Goodbye AURA RGB

ASUS brings Dynamic Lighting support to its motherboards.

Last year Microsoft has announced a new feature for Windows 11 dedicated to gaming peripherals. These products are often overloaded with RGB lighting, forcing gamers to either use a dedicated system to keep everything synchronized or rely on third-party software, which isn’t always compatible with all devices.

Windows Dynamic Lighting is a new option within the personalization settings integrated into the operating system. It allows users to change or synchronize lighting between multiple devices, provided they are supported by the manufacturers. ASUS, for instance, already supports this feature for headphones and laptops and has recently extended support to its motherboards.

According to Benchlife, ASUS motherboards with AMD 600 and Intel 700 chipsets now support this feature. Users can enable or disable it in the BIOS under the LED Lighting tab. It’s unclear if the option is enabled by default. They confirm it is supported by ROG STRIX Z790-E GAMING WIFI:

While Windows Dynamic Lighting is currently less advanced than official tools, which often utilize ARGB setups or lighting effects synchronized with system operations (like temperature and clock speed), its adoption could grow. If more companies support this feature, Microsoft may enhance its functionality. ASRock, as an example, enabled support for Dynamic Lighting already in December (just 3 months after Microsoft made this feature public).
