Hi everyone,
I'd like to understand if I can set up my RGB LEDs to change colors based on the CPU temperature. While searching, I found conflicting information on websites and communities, some stating it could cause damage while others claim it works fine. Can I do it without any risks?

I have an ASRock AB350 Gaming ITX motherboard with ASRRGBLED installed, which updated the firmware to manage the LEDs. However, I can't seem to find the version anywhere.

I've also installed OpenRGB (version 0.9), which can detect various devices with LEDs, including the motherboard itself, and I can successfully set the colors using both OpenRGB and ASRGBLED. I want to set up the motherboard's LED color based on CPU temperature. Googling, I found the Hardware sync plugin, which I installed successfully.

However, while setting up the "measurement," I noticed an exclamation point next to the motherboard, indicating it doesn't have "direct mode," and using an effect could damage the flash or controller. Googling, I found some users claiming to have damaged the motherboard, while others use OpenRGB without issues. Can anyone help me understand if I can use OpenRGB to set up temperature-based LED changes on the motherboard?
