Lighting Control

The Lighting Control applet controls the active state of the RGB LED embedded in to the board's heat sink. The LED can be configured for any desired color using the color picker control and to operate in a variety of modes including pulsing, strobing, and a breathing effect. Further, the applet has an embedded preview panel, so that you can determine the look and effect that best suites your system build.

USB 3.1 Boost

The USB 3.1 Boost applet enables USB 3.1 devices attached to the USB 3.1 ports to perform in enhanced speed modes – Turbo mode for non-UASP capable devices and UASP mode for UASP-capable devices. Both modes offer increased performance over stock operating mode by enabling burst-mode style data transfer over the USB 3.1 data channels.
