Lighting & Software
When you install your memory and power on your system the modules will instantly light up! There is nothing to install, connect, or switch on, the modules just work. By default the modules are in a rainbow mode, where there modules change color down each module creating a really cool effect.
The diffuser on the top of the modules work really well and the top bar looks like a single light. Now when you start your PC the rainbow effect will be synced by all four modules, but over time they do get off-sync. They also happened with the G.Skill Trident Z RGB kit we reviewed. Now if you do not have an ASUS motherboard with Aura Sync this is the only effect you are going to get.
Now if you have an ASUS motherboard with Aura Sync you have many more options. Download Aura Sync and when you open it, it will recognize the memory kit and you can customize different effects, the color, and even brightness.
On top of that if your ASUS motherboard has RGB LEDs on it they will match up with the RGB LEDs on the memory.
