Now I'm running Mystic Light RGB effects with MSI Afterburner fan curves, and both are fully functional. I identified and disabled the two components that were hijacking MSI Afterburner's fan control with no problems. I fought with this problem for the better part of three hours and in the process I roughly figured out how the Dragon Center services, scheduled tasks and applications work together. Nor did disabling ' Zero Frozr' in the Dragon Center UI (DCUI) the one time that the 'Tools' menu made itself visible and available to me in the DCUI. Uninstalling the 'GPU Fan Control' package didn't change this behavior. This turns out to be behavior caused by Dragon Center's GPU fan management.
I don't need Dragon Center for anything but RGB control over my B550M motherboard.Īfter installing Dragon Center 2.0.86.0, I noticed that my RTX 2080 GPU fans weren't kicking on in compliance with my defined fan speed curves, but cycling on and off.
Some Background: I really like Mystic Light but I also run MSI Afterburner for overclocking and GPU fan control.
