Razer Viper Ultimate

[Legacy-ZA]

Of all Razer processes, Chroma SDK service is actually the least intensive process (used by external games/apps to take control of your device lighting). It shouldn't take 32% even on a Celeron-level CPU. I wonder if something on Win 10 enterprise (that you have noted as your OS) or another installed software is conflicting with the service.

It's not the OS, I was on Windows 7 x64 Ultimate before Windows 10 Enterprise, it's the same story. It doesn't matter if I do a clean installation or what drivers I use, I even updated the firmware, removed my sound card, uninstalled other software, disabled startup items systematically and more. All I can say, I am stumped to what it could be and that Razer Synapse is shit.

Can you elaborate between No Synapse usage.

There is another youtuber who reviewed the Viper Ultimate who said "Reguardless of the lighting effect I choose, Unless I have Synapse open it will do the random rainbow effect"

This is correct. I still have a Chroma profile enabled on the mouse, but the brightness is at 0%, which is effectively the off state. It isn't the Chroma RGB settings getting stored on-board, but the brightness setting.
