Led control on Asus z170 pro gaming aura

[richard_176]

I bought an Asus z170 pro gaming aura and it said you can change led affects. There might be the software on the CD but I have no CD ROM.
I tried aura control but I want control for every light on the motherboard including audio strip and the 5 LEDs under the name. Can anyone give me a link that will allow me to do that thank you.

I have the same motherboard and from what I've gathered you can't control those LED's. It seems that is something Asus overlooked. I was disappointed.

 

[jpe1701]

To clarify I'm talking about the audio and Name LED's.

 

[richard_176]

There are videos on YouTube showing all LEDs plus I want to turn the name LEDs on because they are off on my motherboard

 

[jpe1701]

I've been doing some digging to try and figure it out. The manual says that the audio led's are only red. It says you can control them through Ai suite 3 but I couldn't find any led controls there but it also said you could control them from the bios and I found that. It was under advanced>Onboard devices configuration >supremefx led lighting. I couldn't find the other one anywhere and looking at mine I don't see any leds near the name through the window and they're not referenced in the manual, are you sure there are leds there?

What bios do you have?
If you look close under the name you will see 4 it 5 LEDs that can blink , turned on or off

Pages 1-28 and 1-29 in the manual.

Bios 2003. Thanks I never noticed those. I still can't find how to use them though. Nigel I checked those pages out, the audio led's were on page 1-26, page 1-28 was a blank page for notes and 1-29 was about the ez-update utility. I used the manual from the Asus website.

 

[Nigel Spike]

There seems to be more than one version. I found it at my first Google search yesterday. I have managed to find it today, but whenever I paste the link, it seems to change to a version with those pages blanked. I'll try to get the info, hang on.

Thank you Nigel.

 

[Nigel Spike]

Finally, here is a link to the manual I saw : http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1151/Z170-PRO-GAMING/E10719_Z170_PRO_GAMING_UM_V2_WEB.pdf

I hope it helps

This is the same manual I got with my motherboard. The only problem is that AI suite 3 or
the bios have no control for the model name lights.
Thanks to jpe1701 I found the supreme fx led.

 

[Nigel Spike]

Sorry I can't help anymore, I don't even have this mobo.

Thank you for trying nigel

So I tried going to the Asus product page for the original Z170 pro gaming and I downloaded an earlier version of AI suite 3 that had the LED control app but it didn't work. I just kept getting an error message whenever I launched the app.

 

[jpe1701]

I emailed Asus. Let's see what they say.

 

[jpe1701]

I received an initial response from an Asus tech saying he is looking into it. Took long enough.

 

[jpe1701]

So that was absolutely no help. This is what I got.

It had a link to the Aura software and a picture of the software open with an arrow pointing to the ROG symbol and it said ROG and that was the control for the LED but when I downloaded the new version it didn't have the control. They say that my board doesn't support it.
