GIGABYTE RGB Fusion APP
Don't just make your PC shine, make it a work of art that friends will envy.
With the GIGABYTE RGB Fusion mobile app users can watch as they control the
lighting within their gaming PC. This gives users ease of access as they try and
adjust colors and speeds for different modes, all this can be done away from the
keyboard and monitor of their PC.
Surround Lighting
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.
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.

RGB Fusion (Advanced mode)
With the all new RGB Fusion software, users have access to different preset
LED lighting configurations with choice of colors. You can even set the LEDs to
synchronize with your favorite music or have them change colors to indicate the
CPU temperature.
For true lighting experts there is an Advanced Mode, which can be fully
customized by individual area with its own effects and color transitions, along
with specific duration and transition times.
Once done, it’s simple to save and share your lighting profile with
others.

Smart Fan 5
With Smart Fan 5 users can ensure that their gaming PC can maintain its
performance while staying cool. Smart Fan 5 allows users to interchange their
fan headers to reflect different thermal sensors at different locations on the
motherboard. Not only that, with Smart Fan 5 more hybrid fan headers that
support both PWM and Voltage mode fans have been introduced to make the
motherboard more liquid cooling friendly.
All Hybrid Fan Pin Headers
- All Hybrid Fan Headers can automatically detect the type of cooling device
whether it be fan or pump with different PWM or Voltage mode.
- Supports up to 2 amps with built-in overcurrent protection—a must for
high-end high current fans.

New Smart Fan 5 Software
Choose from different modes, Quiet to Full Speed, to match your system usage
scenario. For each fan or pump, you can use the intuitive fan curve to define
trigger thresholds and corresponding fan speeds.
Interoperable Sensors and Fans
Each fan can be customized to operate at different speeds according to any
defined temperature source input (except the CPU fan).
Fan Curve
Customize fan curves based on specific temperatures with the intuitive
graphical UI.
Enhanced BIOS Interface
The enhanced BIOS interface also has the advanced features seen in the Smart
Fan 5 UI, such as: the ability to set triggers based on different temperature
sensors on the board, fan curve definition and the temperature interval setting,
which can prevent fan rotation noise caused by sudden temperature change—all
without having to load Windows.

Support for DDR4 XMP Up to 4266MHz and Beyond
GIGABYTE is offering a tested and proven platform that ensures proper
compatibility with profiles up to 4266MHz and beyond. All users need to do to
attain this performance boost is to ensure that their memory module is XMP
capable and that the XMP function is activated and enabled on their GIGABYTE
motherboard.
![](/images/extra/44/P442803-i32.png)
What is XMP?
DDR4 memory modules are available at a stock frequency of 2133MHz, but as
frequency tweaking requires a considerable amount of effort and knowledge,
memory vendors encode XMP profiles which can automatically modify the timings of
the supported memory modules to work with your CPU and to achieve increased
performance.
