Who has the Asus ROG HB BRIDGE here and managed to turn on the RGB lights on it? In 1 month, it only lighted up for 1 day, after a GeForce update... but the next day, it was dead again. SLI is working good with 2 x 1070 ROG OC.

Any advices ?

This could be long shot. . .I haven't heard of it affecting HB bridges but a number of issues have happened with the 381.65 driver. The driver NV put out a couple days ago resolved some of them but not all. What driver did you have when it worked, and what driver do you have now?

I don't have the HB bridge but I do have a 1080ti Strix. I mention this because I had to download the led(Aura) controller for it separately from Asus. You might need to do the same for the bridge. Odds are that the GeForce driver update probably overwrote something on the PC and you need the Asus controller to be installed now.

Even though you said the SLI is working I'd verify the HB bridge is also working properly. The easy way is to go to NV control panel and click on SLI?PhysX settings. I'd also recommend having TechPower GPUz on hand as it too will list the HB if it's functioning properly.

Hello ledhead11, The sli is on, the Main display is on first graphic card, and the phsyx is on the 2nd graphic card. Also, System hardware detects both gpus and during gameplay, both are active at 70-100%. I used LED Visualizer to try to force RGB of the bridge, but it's not responding. I touched it, and nothing (it's supposed to be touchable). I also have Asus Aura, and with it I can change the leds of the GPUs, not the bridges RGB...

Hello ledhead11 ... apparently it was resolved with the latest driver.

Also the RGB is lighting up ONLY when the SLI is activated. If the sli is not activated by default, by the game (application), then the RGB will be off. You have to manually go to nvidia settings and enable the SLI for that specific application. After that the RGB will light up.

This should be mentioned on the box, or anything... but the bridge comes with 0 instructions inside. Also Asus support was pretty useless in helping me with this matter. I had to talk to a tech guy that works for Asus and he explained me the situation.

Glad you were able to get it working. Over the years I've dealt with support from many big brand companies and it can be real hit or miss. At least you eventually got someone who helped. I ended up testing the latest driver on my SLI rigs on the weekend. Thankfully it didn't create any new problems like the one before. I truly feel that NV should just remove the .65 from their download list.
