Hey guys! first time posting here.
I have a question. Does anyone know of a way to get custom LED visulizations on motherboards (Mine is the ASUS sabertooth z97).

I love LED's in PC systems, and I love the idea of GeForce's LED visilization software, but I don't want to shell out money for a LED capable GPU, esp. not just for LEDs. Nor the extra bulk of dedicated LED lighting (i.e. NZXT hue, etc.)
I then thought, my mobo is covered in LEDs, why not utilize those (when I'm not using them for debuging on startup :P ) A brief search on the Goog's didn't show any options. Does anyone know if/how this can be achieved?

Thanks guys!

I think the LEDs are controlled at too low a level, you would have to really know the board.

Would it be at any level lower than what a program like SpeedFan, or CPU-Z would use?

Yeah, most likely uses some proprietary micro controllers and stuff.
