ASUS ARGB Effects on Motherboard Gen 2?

I’m looking to set up ARGB effects for my fans from my manjaro KDE instance (motherboard: PRIME-PRO X570).

Not sure how to do this though. I saw that openRGB seems like a promising start. What’s the method for doing this on manjaro though? Are there certain packages to install or should I just build from source and use modprobe to install the modules?

Is there a UI avaiable for this too ¯_(ツ)_/¯?

Usually prefer to use AUR pkgbuilds instead of building from source

enable AUR support in pamac and install the base-devel group first

there are multiple ways to use the AUR

openrgb from the AUR

UI for AUR is pamac with AUR support enabled which seems you already use

UI for led control; openrgb is a graphical UI

openrgb don’t have modules so no need for that
