RGB Fusion with Digital LEDs
With AORUS Z370 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 Z370 Series 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.

AORUS COOLING
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.

Hybrid Fan Pin Headers & Temperature Sensors
Assume complete control over your liquid cooling setup! Smart Fan 5 receives
up-to-the-second information on flow-rate and water-temperature through the
Hybrid Fan Pin Headers or external thermistor sensorsgiving you absolute mastery
over your PC.
- All Hybrid Fan Headers can automatically detect the type of cooling device
whether it be fan or pump with different PWM or Voltage mode.
- Includes support for one High-Current Pump up to 3 Amps with
built-in overcurrent protectiona must for high-end high current
fans.
AORUS PERFORMANCE
Server-Class Digital Power Design
AORUS Z370 series motherboards use an all digital CPU power design which
includes both digital PWM Controllers and Smart Power Stage controllers.
Intersil is the world leading provider for high performance power IC solutions,
