The Mystic Light LED System

The Mystic Light LED System

So we really need to dedicate a page on the RGB LED system on this motherboard as it is rather unique and a primary feature of this product. It might only be LEDs but it is a big chunk of what this product is all about.

Throughout the motherboard hidden under the heatsink and shielding are LED arrays. These are actually color configurable and called Mystic Light. The LEDs can be configured as ON / OFF with just one color of your preference, but you can also select animations. Basically you install the MSI Gaming app and you will notice new features:

This is a software feature, meaning if your PC is turned off, the LED system will not work other than its default RED lights. Also if you run anything other than Windows Vista/7/8.1/10 this will not work. I do know that an Android app is in the works for this to work as well, it'll connect through Bluetooth I think. In the gaming app select the LED features and it will become quickly apparent what it can do. Photos, I can tell you, do not do any justice so I made a quick video demonstrating some options and LED animations.

Have a peek at the video to get a bit of an idea what the Mystic Light LED system is all about. So the video serves as an example of what you can expect LED wise. Alternatively, you can turn it off as well.
