From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Anyone here has RX 9070 XT? Is there a way to disable RGB? (lemm.ee)

Hi all!

I know that AMD has software for controlling RGB on Windows. I found some old threads where someone suggested disconnecting the LEDs themselves, which is not something I'm willing to do with my 2-day old card.

I also would love not having to switch to Windows just to turn the bloody RGB off.

I've never used OpenRGB and I don't quite understand their compatibility guide for the 9070, so I'm not sure if it's doable there.

So! Does anyone here have that card and was able to disable RGB on Linux?

As a sidenote: I just realised that my OS sees two GPUss - the dGPU and the iGPU. Is there a way I can turn iGPU off so that it doesn't get in the way?

Any help appreciated!

Oh, I should probably mention - I'm on:

OS Garuda Linux x86_64
├ Kernel Linux 6.13.8-zen1-1-zen
├ Packages 1366 (pacman)[stable]
├ Shell fish 4.0.1

DE KDE Plasma 6.3.4
├ Window Manager KWin (Wayland)

Looking at pictures of the card, the rgb header is right next to the PCIE connector. Could just unplug it.

Hmm... There's a connector from the card to 3-pin connector on the motherboard, but the description in the manual suggests that it only allows me to control RGB through it. As in: if I don't connect it, they'll just be on in whatever default state they're in and that's that.

I'll look into this, thanks!

Sorry, I was suggesting unplugging the RGB cable from the GPU itself, it looks accessible without disassembling anything. There are two headers right next to the PCI-E connector and I'd say the 4-pin one is the one to remove. Can always plug it back in later if you happen to change your mind and need that sweet RGB LED action! :)
