Hi, I got my build today and am very happy with it, but I cannot seem to find how to control the rgb strip that was placed with my pc? I have ICUE but it only detects the ram, motherboard and case fans? Is there something else I need to download?

Is the RGB strip plugged into your motherboard or does it have its own remote/similar?

It's plugged into my motherboard, I have checked the connection and it seems to be plugged it fine? it's plugged into the ADD_GEN2 slot I believe? I have the asus TUF B550 motherboard if that helps.

I've not used this myself so I can't vouch for how well it works, but I noticed that iCue have a plug in for Armoury Crate so that (hopefully) you can sync up all of your RGB:

I think that plugin only lets Armoury Crate control the RGB on RAM, not the RGB strips or fans.

Pity there's not an Armoury Crate plug-in for iCUE to control Asus items from iCUE :(

The frames and pc is running perfectly fine but in task manager it is running at 100% load on a game that isn't very gpu demanding (runescape 3) is there something I can change configure wise or is it normal and ok? Again i'm not experiencing any lag and the temps are perfectly fine (67%)

Completely normal.

FWIW iCue will do the RGB 12V headers but not the ARGB 5V headers on ASUS motherboards.

I got my build on Thursday and since having it there's been this noise, I've tried listening to my fans by opening my case etc but I can't pinpoint any of them, does anyone have any ideas of what else could be causing it? It's not constant but pretty frequent and is driving me crazy.

Just wondering if anyone could help with this? Still happening and it's really annoying. I have emailed tech support but waiting for a response from them what it could be.

Also an extra fan mounted above the gpu, which isn't branded I don't believe.
If you can post the full specs as in this link:

Ok I have just done more investigating, stopping each fan etc. I believe it's the CoolerMaster MasterLiquid Lite 240 High Performance Liquid Cooler making the noise.

That was my guess as well. Is it coming from the fans or the pump? (The pump is integrated into the CPU block.)
