Gigabyte Motherboard Specific Guide

This guide is written specifically for NZXT Gaming PCs using Gigabyte branded motherboards. Screenshots were captured on the Gigabyte B650 UD AC motherboard.

Many Gaming PCs will feature RGB Lighting as an option for adding a bit of self expression to your gaming setup.  Depending on specific hardware in your PC however, the exact steps to control this hardware will require different software and setup.  For systems featuring the following Gigabyte branded hardware, you will need to use the Gigabyte Control Center (GCC) software:

• Gigabyte Motherboards
• Gigabyte GPUs
• Gigabyte Liquid Coolers*

* Only applies to Gigabyte Waterforce X line of LCD-equipped liquid coolers.  Other models may instead use RGB Fusion 2.0.

Installing Gigabyte Control Center (GCC)

Before starting you will need to make sure that Gigabyte Control Center is installed on your PC.  This can be downloaded from the link above or may be prompted the first time you start your PC.

Once Gigabyte Control Center is installed, it is recommended to update the program to the latest version and download the RGB Fusion module(s).  To do this, open the Update Center either by clicking the link on a supported product or the update icon on the left sidebar.

With the Update Center open, select any available updates in the GCC component category and then click Install.  If you are updating GIGABYTE Control Center from the list, you may need to repeat this process for additional components.

Once updated, GCC should show additional features for any compatible components, including lighting controls for motherboards, RAM modules, and Graphics Cards.

Using RGB Fusion

To use RGB Fusion, select a component that you wish to control.  To start, we'll select the Motherboard.

In the Motherboard settings for RGB Fusion, by default Sync will be enabled which will allow you to control all connected devices with Sync enabled to share the same RGB effects.  These effects can be selected from the right-side of the RGB Fusion window.

To disable Sync, click the switch under each compatible product that you wish to disable.  Disabling Sync allows you to control each device's RGB components separately and may unlock additional RGB modes for those components.  For example, disabling Sync for a motherboard allows individual access for connected RGB headers as shown below.

Disabling Sync also allows for individual LED control on compatible RGB RAM.

This is not all that can be done using Gigabyte Control Center and RGB Fusion.  For more information on specific products, please refer to the manufacturer provided user's manual.
