I had to do some changes for this to work on my setup:
* MSI z790 Carbon WIFI * 4 pieces of: F5-7200J3445G16GX2-TZ5RSchanged code: https://github.com/Trogious/trident-z5-rgb-off
Thanks so much! And also thanks to @aditya-r-m of course. The changed code for the Z5 ram worked for me on my AMD board.

Mine was slightly different (G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB Series 2x32GB [F5-6400J3239G32GX2-TZ5RW] on an Intel motherboard), so i forked it here: https://github.com/madmaximux/trident-z5-rgb-off.
Thanks @aditya-r-m , @Trogious , and @dls7 !

Great to see the script being useful, thanks all for extended/improved pointers! :)
I'm a huge newbie when it comes to coding and executing scripts. How exactly do I use this? Thank you!
Author
Hi @Awnday, the first thing you may want to try is downloading and running a pre-built official OpenRGB executable.
Using this script safely will involve a few steps and some familiarity with C/C++ and linux.
- Comment out all code in the main function, add a simple print statement, compile with a g++ command, and run the output file from bash.
- Incrementally uncomment code and view print output for variables such as device_string, path, & buffer till you are comfortable with the hardware configuration you are working with.
- Once the script is configured as intended, you can uncomment ENERegisterWrite, and tag the final executable in startup config for linux cron (or systemd) as mentioned at the top of the file.
Please avoid running the script without thoroughly understanding the code, compilation, & execution steps involved, because worst case it can lead to hardware level issues if done wrong.

I found out that the color black is like the LED being turned off. I took the color as black and there was no light anymore.
