MSI Announces MSI PortalX, Upcoming RGB Control Website

[GFreeman]

MSI is committed to continuously enhancing the user experience, and we are proud to announce the upcoming launch of our new web-based RGB control platform - MSI PortalX. This platform eliminates the need for software installation - simply access it through your browser to easily manage your devices' RGB lighting effects, offering a more flexible lighting control experience.

When you connect to MSI PortalX and enter RGB Center (supported on Windows systems only), the platform automatically detects all MSI devices in your system. Just select a device, and you can freely customize the RGB lighting effects for each port, including brightness and speed, with three adjustable speed levels to choose from. To enhance usability, we've also provided an All Sync button, allowing you to synchronize the lighting effects of all devices with a single click, without the need for individual adjustments.



We understand that many users desire a more intuitive way to adjust lighting effects during the design process. Therefore, MSI PortalX focuses on providing a simple and fast user interface, making it easy to individually configure lighting effects or synchronize them as a whole. This streamlined approach allows you to effortlessly realize your RGB lighting ideas while enjoying a more seamless experience. Stay tuned for the launch of MSI PortalX and be the first to experience the next level of RGB control!

On the one hand - it’s not bloat. On the other - tied to a central server with no guarantee of its life expectancy. Probably will require an account too. No idea why everyone can’t just do things via the Dynamic Lighting system in Windows, that’s why MS added it in the first place.

gigabyte, msi, ASUS, Asrock, NZXT. Every of those am5 mainboard makers give me a big pile of reason to not replace my existing ASUS mainboard with lots of firmware bugs since day one.

When you connect to MSI PortalX and enter RGB Center (supported on Windows systems only),

I consider a webbrowser also as bloatware for 200MB or bigger. I do not have much use for a webbrowser on my notebook. A webbrowser is a big package which is "additional" / "extra software" which have regardless of g-e / v_i / M_e / f_x at least one update per week.

This platform eliminates the need for software installation

... but introduces another layer of problems and another layer of configuration issues.

Watching review of Fractal's new case on Level1Techs, Wendel pointed out how the new RGB controller works and ideally having a controller connected via USB and using USB-serial interface with webinterface locally should be the way to go forward in getting rid of the bloat and malwares that is RGB software.

It's also a great way for someone to potentially get access to your PC, as knowing how "good" these Taiwanese companies are at making software and making sure it's secure, I'd put zero trust in these things.

Does it also do AIO's, GPUs, and motherboards? Or just fans?
