RGB Controller
pcAn RGB controller is a device used to manage the illumination settings of RGB LED systems in computer hardware.
expanded
RGB controllers are utilized in personal computers to adjust the color and brightness of RGB LED components such as fans, strips, and cooling systems, which enhances the computer's visual aesthetics. They allow users to select specific colors through interfaces or software, often in combination with motherboard RGB headers, ensuring synchronization across multiple devices. The functionality of RGB controllers includes the ability to control the intensity and color sequence of RGB LEDs to meet user-defined profiles or modes, often via PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) or serial protocols like I2C.
examples
A specific implementation of RGB controller in Corsair iCUE LS100 Smart Lighting Strip.
This is commonly used to provide ambient lighting effects that synchronize with on-screen gaming or multimedia content. These controllers can manage up to six RGB channels, with each strip providing 27 lumens per LED.
Use of ASUS Aura Sync RGB controllers to manage RGB lighting on a PC motherboard and connected peripherals.
This is commonly implemented during the assembly of custom gaming PCs to synchronize the lighting of motherboards, graphics cards, RAM, and cases. It supports 60 RGB LEDs per meter and can manage RGB headers on motherboards, allowing control via dedicated software.
