Lighting on the Lexar ARES RGB DDR5-7200 32GB Memory Kit
At the top of each module we do have RGB lighting. The diffuser does a nice job of making it look like we just have a single bar of light. While Lexar does offer their own RGB software (Lexar RGB Sync) the ARES RGB DDR5 modules are also compatible with all major motherboard RGB software. We had no issues getting it to work with ASUS’s Aura Sync.
