Hello, guys! Its me again. Everything worked great until last week. The memory bugs came back by itself. I searched a new solution but I realize the same process indicated by some: "clear the cmos". So I did that on BIOS again and everthing worked like a charm. I think the problem it's in the frequency, beacuse the only thing I did diferent was increase it. So you guys can try this and confirm? Thank you and good luck!
Update (19/08/17)
Recently I updated the bios(ASUS IX HERO) and now I can OC the ram and I have full control of the leds by the Asus Aura. No problems until now, going to the second week today. So far so good. 8)

Corsair Utility Engine - may cause problems
TL;DR: Issues may be caused by Corsair Utility Engine. Reinstalling CUE may help.
With all the warnings of potential problems and conflicts with other RGB software, I felt I should post my experience with the Trident RGB. [My apologies if it's already been posted but I'm unable to get the search function to work for the forum or within a thread while logged on.]
Before installing the ram, I searched online to download the G.Skill RGB controller software. Reading that the software was in beta and all the warnings included, I proceeded to follow some of the instructions but ultimately failed doing any of it after some issues with updating the BIOS. Long story short, my BIOS was fine, and was eager just to see it working so I decided to bypass it all.
Before installation, here are my PC details [never in sleep mode]:
i7-6700k 4.4ghz [using built in MOBO boost]
NZXT Kraken x62 v2 AIO [w/CAM installed for RGB]
ASUS ROG STRIX OC GTX 1080 ti [w/ASUS GPU Tweak II AURA installed for RGB]
Z170A Krait Gaming 3X motherboard
32 GB Trident X RGB 3000 [4x8]
Corsair Keyboard/Mouse RGB peripherals [controlled by Corsair Utility Engine or CUE]
So as is, there's potential conflict installing the G.Skill RGB software from CAM and AURA according to the documentation.
I've had ZERO issues with this set up for the first 14 days. CAM, AURA, and G.Skill programs run, control, and retain individual settings without issue.
That is until a few days ago, I noticed the RAM was back to factory lighting. The G.Skill program would crash and fail at launch. CAM & AURA would function fine. I vaguely remember something updating on the PC and figured out it was CUE and decided to uninstall. The reasoning for this was that there was a known issue with CUE conflicting with Mass Effect Andromeda at launch and the fix was to reinstall at the time. Link below for further reading.

I now have full RGB functionality, and was able to reinstall CUE again with no issues so far.
Cheers,
M.

One stick LED DEAD!
One day after I turn on my computer, I noticed that one stick was stuck in part of the transition of blue to purple while the other one was going from blue to purple as normal, so I tried to change it a few times and nothing worked, so I decided to restart my pc. After it was on again, now the stick that was frozen is dead now. HWinfo still shows that it's running all 16gb of my ram though, and i tried uninstalling the tridentz rgb softwar (the "right way") and reinstalling it to see if something would change, and it says that it has no tridentz rgb modules...
WELP!

Please contact techsupport@gskill.com and include the specs you've listed, as well as your BIOS version and the serial numbers of the memory (it's under the barcode on the label of each module). Our tech support team should be able to help you further, whether it's troubleshooting or determine if an RMA replacement is needed. Thanks!

Unistall Loop
When going to install the software im getting a prompt "Do you want to completely remove the selected application and all of its components?" but when go through with it and try to run it again to install, I get the same prompt about uninstalling, it won't go through installation process. just a uninstall loop.

1. Try going into the Control Panel and see if the G.SKILL Trident Z RGB software is listed. If it is listed, please uninstall from the Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs.
2. Please make sure you've used the "Unblock" method, when you extract the installer and its contents. http://www.gskill.us/forum/showthread.php?t=14713
3. Please do make sure that you've been using the installer for v1.00.28.
If that still doesn't work, please let us know. Thank you!

I had v1.00.08 installed previously. I noticed v1.00.28 available, so I downloaded it. When I first tried to uninstall the old version, I was getting error messages. So I used IObit Uninstaller to completely uninstall it. That was successful. Once that was out of the way, I tried installing the new version and now I'm getting another error "An error occurred while launching the setup. The remote procedure call failed."
I tried removing the "NeedReboot" flag in the article listed below and that did not help. I'm still getting the same error...
http://www.gskill.us/forum/forum/pro...lation?t=14764
I've also checked "Unblock" in the properties and tried installing with "Run as administrator".
Again, v1.00.08 worked just fine prior to all of this. Now I'm screwed and have no software installed. Does anyone have a solution to this error? Win10 64bit with 32gb of trident z rgb.
PS - I've emailed, called (spoke to Alex who referred me back to email), posted here, and pm'ed... it's been days and not one response. Pathetic customer support.

naujoks,
Can you PM me the BIOS version of the motherboard, and the serial numbers of the memory modules? The serial numbers should be located on each label of each module, under the bar code, and starts with a "17-" or "18-". Also, the memory model number, so we have an idea of how many modules you have installed.
If the software doesn't detect the modules, the software shouldn't be able to open. Is the software opening successfully? Or are there just some modules that you can't control?
