- 3 Addressable Gen 2 headers for Aura Sync RGB lighting
Aura Sync Addressable RGB Lighting
Three onboard Addressable Gen 2 headers let RGB strips and compatible components be synced through Aura Sync, so lighting across the case can follow one theme instead of running as separate, mismatched effects.
- Choose a Ryzen 5000 Series processor to unlock the PCIe 4.0 x16 graphics slot and the PCIe 4.0 M.2 slot.
- Install two DDR4 modules for dual-channel memory up to 64GB.
- Fit a PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD in the first M.2 slot and a second drive in the PCIe 3.0 M.2 slot.
- Connect RGB strips to the Addressable Gen 2 headers and control them with Aura Sync.
