ASUS ROG 1200W Thor RGB help Aura

[SebastianEier]

So I now have the Asus Thor 1200w installed it it works great and looks great. However I can't figure out how to control the RGB leds.

I have an MSI motherboard, MSI Gaming M5 Z370.

There is a  RGB labeled cable that followed with the PSU, but i dont think it will fit anywhere on my motherboard (it would probably fit on the fan headers but dont wanna fry anything).

 

How can I control the Aura RGB's on my PSU? Currently its permantely red.

I'm not sure, but I'm afraid you'll need aura...

Yes, and i also paid 250$ for Razer hyperflux computer mouse. It's a free world.

This is the correct price.

The way i view it, it comes wtih 10 year warranty. So worst case scenerio I'll have to buy a new one in 10 years, i.e. yearly cost of 35£, not to bad imo.

The reason i bouhgt it, is because I was getting sick tired of my CX750M coil whine and noise. So wanted the best quality i could get. Given that Seasonic (Asus supplier) is amazing in terms of quality i bought the 1200w thor. Now you might ask why i didnt buy the 860W for 100$ less. Becuase if i ever do multiple GPU in the future, i want to keep my options open, and if I'm going to spend 250$ i might as well go all the way and not think about it.

 

 

 

Having said all of this, HOW can i control the LEDS?

look. I'll just say this once and then i'll shut up about it.

 

those psu's can be found for 80 (or less) bucks at 850 watts. now i'll shut up

 

I'm afraid knowing asus that you'll need their own ecosystem, aka aura. you could ask them if they have any alternatives, but I don't have them for you and I can't imagine mystic and asus products working together

You started a thread and the proper thing to do is to provide all the info you have including  your specs.

i don't like this "go to my profile to look my specs) as the majority don't

I understand you're frustration if you feel like I did an uninformed purchase. Well aware this PSU wasnt and isn't great value. But i like the OLED screen, it's high end build quality and fully aware i could drop the oled screen and just buy direct from Seasonic and save a couple hundred bucks. People spend 200$ on sleeved cables, not great value either, but i can understand why.

I told you I would shut up about it, and I get it. exept from some recent issues and the fact they are still selling some crappy 10 year old psu's they are a great psu maker. 

 

but now back to business, I would contact asus if they know anything, but it seems you're out of luck as far as I can find

Ah ok. Not that often on LTT forum, if thats the precedent then ofcourse i would  and i will

Just thought because they had this feature that was the precedent set.

You are supposed to connect the 3 pin addressable RGB cable to the motherboard. However, your motherboard does not have that header. So you can't connect them. 

Also, you should know that the 10 year warranty is for the core components of the PSU. The RGB and OLED screen only have 3 year warranties.
