Blue color sometimes not working on Gigabyte 2070 Super RGB, other colors working fine?

Troubleshooting

Hi folks, I tried my luck already over on the Gigabyte subreddit a few days ago but didn't get any replies.

I just got my 2070 Super Gaming OC and the card itself works like a charm. However, very randomly when I boot up my rig, the blue color of the gpu's rgb doesn't work. I installed RGB Fusion 2.0, set the color for the Gigabyte logo to solid blue and it just stays dark. If I set a color that has blue in it, i.e. 255 R/255 G/255 B for white, it will light up yellow. Green and red work just fine, it's only blue that doesn't.

I control it via RGB Fusion 2.0, which seems to be a buggy clusterfuck of a software after searching the web for a while. However, all the reported issues I've found are about the software not starting up probperly, the rgb not working at all or people not being able to change the lighting via the software. I didn't find a single one in hours of research that has an issue similar to mine, where everything works fine except for one color.

So my question is, is this even looking like a software issue or could it be an issue with the gpu itself? Can a single color 'break' in an adressable rgb led implementation, since I don't really know how it works on the hardware side of things? And if it can, is it possible to sometimes work and sometimes not?

Any input on this is greatly appreciated.

Edit: Some system info that might or might not be of importance:

Mobo: ASUS TUF B450-Plus Gaming CPU: R5 3600 RAM: 2x 8gb Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 3600 CL18, 2x Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro dummy kit for the RGB AIO: Corsair Hydro h115i Platinum GPU: Gigabyte 2070 Super Gaming OC Fans: 6x Corsair QL120 RGB Other RGB software: Only Corsair iCue for AIO, RAM and fan control, and RGB Fusion 2.0 for the GPU.

Hey again, I managed to get it to work finally after 3 days of searching!

I just checked the pci cables and all possible cables connected in the GPU and it worked

Give it a try, I hope it works for you too!

I tried that multiple times already, didn't work for me. Glad to hear you got it fixed though and cheers for your advice!

Hey, wondering if you ever found out a fix for this issue?I have the same problem but with the green led

Hey, unfortunately not. I committed to a red/white scheme for my build, which works since it doesn't require any blue lighting.

This is so sad, looks like gigabyte's RGB is a real piece of shit, doesn't even worth a try for a replacement.

Gotta go with a pruple-ish scheme myself, thank for the fast reply!
