert the Corsair RGB memory modules into the DIMM slots on your motherboard. Press down firmly until the side clips click into place.

Step 3: Close the case, plug the power back in, and turn on your PC to check if the system recognizes the new memory.

Enabling ASUS Motherboard Integration

The next phase is integrating our freshly installed Corsair RGB memory with the ASUS motherboard for that synchronized lighting effect. This part involves downloading and installing a plugin.

Step 1: Visit the Corsair official website to download the Aura Sync plugin specific to your Corsair RGB memory.

Step 2: Run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the plugin installation.

Step 3: Launch the Aura Sync software, and it should now detect your Corsair RGB memory. From there, you can control and synchronize the lighting effects across all compatible devices.

Configuring Aura Sync and iCUE

For those looking to create a visually cohesive and dynamic gaming setup, synchronizing Corsair RGB memory with Aura Sync through iCUE software is a game-changer. We’ll guide you through linking your Corsair RGB memory to Aura Sync and customizing lighting effects for an immersive experience.

Linking Corsair RGB Memory to Aura Sync

First, ensure you have the Corsair iCUE software and the Corsair RGB memory plugin for ASUS Aura Sync installed on your computer. This plugin is imperative for the RGB memory to communicate with Aura Sync.

Steps to link:

Open iCUE software.
Go to Settings and then to the Plugins tab.
Install the ASUS plugin if it isn’t already.
In the iCUE software, click on the Link/Unlink button next to the DRAM icon to enable control through Aura Sync.
Navigate to the Aura Sync software to confirm that the Corsair memory is recognized and listed.

Customizing Lighting Effects

Once the Corsair RGB memory is linked to Aura Sync, it’s time to get creative with the lighting effects to match your style and preferences. Both Aura Sync and iCUE offer a range of eye-catching effects to choose from.

Using Aura Sync	Using iCUE Software
To customize lighting effects in Aura Sync: Click on AURA Effects within the Aura software. Choose from various effects like static, breathing, strobing, and more to apply to your Corsair RGB memory.	For iCUE, to customize lighting effects: Select your memory from the device section in iCUE. Pick from an array of effects, or create a custom lighting profile that reflects your gaming ambiance.

Through iCUE, ensure the Enable full software control option is selected for deeper customization options. This allows us to easily synchronize lighting across all our compatible devices for a unified look.

Troubleshooting and Support

In facing issues with enabling Aura Sync control for Corsair RGB RAM, we understand user frustrations. Here, we address installation complications and provide guidance on reaching out to Corsair’s customer support.

Addressing Common Installation Issues

When installation doesn’t go as planned, ensure iCUE is up-to-date and components are compatible. If Aura Sync fails to detect the Corsair RAM, verify that the “CORSAIR RGB Memory Plugin for ASUS AURA SYNC” is installed properly. Problems can also arise if Armoury Crate is not current.

Common solutions include restarting the software, checking USB connection stability, and ensuring no conflicting RGB software is running concurrently. When errors persist, consider consulting Corsair’s forum for shared user experiences or revisiting the official installation guides.
