![]() I then downloaded an older version of Aura (ver 1.06.17) that I knew had previously worked on my system. Using the free version of Revo Uninstaller, I removed Aura, used the advanced scan, then ran CCleaner to remove any registry traces of the program. This happened purely by accident as a last-ditch attempt to get the damn software to recognise my motherboard and GPU, since the errors were becoming weirder at every uninstall/reinstall, with such messages as “Non-Aura products” and “The service is unavailable”. None of these methods worked for me at all and whilst some may say that OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) was kicking in, I would disagree– a little OCD goes with the territory. These involve using Revo Uninstaller, CCleaner to clean the registry, cold boots, disconnecting the power, taking the dog for a brisk walk in a blizzard whilst simultaneously pulling your boxer shorts over your head and singing Dixie in an Elvis style. Asus has released numerous versions of Aura during the last twelve months without even recognising that there is a problem, so most of us have to revert to various black magic tricks to fix it. This is a saga that’s been ongoing for months and the Asus community forums are filled with pages of disgruntled users seeking a solution to this problem. ![]() The sync software worked perfectly for months, but after updating to a new Aura release, neither the motherboard or GPU were recognised, or the software simply would not run. In my system, I have an Asus Strix RX580 GPU and an Asus Crosshair Hero VII motherboard, both of which are Aura-enabled. When it works, it’s mighty impressive and the colours can be set to millions of combinations in either static or breathing and a host of other lighting effects. ![]() Aura Sync is software that allows you to synchronise the RGB lighting on Aura-enabled components such as motherboards, GPUs, keyboards, mice, memory and other components. That may be so, but when you’ve paid hundreds of dollars for Asus products, you want them to work straight out of the box. Some may regard the syncing of sexy lighting in your rig as over the top bling, so when it goes wrong we’ve got a first-world problem on our hands. ![]()
