  Supports RGBW & UV Light Strips

  Independently Programmable Onboard Pin Header for RGBW/UV LED Strips

  Not bright enough? You can install standard 12V external RGB, RGBW or RGB/UV light strips on the RGBW pin header and control its color from the RGB Fusion software. Using a RGBW light strip with a dedicated white LED, users will experience brighter and more vibrant shades of colors.

  RGBW Pin Header Support True White and RGB/UV LED Strips

  RGB/UV Color

  

  RGB/UV light strips can illuminate your PC with a fluorescent glow. With UV reactive cables, paint or liquid your PC can radiate with a luminous glow.

  True White Color

  

  RGBW light strips can produce a pure white color instead of mixing R/G/B to produce an inaccurate white.

  Richer Color

  

  With dedicated white LEDs, light strips can produce a richer and brighter color on the color scale.

  RGB Calibration

  

  Different light strips sometimes have different RGB pin definitions, RGB Fusion software can relocate each pin location for the best compatibility.
