RGB Fusion Tool

Installation

You can build RGB Fusion Tool locally (see below), install it as a Chocolatey package (choco install rgbfusiontool), or extract one of the builds listed on GitHub Releases.

Dependencies

Get GLedApi.dll, YccV2.dll, and layout.ini from Gigabyte's RGB Fusion SDK.

Get GvBiosLib.dll, GvDisplay.dll, and GvLedLib.dll from a Gigabyte RGB Fusion Utility (the version of GvLedLib.dll included in SDKs 18.1004.1 to 19.0311.1 have a missing dependency on GvIllumLib.dll)

Unfortunately, GvLedLib.dll was built against a debug version of the VS2012 SDK. It may be possible to rename mfc110u.dll and msvcr110.dll from the official redistributable package to their respective debug (d) versions. Otherwise the solution is to fetch them from Visual Studio 2012 Update 5:

Extract the libraries from mu_visual_studio_2012_update_5_x86_dvd_6967467.iso\packages\vcRuntimeDebug_x86\cab1.cab:

• F_CENTRAL_mfc110ud_x86, rename to mfc110ud.dll

Running

As of the B19.0311.1 SDK release this tool will need to be run as an Administrator.

RGBFusionTool is a command line tool. For usage instructions run:

RGBFusionTool.exe --help

Examples

Set all zones to red (50% brightness)

RGBFusionTool.exe --static=Red --brightness 50

Color cycle with 2 second transitions in zone 0

RGBFusionTool.exe --zone=0 --colorcycle=2

List zones

RGBFusionTool.exe --list

Set zones 0 through 3 to color cycle at different speeds (with verbose output)

RGBFusionTool.exe --verbose --zone=0 --cycle=32 --zone=1 --cycle=16 --zone=2 --cycle=8 --zone=3 --cycle=4

Troubleshooting

• Verify you're using a supported motherboard
• Attempt running the tool in an elevated command prompt
• Ensure all Gigabyte SDK DLLs are present (see Dependencies)
• Power down the motherboard completely (such that the power supply is shut off or unplugged) and power isn't coming in through USB. Wait ~20 seconds for the board to discharge. (There's an issue where the controller can get stuck and only a complete power down seems to reset it.)
