By integrating with iCUE, you can seamlessly control all your RGB devices from a single, user-friendly interface.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure that you have the following:
- ASUS motherboard with RGB headers
- iCUE software installed on your computer
- RGB LED strips or other compatible devices connected to the motherboard
Step 1: Connect Your Devices
Identify the RGB headers on your ASUS motherboard and connect your RGB LED strips or other devices accordingly. These headers are typically labeled as “RGB” or “AURA Sync.”
Step 2: Install iCUE
Download and install the latest version of iCUE from the Corsair website. Once installed, launch the software and sign in or create an account.
Step 3: Add ASUS Motherboard to iCUE
In the iCUE dashboard, click on the “Devices” tab and then click the “Add Device” button. Select “ASUS Motherboard” from the list of devices.
