OK, this has been bothering me ever since we upgraded the GPU #24, but I can't find a way to turn of the RGB lights since the AMDGPU driver doesn't expose the proper buses to control the lights. Here's the relevant OpenRGB issue: https://gitlab.com/CalcProgrammer1/OpenRGB/-/issues/1707

Another option is to do a PCI GPU passthrough to a Windows virtual machine but that's super complicated and might not even work.

I'm going to try disassembling the GPU today and seeing if I can physically disconnect the RGB lights. There'll be an outage sometime this afternoon for this.

This didn't work.

Also, the RGB lights don't use much power so there's not too much of a point in turning them off to save power.

So does anyone want to try to break their brain and fix this?

Closing for several reason:

  • The RGB lights don't use much power.
  • I'm now used to seeing it with the lights on, so it's going to feel weird when the lights are off.
  • It requires too much time and work to get this fixed and we don't want to have a long outage.
  • There are other more important things to fix.
