The infamous Asus Aura Sync is a popular RGB system that has faced issues with Windows update software solutions. However, MSI Mystic Light, a similar tool, seems slightly better than RGB Fusion but is still functional and clunky. It is necessary for the motherboard and Asus Aura to change the lighting on the GPU. Both are excellent and provide everything needed, but the choice between MSI Mystic Light (Dragon Center) and ASUS Aura (Armoury Create) is difficult.
The current RGB landscape allows multiple standards in one computer, such as Gigabyte Fusion, Corsair iCue, Logitech G Lightsync, ASUS Aura, and MSI. However, the limited functions of Mystic Light compared to other brands, such as no gradient option, make it a less viable option.
In terms of motherboard and RAM models, the “AURA vs Mystic Light” debate is a major factor. Compared to competing tools like Corsair’s iCUE or ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light provides superior RGB synchronization capabilities across MSI and non-MSI devices. However, the lack of component support makes it less viable.
In summary, MSI Mystic Lighting is a stable RGB system that does a good job but takes up moderate resources. It is similar to other RGB systems like Asus Aura, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, and Asrock RGB LED. The Aura Sync utility allows users to control various components from other manufacturers.

What is Aura Sync on ASUS?
ASUS AURA provides two distinct types of RGB lighting effects: ASUS AURA RGB, which can be utilized both on-board and externally, and ASUS AURA SYNC, which facilitates the synchronization of RGB lighting effects across all compliant devices. The nomenclature, “Aura RGB” or “Aura Sync,” may prove confusing for those seeking to connect the RGB light strip to the mainboard and control it through software.
Why is mystic light not working?
Mystic Light issues may be attributed to the absence or malfunction of device drivers. To guarantee optimal functionality of ambient lighting, it is essential to ensure the presence of updated drivers and compatible hardware. These can be installed manually from the official website.
What is mystic light in other devices?
Mystic Light (mobile) is a mobile application that is connected to a Wi-Fi network. It allows users to control the LED effects on their motherboard and to connect their mobile device to the desktop program.
Do I need an MSI motherboard to use mystic light?
MSI Mystic Light SYNC is an open software development kit (SDK) for personal computer (PC) components and peripherals. It enables users to control the color and effect of compatible products through a single application. In order to utilize the MSI Mystic Light SYNC functionality, a motherboard that is compatible with the SYNC standard and equipped with JRGB, JRainbow, or Jcorsair headers is necessary.
Can I delete aura?
Aura accounts are created when users create their frame for the first time or receive an invite to contribute. Users can delete their account, which will erase any uploaded photos or videos, unsubscribe from newsletters, and stop collecting analytics data. Most collected data will be automatically erased within 30 days. This allows users to maintain their Aura account and enjoy the benefits of their contributions.
Is Aura RGB the same as ARGB?
RGB and ARGB are incompatible due to their control channels. RGB connections regulate color through three channels (“R”, “G”, and “B”), while ARGB connections only use one channel (“Data”). RGB lighting, like the Dark Base 700, requires an RGB header, while modern ARGB fans like the Light Wings require an ARGB header. ARGB technology may prevail in the high-end sector due to its versatility, despite higher production costs.
For true RGB enthusiasts, it is possible to combine two ARGB fans to an ARGB header using an adapter cable, but the output power must be closely monitored to avoid overloading and damage. The ARGB hub provides a solution, as the distributor in each Triple Pack of Light Wings has an ARGB input and six outputs. This allows for the connection of the Pure Base 500DX and Silent Loop 2 lighting to the hub.
The PC shines in the light setting defined by the controller or mainboard software, as the connection is established via a header on the mainboard, resulting in a predefined comet or rainbow effect on all connected components.
Are NZXT fans compatible with Mystic Light?
The RGB fans cannot be controlled via motherboard software like gigabyte’s RGB Fusion, ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, and ASRock’s Polychrome. They are only compatible with NZXT’s Cam Software. The AER RGB Fans can only be connected to HUE 2 or RGB and Fan controller devices and cannot be controlled via the motherboard RGB header and its accompanying software. The fans cannot be connected directly into the x570 AORUS Elite.
Who owns MSI?

Thank you for watching one of my Youtube shorts. If you enjoyed, full length videos are coming real soon! So don’t forget to …
When I built my PC after 20 years since the last time, I built a ZERO RGB one, or as much as possible. It was COVID and as such, had to go with some parts that were readily available, like the GPU and Power Supply has RGB, but you never see the Power Supply’s and the PNY 3090 I got can turn that off. THOUGH, it is where I learned there’s a NON-RGB premium. Similar to Non-Smart Appliance premium nowadays.
They don’t need to make the LEDs the same. They just need some way for them to be calibrated, and then ideally have a color profile built in–or even just a calibration code. I even run into the problem with a first party app on my smart light bulbs. The colors in the app don’t match the bulbs, and changing the hue is not consistent at different brightness and saturation levels. If I had an app that would let me calibrate it, having me choose colors and then adjust until the color on screen was closest, this could be perfectly in sync. Heck, even let people share profiles, ala Steam controller configs.
heres an example. Corsair AF120’s come in a white rgb version. the more expensive Corsair LL120 have addressable rgb. and the vengeance ddr4 ram is also addressable. the more expensive fan cant make the same white as the RAM and the cheaper AF120. speaking of different LED’s of different brands, some brands in this case dont even use the same LED’s between products.
It is funny how much I used to love RGB in my computer. I mean, I won’t go out of my way to avoid it or anything but I just havent really sought it out either with my last build. Fun to see how trends, and my own likes, change over time. That being said, I am still using my keyboard that has the ability to change the lighting for each key.
The worst part about having different RGB products is that the software all too often fights each other. Not to mention the stupidly incompatible connectors on things. Currently RGB is kind of like the batteries in cordless tools. Internally they’re all the same, they all work the same and there is no real reason why they aren’t universally compatible. The only reason they aren’t is because the connector bits are purposely made different just to inconvenience the consumer. So after a while I kinda gave up. I left the homebrew software for my RAM RGB and removed all the Razor etc crap. Got an Aquacomputer Farbwerk and just connected everything into that. I now have an RGB controller that only needs software when I want to adjust something and that does everything else on it’s own.
ive got parts from razer, asus, gskill, lianli in my pc. was a nightmare having all the individual software suites for each manufacturer, so im at least mildly content with signalrgb taking control. just had a look at the microsoft dynamic lighting and unfortunately appears none of my components support it. could free up so much system resources if i could just set all devices to a solid colour matching my windows accent colour which is basically what ive manually set in signalrgb anyway.
I just use open rgb and Artemis together to control all my lighting through “one” program, you just have a server running with open rgb then everything is controlled through Artemis. I would be open to trying it if it is an option for windows 10 users but I’m not upgrading to windows 11 just for lighting control I already have at my fingertips in a pretty unobtrusive way.
the irony is, the dynamic lighting “feature” they put in has actually broken my RGB. i’ve turned the setting off in the settings and with regedit. dyanmic lighting STILL has control over my RGB. it’ll either change my set colour to rainbow puke or completely disable the RGB. and whenever i do have dynamic lighting turned on it still does the same things i’ve stated above. dynamic lighting is horrible.
Personally I look at my screens & not my RAM/Fans/MOBO/GPU cables/waterblocks/distro blocks/PSU/shiny keys/etc. I really don’t care about fan speeds/gal per hour & what ever else their trying to sell me.. It’s just more stupid frustrations that are unnecessary in my “workflow”. My rig runs cool & fast even if it’s in a dark box…
So out of all the RGB devices in my rig, only my Razer Huntsman keyboard is compatible with dynamic lighting and the options available for it is trash. I’d rather stick with the software that is designed to be configurable to how I like it, rather than have Windows not give me any form of customization other than what TYPE of lighting I want.
Hmm. What if there is a new customizable console that holds all the data needed plus extensions to hold all of the games from all generations before while still having enough room to add more games to the console with a console you can actually create games in? A secondary console that you can add attachments to and even a playable screen or multiple screens for co-op multiplayer gameplay like on the Wii U, but way better? While also having online capabilities on both consoles that allows people to play online multiplayer on their own screen on the same console while having the options to switch compatibility between consoles? 2 consoles so powerful that they co-mingle can store a lot of data, can have more data added to each console and can host servers when connected to more consoles than one. I think it can actually be possible with open source a customary motherboard, gpu, cpu, kernel, OS and a kit for people to make their own mods how ever they like. That can be a money maker.
The 5 apps to control the lighting is painfully true. Need a seperate app just to change the color of a tiny gigabyte logo on my gpu. Then you have aida64 for the sensor panel, msi afterburner to stop the gpu fans constantly coming on and off at idle, razer synapse because the naga trinity 12 keypad is the best mouse ever made. Im at 24% ram usage at idle already.
Why can’t we buy non-ricey hardware without having to shell out for enterprise gear? Normal green FR4 boards. No lighting. Bare aluminum and normal shaped heat sinks. No stupid cable sleeving. Stamped galvanized sheet metal cases. Sleeves make no sense. They used to be combing multiple wires into one round cable. Now they’re just to make wires look like fabric, and it actually makes them fatter. Optical drives.
Most likely only new or recently released hardware will support this, though, and even then it may not support it fully. Like Razer did add DynamicLighting support to Basilisk V3 Pro, but… Not unless you use Bluetooth with reasoning “at the moment we cannot provide good latency with it enabled for Bluetooth” (copied from a ticket I had with them, and it was a pain to even get them to admit that this limitation exists). Which is likely not true, or at least half true.
For all those people who’s G-hub software has been bricked because you’re “sailing the seas” with windows, and the dynamic lighting function has removed your ability to control your rgb lighting; go back to g-hub 23.1. This version doesn’t support dynamic lighting and will allow you to continue controlling your lights.
They’re really not though. I’ve had mouse and keyboard and a couple other things that interface with windows dynamic lighting since it came out in like 2022. It gives you 6 of the most generic preset options ever – Solid Color, Breathing, Rainbow, Wave, Wheel, Gradient. That’s it. No custom animations, no music mode or ambient mode or reactive mode, just the 6 most basic patterns in RGB animation and that’s it. It’ll also shut off aura sync for that device. So in reality what Microsoft has done, is just add yet another conflicting piece of RGB software. I gotta do all sorts of tomfoolery to get Aurasync to work with WDL in the mix. It just takes over the device and offers absolutely nothing in the way of RGB animation patterns or custom pattern designs. It also doesn’t interface with a single game’s built in RGB functionality. Not only that, but WDL has existed for ages and requires specific support by the hardware manufacturer.. and it hasn’t been seeing adoption. You won’t just get WDL that retroactively works on an old RGB keyboard. The device has to be new, and built with WDL support.. and why would they even do that? All of this R&D into every company’s custom RGB software, they’re not going to just abandon their various sdks related to RGB animations all to replace it with the worst RGB software ever made. My advice? Get rid of iCue, get rid of Aura Sync, disable WDL, install SignalRGB and be done with it.
Considering Microsofts track record of how they implement new standards we are going to have a lot of RGB devices in a couple of years that have no ability to control considering that even older Win10 devices no longer have the ability to use third party trackpad settings because they are not part of the “windows precision touchpad” ecosystem and therefore locked out completely, because the precision setting are apparently hard-coded in the OS-subsystem and if they are not precision compatible you have no ability to change any setting on sensitivity or even enable/disable tap to click, even if the device was sold in the early stage of Win10.
Except that a lot of RGB software does a lot more then just control rgb, it also let’s you settings for whatever device the rgb software is for, which means the shitty RGB software still required if you want to do things like changing DPI profiles on mouses, changing polling rate, configuring extra buttons on mouse keyboards, … I don’t actually even care about RGB settings, I care more about configuring extra buttons and stuff.
I can honestly say that the absolute horrid software MSI forces on you with its motherboards, has convinced me NEVER to purchase another MSI board. I spend over 6 house manually hacking their RGB malware so my computer wouldn’t flash Pink Blue and white at me in a seizure inducing strobe effect after a forced update completely borked the rgb controller.
Microsoft is making a history here. They should also provide open source standard for manufacturers so they can implement it in thier drivers and some certification process so you know you are buying hardware that RGB does not suck. They should do the same with hardware sensors and fan controling as this is the same mess.
I just need a tiny app or setting in Windows to block my collectible Cyberpunk Razer mouse from auto-running that bloatware, would be nice if it regulated the charging dock to show battery life as said bloatware does, I don’t care for any of the lights on the mouse as it’s literally under my palm and wastes battery life…and it’s distracting if blinky blinky all over the place. *Don’t come at me with “Bro, don’t buy Razor shit products 🙄 amateur hour” because I don’t care.
no wonder one of my fans RGB started smoking because of Windows Dynamic lightning so I had to get a new set and a new RGB hub because of that thanks Windows for making one of my fans almost catch fire and all of my fans, ram and AIO is pure corsair and my motherboard is Asus and my GPU is the Aorus 4080 that I didn’t know that it had a screen on it at all till when I got it
I tried it on my Asrock B550M Steel Legend (using the firmware from a different board because they abandoned B550 boards), and it seems like the Windows 11 RGB stuff forgets the color settings when the screen is locked. It also tended to repeatedly blink a bit of the default color pattern before Windows 11 overwrites it. I had to flash back to stock, but now I have the wrong motherboard’s RGB controller firmware on it. I asked their support what firmware file to flash to get the correct firmware, and they said: oh, just send in the motherboard for replacement. That sounds like a pain, why not just tell me what command to run to flash it back?
I have a bunch of RGB but honestly if I built another PC I would do as much without as I could. Except the keyboard because a non illuminated keyboard is useless, I dont game in a brightly lit office. but I am fine with a static color, even my K100 is set to a static color in both iCUE and its “hardware mode”(hardware mode is what color it does if the software is not available, Means no unicorn diarrhea before I am logged into windows).
2014 linus with rgb keyboard looks like 80s computer show hosts. well if you control rgb with vga/hdmi/displayport then you have all the resolution for actual displays. yes put your rgb as displays, maybe like 1d display, say 512×1 array or top line of the display. maybe mini/micro hdmi/displayport/usb-c as display out. meh, drivers (compat layer) are the most simplest solution for now, to get rgb stuff to support the lamparray stuff. yes rgb device drivers. until they natively support the lamparray api. well measure the color accuracy of the usb LED display.
Yeah I’ve consistently found that windows dynamic lighting does not work atleast not on my Asus Strix X470, X570, X670E mobo’s changing any of the setting in it do absolutely nothing it just continues to throw RGB rainbow puke at me every time it also has absolutely no effect on my Logitech G915 RGB keyboard or mouse or the GSkil trident Z5 DDR6000 ram I have so it’s pretty much a giant waste of time but what MS should be doing is actually making sure that the software used to control various RGB on cases and Keyboards/mice should actually work as intended with the like of signed drivers just like they do with GPU drivers
Although I think that following a standard is always good, what I really wish is to have options to avoid lightning at all, not by software, but by hardware. I know there is buyers willing to have RGB whatever thingy, but I am sure that without those LED’s any peripheal will be cheaper. I have no other option but to swallow those LED’s even if I am not using it, since high-end peripheals and components tend to have them as standard.
Ok but… how do you connect different outside-of-PC lights to synch up with music like ROG AuraSync or Logitech Lightsync so it’s synched to what’s playing on the PC instead of being reliant on you blasting music in the room? Asking because I spent 99% of my time on PC with headset on. I already have logi lightsync keyboard and ROG chakram mouse and logi lightsync headset… But I can’t find anything on outside-of-PC RGB lights that’d work the same…?
When Logitech tried to use the Windows Dynamic Lighting last month it was an absolute disaster. It totally messed up keyboard lighting for me on my G915. The keyboard lights would just randomly flicker and switch off because, I assume, GHUB and Windows were fighting over who gets to control it, but none of them actually did. And disabling Dynamic Lighting didn’t solve the problem, I and many others had to disable all the lighting crap in Services to get back to normal.
Has ltt done try to do effect x with rgb or the all rgb pc vids yet? Or even a “best rgb” components build while Linus cringe because the parts aren’t good. I got signal rgb to try to reign in my rgb but I had gotten a good deal on lian li fans and their controller can’t handle quick effects with more than 1 fan (except for their presets)
Oh boy! Another Windows product that’s going to kill market innovation and work worse than every single product it’s supposed to replace. I miss the old Corsair Utility Engine. iCUE sucks ass. I miss downloading horribly complex profiles from the Corsair site that other people made. YOU CAN’T FIND THEM ANYWHERE ELSE.
Guys, does anyone have suggestions for an RGB app that allows dynamic lighting (where the lighting mirrors whats on the screen)? Tried openrgb but it straight up just crashes my system if I open the app and then have to restart my system. Signalrgb, although shows it has the feature, but for the love of god haven’t been able to eneable that. And finally MSI software, it works, but its just suck up like 50% of CPU at idle with like tons of unwanted processes running in the background
