If you have an RGB CPU cooler or AiO liquid cooling system, they will need to be plugged into the header, and full instructions are always supplied. RGB memory uses System Management Bus (SMBus) for communication and customisation, and simply requires BIOS support on the motherboard. For example, your RGM memory will not need to hook anything up to the motherboard, other than slotting in your memory modules as usual. Some components are controlled without the need to plug in any fiddly plugs. Motherboard software such as Gigabyte RGB Fusion, ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light and Corsair iCUE are all very well-known, and will work with RAM, RGB LED strip-lights, fan case RGB lighting and CPU cooler RGB lighting amongst others. The 'A' in ARGB stands for Addressable, and that means you'll be able to control more elements in your RGB setup. Ideally you will need a motherboard or case that supports ARGB. For those of us with generic RGB lighting and ARGB capable motherboards, we've included a short guide for festive Christmas lighting, too! If you use Corsair, ASUS or MSI RGB software, this process is simple enough, and there's even light themes you can download. Once you've finished with your festive tree and house decorations there's only one thing left to light up this Christmas - your RGB PC.
