RGB Fusion with Digital LEDs Support
With AORUS Motherboards, RGB Fusion is even better with Digital LEDs.* RGB
Fusion offers users the option to control onboard RGB and external RGBW /
Digital LED light strips for their PC. Already feature filled with colors and
patterns, RGB Fusion on AORUS Motherboards are now upgraded with Digital LED
support. With external digital LED strips*, where each LED is digitally
addressable, users can experience even more patterns, styles, and
illuminations.
AORUS Gaming Motherboards will support either 5v or 12v digital LED lighting
strips and up to 300 LED lights. RGB Fusion with Digital LEDs comes with 9 new
patterns and various speed settings with more to come.
Multi-Zone Light Show Design
Now offering more LED customizations than ever, users can truly adapt their
PC to represent their lifestyle. With full RGB support and a redesigned RGB
Fusion application, the user has complete control over the LEDs which surround
the motherboard.
Basic

Surround Lighting
Multi-light zones are equipped with high brightness RGB LEDs, namely
the Memory, PCH, Audio and Swappable Overlay for Accent LED. When it's all set
and done, your system will shine like never before.
Swappable Overlay for Accent LED
AORUS brings even more color and life to your system with an Accent LED
Overlay. This overlay complements the RGB Fusion technology in AORUS
Motherboards adding more flare and style to your gaming machine. With the
swappable overlay users can utilize different patterns and designs to make their
system their own.
Supports RGBW & UV Light Strips
Independently Programmable Onboard Pin Header for RGBW/UV LED Strips
Not bright enough? You can install standard 12V external RGB, RGBW or RGB/UV
light strips on the RGBW pin header and control its color from the RGB Fusion
software. Using a RGBW light strip with a dedicated white LED, users will
experience brighter and more vibrant shades of colors.
When using RGB/UV LED strips, users can give their systems a fluorescent glow
with the use of UV reactive liquid, neon braided cables, and acrylic paint for a
wicked-looking gaming PC.
No need to worry when choosing light strips as AORUS motherboards
support a wide variety of RGBW/-UV light strips on the market thanks to the RGB
Fusion software that allows users to redefine the pin location for the R/G/B
Signal.
RGBW Pin Header Support True White and RGB/UV LED
Strips
RGB/UV Color
RGB/UV light strips can illuminate your PC with a fluorescent glow.
With UV reactive cables, paint or liquid your PC can radiate with a luminous
glow.
True White Color
RGBW light strips can produce a pure white color instead of mixing
R/G/B to produce an inaccurate white.
Richer Color
With dedicated white LEDs, light strips can produce a richer and
brighter color on the color scale.
