    Hey guys, I am having a strange issue with Alienfx. I can change the colors, but for some reason the left size of zone 6 (bottom lights) doesn't always sync up with the color selected. For example if I select red, the right side of zone 6 turns red but the left changes to another color. The left side changes in sync with the rest of the system for only a handful of colors... What gives?

    Even if I try to "Go Dark" all of the lights with the exception of the left zone go dark. ?? I've tried reinstalling command center a few times, and I have the latest version.


    Everything was working ok until I tried to upgraded to w10, but then eventually reinstalled win7 due to some driver issues. I've had this issue on both w10 and now w7

    Can you check your lights the AlienFx tester?

    It might be one of the color led's. I'd suggest a hardware replacement at this point.
