If you have an ASRock motherboard, you can completely control your lighting effects from within Razer’s Chroma software. The process is simple, and this obliterates one reason for hating ASRock’s Polychrome Sync, which is an already troubled software. Razer Chroma is one of the best RGB control software to exist, alongside Corsair’s iCUE. Thus, this integration opens up a vast array of possibilities for both ASRock and Razer.
How to Sync Polychrome RGB With Razer Synapse
Setting up Razer Chroma for Polychrome RGB is quite simple. To begin with, you would like to make sure whether you have both of this software installed. Follow these links in case you don’t have them:

Razer Synapse: https://www.razer.com/synapse-3
After you have downloaded both of these software, make sure you have added Razer Chroma to Synapse. Then, follow these steps:
- Open up ASRock Polychrome Sync. You will be greeted with a screen like this:
- Head to the Chroma Connect section. The window will look like this:
- Switch the “Chroma Connect” radio button to on.
- Now, open up Razer Synapse. Head to the Connect tab.
- Go to the Devices section. Make sure you have ASRock Polychrome RGB turned on.
- Now you can control all the effects for ASRock Polychrome compliant products from within this software.

Although we made the process look easy, ASRock Polychrome Sync is a bug-ridden software. It causes a lot of problems in controlling the RGBs of your system, and random crashes and frequent updates and system freezes make the experience even worse. If you are an RGB fan, it is best to avoid ASRock. But, we will list a viable fix here.
How to Fix ASRock Polychrome RGB Sync Not Working
To fix ASRock Polychrome RGB Sync from randomly crashing and freezing on your system, follow these steps:
- Exit ASRock Polychrome RGB Sync in case you have it open.
- Head over to C:\Program Files (x86)\ASRock Utility\ASRRGBLED\Bin, and run the “WriteFW.bat” file.
- Let the executable do its thing.
- Relaunch the software. Your RGB LEDs should be working now.
Although ASRock Polychrome RGB Sync is a bit problematic, ASRock motherboards are quite value-for-money. Thus, they still make a great option in the market.
