    OK. I have tried modprobe i2c-dev but it does nothing.

      If you mean there is no return in the terminal, this is normal. I know, it is counterintuitive, but it is like that. No return => module loaded

        You also need to load the i2c driver for your motherboard. i2c-dev is the framework for accessing i2c from userspace but does not provide the actual hardware interface. This is provided by another module. For Intel boards, this is i2c-i801. For AMD, this is i2c-piix4.

        It doesn’t hurt to load both.

        sudo modprobe i2c-piix4

        sudo modprobe i2c-i801

          Good to know. Strangely enough i2c-dev seem to be enough to detect my RAM, without loading i2c-piix4 (Asus Dark Hero). Those were the only devices not detected without i2c.

            It’s possible that i2c-piix4 is already being loaded for some reason or that the driver is compiled into your kernel rather than as a module. Kernel configurations vary across distros. Glad it’s working either way!

        OK! 👍 Thank you for explanations. But even if it is loaded, OpenRGB still says that it is not.

                Oh… in a voice channel… Sorry but english is not my native language (french) and I’m afraid we won’t understand each other very well. Thank you anyway for your help.
