CONTROLLING LIGHTING MODES



First Mode: 18 Default Lighting Effects
Please connect the power connector to the PSU and you can short press the RGB SW button to switch the 18 beautiful lighting effects we have preset for you.
Second Mode: Motherboard Synchronization
Please use the included adapter to connect to a compatible motherboard’s 3-pin 5V Addressable RGB header. The light will be automatically controlled by the motherboard synchronization software.
As long as the 3-pin 5V Addressable RGB header is still plugged, every time you restart the PC, it will stay on motherboard synchronization mode.
SWITCH BETWEEN DEFAULT MODE AND MOTHERBOARD SYNCHRONIZATION MODE

Over 6 seconds
If you press and hold the RGB button for over 6 seconds, the lights will flash in white for twice, and the lights will be turned off.
The lighting controller has memory function after REBOOTING.
However, if you press and hold for over 6 seconds and return on the light again, it will only return to the first light mode of default, and it cannot memorize the light effect before it was turned off.
