Does anyone else have the same problem and can explain why GGC can no longer control my RAM RGB? It was working fine until recently, and now the setting is missing in GGC. Could this be a bug caused by updates? I’ve already reinstalled it, but it still doesn’t work.

December 22, 2022 -

Afternoon all!

For those that have been effected by the latest GCC updated. Please make sure error logging is enabled in GCC.

And can you respond with the model of your gpu (revision too if its more than 1.0) and a copy of the error log.

You can also drop these error logs to me in the Aorus discord, and i'll pass them upward.

Also, if you can check in C:\Program Files\GIGABYTE\Control Center\logs too, that will be helpful.

for anyone that is still on 23.03.02.01, please, stay there!

UPDATE

If you can forward your error logs before doing this, this will help getting this bug fixed :)

But, for the mean time.

Navigate to C:\Program Files\GIGABYTE\Control Center\Lib\Download

Locate GBT_VGA_23.03.10.01.exe, and reinstall it from here.

This has fixed it my end, but some confirmation would be nice!

UPDATE 2 For those that do not have GBT_VGA_23.03.10.01.exe locally on their machine, here is a direct link from gigabytes servers. https://mb.download.gigabyte.com/FileList/Swhttp/LiveUpdate4/GCC/GBT_VGA/GBT_VGA_23.03.10.01.exe

UPDATE 3 Gigabyte has pushed out an update on the 11th of april that fixes the issue around GBT_VGA_23.04.07.02. GBT_VGA_23.04.11.01 is now available for download within GCC.

UPDATE 4 There may still be issues, if you have any, please post them below.

Hi Ahmed H. Al-Khars,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I'm Hahn and I'm here to help you with your concern.

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with the Gigabyte Control Center. Let's try to troubleshoot and address each of your concerns:

  1. Issues with Minimizing Windows and Games:
    • Check for conflicting software. Some third-party applications or overlays can interfere with the proper functioning of system control software. Try disabling or uninstalling any such software temporarily to see if the problem persists.
    • Verify if your graphics drivers are up to date. Visit the official website of your graphics card manufacturer to download and install the latest drivers.
      • Disable Overlays: Some overlay features in GCC might conflict with other applications. Try disabling any overlays or additional features.
      • Compatibility Mode: Right-click on the GCC executable and choose "Properties." Under the "Compatibility" tab, try running it in compatibility mode for an older version of Windows.
  2. GCC not detecting RAM, CPU cooler, and fan control:
    • Make sure you have installed the latest chipset drivers for your motherboard. These drivers are crucial for proper communication between hardware components and control software.
      • GCC Permissions: Run GCC as an administrator. Sometimes it needs elevated permissions to access hardware information.
  3. PC Overall Performance:
    • If your PC performance is slow, it might not be directly related to the Gigabyte Control Center. Check for other factors such as background processes, unnecessary startup programs, or malware.
  4. Contact Gigabyte Support:
    • If the problems persist after trying the above steps, consider reaching out to Gigabyte's official support. They may provide specific guidance or updates related to your motherboard and software.

I hope this helps.  If there is anything not clear, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Your Sincerely

Hahn - MSFT | Microsoft Community Support Specialist

r/gigabyte on Reddit: problem with Gigabyte Control Center (GCC) update
February 19, 2025 -

Hello, I have a small problem. A few days ago, a Gigabyte Control Center update appeared, and I installed it on February 14th, 2025. After the update, the computer restarted. When I launched a game like CS2 or another, the graphics card fans started to run incredibly loudly, like a fighter jet. In the CS2 lobby, the RPM is 3000. I should add that before the update, I had no problems; the computer ran quietly even in more demanding titles. I tried to revert the update to the previous version, but it had no effect. I also set the fan curves, saved them, but they always reset to the previous values after restarting the computer.

Motherboard: B650 Eagle Graphics card: Gigabyte RX 7800xt 16GB

If anyone can help, I would be grateful. Below I'm sending a few screenshots from GCC.

I'm also sending the list of updates that were installed on February 14th, 2025. Maybe someone has an earlier version of GCC and a download link? That would be great.

r/gigabyte on Reddit: PSA: If you updated your BIOS and your RGB is messed up, before running any more firmware updates try calibrating your lighting through GCC.
1 month ago -

I had updated a day ago my BIOS to version F39 and suddenly my RGB did not work it was either green or it would turn off completely.

eSupport suggested to install GIGABYTE IT5701/ 5702 firmware which did not work (CMD would close instantly), also tried multiple solutions suggested in this sub to no avail.

I decided to go back to GCC and disabled sync in RGB fusion and I noticed that when doing so and going to the mobo lighting settings, a button that says Calibration appears, I went ahead and did the calibration, and lo and behold my lights now work properly.

So, before running any other firmware updates that might further mess up your system, just try calibrating your lights through GCC, it may just be all you need to do.
