Thanks to the RGB Fusion app, you'll have tons of fun customizing your Aorus to your needs. LED enthusiasts now have more options to personalize multiple zones independently. For increased functionality, the bright and vibrant LEDs can be configured to display the PC's temperature or load. For further customization of the LEDs, RGBW light strips are now supported to allow for more authentic and vibrant white tones. Aorus X299 motherboards are equipped with Digital LED.
