Load Temperatures
At full load, temperatures reached a high of 83 degrees Celsius, which is what I expected and falls in line with our expectations.
Lighting Effects
Now this is what we’ve been waiting for … the addressable RGB lighting effects. All you need to do is to make sure you plug in the ARGB 3-pin cable to the motherboard’s ARGB 5V header. The RGB lighting effects can be controlled via the motherboard’s software. The unit is compatible with ASUS Aura Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion 2.0, MSI Mystic Light Sync, ASROCK-Polychrome Sync, TT RGB Plus, RAZER CHROMA software.
