I recently installed the ASUS Strix LC III 360 RGB AIO cooler, and I've made sure that all the connectors are properly connected, including the CPU fan, AIO pump, and USB. However, I'm having trouble getting my AIO recognized in any software for RGB control. I'm using an ASUS ROG Z390-F Gaming motherboard and I'm beginning to suspect that this older motherboard might not be able to address the RGB through USB. If that's the case, are there any workarounds or solutions? Thanks for your help!

You're right about the USB being for the LCD and not for RGB. Unfortunately, older motherboards may not have full compatibility with the RGB features on newer AIOs. One solution is to check if there are any firmware updates for your motherboard that might improve RGB compatibility. You could also try third-party software like OpenRGB if all else fails.
It sounds like the issue might be with how the RGB is set up. For your AIO cooler, the fans often have a separate 3-pin ARGB connector that needs to be plugged into the motherboard's addressable header for RGB control. The USB connection is typically only for the LCD display on the pump, not for RGB control itself.
Yeah, I have the ARGB fans connected correctly and they're working with the RGB control. The real problem is changing the color on the AIO pump cover and its LCD. It's connected via USB to the motherboard, but it keeps cycling through that annoying rainbow effect!
