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.
