I've been pestering everybody since Xmas trying to get my Dominator RGB RAM to show up in my Asus X99 mb. Everybody on here and on the Discord chat is so helpful, while the Asus Discord has a few too many l33t speakers insulting each other; I didn't look very hard there for answers. Naturally, it took a Corsair forum member to point me to the single toggle in the Asus BIOS (enable DRAM SPD Write under DRAM Timing Control) and I finally got all the control that's currently possible in iCue on such a legacy MB.

Thank you c-attack I've been looking all over Corsair's faqs, because the forum and their Discord chats are so incredibly helpful. Should've been poring over Asus's faqs, but of course I get my answer from team Corsair. That toggle in the BIOS was all it took. Finally, the Dominator RGB really ties the case together.

My first guess was indeed PEBKAC, thank you for confirming that with solid information and useful links. after reviewing them, and I have access to the desktop in use on the other side of the partner desk, I will update this thread.

Just followed install instructions to the letter; I had the latest Aura Sync, but did not start it. The plug-in needs to be unpacked and its folder nested in the iCue plug-ins folder. MB didn't show up until reboot, but no matter what I did, settings remained the default left over from Aura. I can't yet tell whether I'm using the software wrong, or that it's just not working properly on such a legacy MB. iCue runs the RGB on my fans and AIO cooler just fine, so still worth experimenting with this beta SW.

New Dominator Platinum RGB 64GB (4x16GB) 3200MHz C16 runs fine on my X99 Asus ROG Rampage V edition 10 MB. With a mild overclock at 4.0, I may only be running at stock XMP of 2100, since I have not set the voltage on the new RAM at 1.35; it's stable at 1.2, so soon I'll attack the BIOS more rigorously. The RGB rainbow cycles by default. Even after the latest iCue and Aura plugins from 2020 CES, the RAM does not show up in iCue. The only time it did, I had to enable software control in the BIOS, when all the RGB settings showed up until reboot; it appears I was expected to control *all* of the RAM settings in iCue rather than BIOS, where all my settings had vanished. Am I experiencing PEBKAC? Should I not be able to control RGB alone in iCue without having to control all RAM timings in an app instead of the BIOS? Perhaps I should be happy with the pleasing, but rather bright, pattern and be grateful my X99 can do anything with such a new upgrade.

While no x99 boards are listed as supported, my ROG Rampage V E 10 does appear in iCue. This is an improvement, although nothing seems to change the MB lighting from the last Aura setting. After a new H115i RGB Platinum, and 3 case fans (LL & ML 140) had already worked so well with CoPro and iCue, I had hoped this might make the Dominator Platinum RGB show up in iCue too. The only time I got the new RAM to show up in iCue, I had toggled the setting in the latest BIOS to allow software control of the RAM, which made it show up controllably in iCue, until reboot forced me into the BIOS, apparently because I hadn't entered timings etc. for the RAM in iCue, or, PEBKAC. Since this support for integrating Aura with iCue is in beta, thought I'd give a report, while looking for the thread for the RGB RAM issues.

Seasonally generous return policies abound. I'm likely to go with 4X8Gb RGB, for what may only be marginal performance improvement; if the 32Gb doesn't process 4K much faster, 64Gb won't be any better.

Thanks for the quick response and link, I've got to improve my search skills. It looks like even the RGB might work, but I've lived without it this long. The goal isn't to run at stock speed of course, but it's the ram amount that's the current bottleneck and speed would be nice.

I have an old X99 I built with Corsair case, AX1200i PSU, i7 6850K, Corsair AIO cooler, Samsung M.2 SSD, Asus ROG RAMPAGE V Edition 10, Asus ROG Strix 1080GTX, Corsair Dominator 4X4GB DDR4 RAM. The RAM I'm looking at, CORSAIR DOMINATOR PLATINUM 64GB (4x16GB) DDR4 3200MHz C16 Desktop Memory - CMD64GX4M4C3200C16 -- is not on the tested list from Asus. The system has been running Autodesk and Adobe graphics and VR since 2016, and we're starting to edit 4K video. System is stable at 3.6. Is populating the same 4 of 8 slots going from DDR3 to DDR4, from 16 to 64Gb, a challenge apart from the usual mucking about in the bios? Is the RGB version right out because it's designed for X299 and later processors? Looking to reduce risk for a solid upgrade, thanks for any advice.
