Asus is adding RGB Windows Dynamic Lighting support to its latest motherboards

Asus is readying to enactment Microsoft’s caller Dynamic Lighting diagnostic that allows Windows 11 users to power a motherboard’s RGB lighting without needing a abstracted app. Asus has started investigating caller beta BIOS updates for some of its AMD 600 and Intel 700 bid motherboards that see the Dynamic Lighting support.

Microsoft added Dynamic Lighting to Windows 11 successful September, providing autochthonal RGB lighting controls wrong Windows for the precise archetypal time. The diagnostic lets users power RGB lights utilizing the unfastened HID LampArray standard, and manufacturers similar Acer, Asus, HP, HyperX, Logitech, Razer, and Twinkly person each partnered with Microsoft to enactment this.

The Dynamic Lighting enactment connected Asus’ latest motherboards requires a BIOS update that should beryllium disposable successful the coming weeks. A beta mentation is disposable close present from Asus’ forums for AMD and Intel boards, but I wouldn’t urge flashing a beta BIOS unless you’re blessed to reconstruct an older BIOS mentation if you tally into bugs.

Once your Asus committee supports Dynamic Lighting you tin past negociate the brightness, colors, and effects successful the Settings conception of Windows 11. The lighting controls are reasonably basal close now, but astatine slightest you tin debar Asus’ Armory Crate instrumentality and usage autochthonal RGB controls successful Windows. This besides means you don’t person to usage third-party RGB controller software like OpenRGB either, unless you request the other functionality it provides.

The Intel Z790 beta BIOS updates adjacent see the microcode update that should assistance with immoderate of Intel’s crippled crashing issues.
