Last night I had a conversation with a guy who destroyed his motherboard and cpu (!?) with OpenRGB. Apparently a few motherboards, if you probe certain addresses, will destroy the PC. He said it was total -- rebooting the pc wouldn't even get bios. Suprised that is even possible. I think OpenRGB mentions some of these edge cases on their page now and takes some effort to block those options. I thought it was interesting that such a failure can happen.
