Tack Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Ok so where to start. I have 3 Digital Lighting Controllers in my current build. From a Riing Plus 120 5pack From a Floe Riing RGB 360 TT Premium Edition From a Pacific Lumi Plus In total I have 8x 120mm Riing plus 1x 140mm Riing plus 3x Lumi plus strips 1x Floe aio So my many issues started with the software not responding constantly. So I was fed up and reinstalled windows as a end all solution. But that seems to have opened up chaos. Now my issues are as follows the software still randomly stops responding. If i change the color on one controller it changes the color on all the others(flailing arms while saying this) 50% of the time when changing the colors I lose one or two controllers from the software and the only way to bring them back is to unplug the power from the controllers for a few sec. So far I have tried Reinstalling the TT RGB Plus software Reinstalling windows Different usb headers Different usb cables Changing the dip switches This is on windows 10 pro build:16299.309 using TT RGB Plus software version 1.1.6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freewheelin76 Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Well the controllers and software are already buggy with a few devices and 1 controller. With 3 controllers and up to 9 devices this sounds like a nightmare with no light on the horizon. You could always try the 9 port controller and put everything into that and sync it with your MB but you will lose functionality of the TT software completely and have to use your MB software to configure the lighting. From experience, the lighting effects are smoother this way but you lose some functionality and individuality per device. Good luck my friend.

ThermalMike Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Try stepping back a little and go with 1 controller at a time and see if one of them is the culprit. The color changes with all of the controller if all controller are all on the same profile. - If you want them to be different, assign the controller to different profiles and just set what you want for each. Make sure all the DIP switches are set correctly, it really does not matter which one you assign as long as they are all on different ones. How do you have the controllers connected? 3? Using the daisy chain cable? make sure #1 is on the USB header and then daisy chain the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to use the 9 port controller but it uses the mb digital rgb header and I already have 14feet of digital rgb on the case hooked to my motherboard. So I like having the other software control the TT fans/strips so I have more color options. If it was a 9 port software driven controller and not piggy backing off the mb headers it would be pure bliss 1 hour ago, ThermalMike said: Try stepping back a little and go with 1 controller at a time and see if one of them is the culprit.

Also only 2 have they ability to daisy chain as one has a black sticker where the port would be. I have move around controllers and I think two of the controller are bad but what are the chances of that. The two that I am having issues with seem copy what controller 3 does and disappear from the app when I try and fight it. Here is when they are sort of working but copying all data from the third controller. Here is when the two disappear Here is the dip switches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tack Posted March 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 So I got replacement controllers from support and the only difference is the power cable on the old ones had a chip in-line. But it has fixed them losing power. But I still have the issue that if I change a setting on one controller it gets copied to the other controllers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThermalMike Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Hi, This is the new cable to support newer MB that have these really painful power reduction features. With this it should solve for the issue. For the software, I sent you a reply to the PM you send me, you have them all on the same profile, so they will always be the same. If you want them different, just change your profiles on the controller, this will also be where you might need to switch some connections to based on how you have it setup.
