RGB Control Guide: How to Change RGB Lighting on Your PC

You can change RGB lighting on your Sirius Power PC through your motherboard's RGB app or a third-party program like SignalRGB. Sirius PCs use software control, not a case button. This guide covers every method, plus how to turn lighting off completely. Every RGB component in a Sirius Power PC — case fans, RAM, and the motherboard itself — connects to the motherboard. That single connection point is why one app can control your entire system's lighting.

How Sirius PCs Control RGB Lighting

Sirius Power PC controls RGB lighting entirely through the motherboard manufacturer’s dedicated app. Some PCs use a physical case button or reset-style switch for lighting control. Sirius builds do not use this method — every system ships with software control instead.

The app you need depends on your motherboard brand. The next section shows you how to find it and use it.

How to Change RGB Using Your Motherboard App

Find your motherboard brand before you download anything. Press Windows + R, type msinfo32, and press Enter. Look for “BaseBoard Manufacturer” in the System Summary. That name tells you which app to use.

Armoury Crate (ASUS)

Armoury Crate controls RGB lighting on ASUS motherboards, graphics cards, and compatible peripherals. Open Armoury Crate, select Aura Sync from the sidebar, then choose a device to customize its color, effect, and brightness. Aura Sync lets you apply one effect across every connected ASUS component at once.

MSI Center (Mystic Light)

Mystic Light is the RGB module inside MSI Center. Open MSI Center, go to the Mystic Light tab, and select a device from the list. Choose a lighting effect, set the color, and apply it. MSI Center also lets you sync lighting across all detected MSI components from one screen.

RGB Fusion (Gigabyte)

RGB Fusion 2.0 controls lighting on Gigabyte motherboards and compatible components. Open RGB Fusion, select a zone or device, then pick a color and effect from the panel. Gigabyte's app groups zones by physical location on the board, so you can light different areas differently.

Polychrome RGB (ASRock)

Polychrome RGB manages lighting on ASRock motherboards and supports add-in cards. Open the app, select a connected device, and choose from its built-in effect list. Polychrome RGB syncs across ASRock-branded components automatically once each device is detected.

If you know what specific problem your PC is having — no power, no display signal, or crashing during a game — find it below for a more exact fix.

How to Change RGB Using Third-Party Software

SignalRGB controls RGB lighting across mixed-brand components from one app. It works when your system combines parts from different manufacturers — for example, an ASUS motherboard with Corsair RAM or a Gigabyte graphics card — that don’t sync through a single vendor app.

Download SignalRGB from its official website, install it, and let it scan your system. Confirmed devices appear in a layout you can arrange to match your case. Select a device, choose an effect, and apply it the same way you would in a motherboard app.

How to Sync RGB Lighting Across Your PC

Most motherboard apps sync every detected component under one effect automatically. Open your app, select “Sync All” or the equivalent option, then choose one color or effect to apply everywhere. Components that don’t sync automatically — a keyboard or mouse from a different brand, for instance — usually need SignalRGB or a similar universal tool instead.

How to Turn Off RGB on Your PC

Open your motherboard app, select each device, and set its effect to “Static” or “Off,” then set brightness to zero. Most apps also include a single toggle that disables all connected lighting at once.

Why Does My RGB Stay On When My PC Is Off?

RGB lighting can stay on after shutdown because the motherboard still receives standby power. This is controlled by a BIOS setting, usually labeled “RGB LED Lighting” or listed under ErP (Energy-related Products) settings. Disable it in BIOS if you want lighting to turn off completely with the system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can You Control PC RGB Without Software?

Some PCs use a physical case button or motherboard header switch to control RGB without software. Sirius Power PC builds do not use this method — every system is controlled entirely through your motherboard’s app or SignalRGB.
RGB lighting has a negligible effect on gaming performance in normal use. For a full breakdown of RGB and system performance, see our Custom RGB Gaming PC guide.
Standby power keeps RGB lighting active after shutdown. Disable this in BIOS under the RGB LED Lighting or ErP setting to turn lighting off completely with the system.
Running both at once can cause conflicts, since each tries to control the same devices. Use one app at a time for stable lighting control.
