Creative Launches a BlasterX AE-5 PURE edition
The Sound BlasterX AE-5 also comes in a special white edition called PURE. Apart from its pristine white casing, the Pure Edition comes with four LED strips - three more than the standard version.
The sound card features a headphone amplifier for PCs. The Sound BlasterX AE-5 delivers the ultimate audio performance with the full force of a 122dB 32-bit/384kHz ESS Sabre™ DAC, a kick-ass custom-designed 600Ω discrete headphone amp, audiophile-grade components, and proprietary Sound Blaster audio enhancement technologies.
At the heart of the Sound BlasterX AE-5 sound card is the quad-core Sound Core3D audio DSP and a 122dB ESS Sabre-Class DAC that instantly boosts regular motherboard audio with up to 32 times more clarity. The premium audiophile-grade DAC with its high dynamic range indulges users with up to 32-bit/384kHz lossless playback and true audio fidelity for high-definition audio in games, movies, and music.
The Sound BlasterX AE-5 card is the first sound card to feature a built-in RGB controller that comes with the Aurora Reactive Lighting System. A separate RGB lighting system could set a user back by at least USD 50, but now this is built into the card itself with the AE-5, giving users amazing value and performance for their system. This also means that valuable space within a gamer’s desktop can be saved for other components.
The RGB controller, powered by Creative’s very own Aurora Reactive Lighting System, not only lights up the card through the PCB, but also gives gamers the flexibility to build their dream gaming rig by connecting up to four LED strips to match the awesome sound with an awesome light show. The fully customizable Aurora Reactive Lighting System allows users to choose from multiple presets or program it with up to 16.8 million colors and various rhythms to choose from, using the Sound Blaster Connect PC software.
The Sound BlasterX AE-5 PURE will be available in this month for USD179.99.

Daniel_K's modded drivers are all you need for a creative card for Windows 10.

Was kind of hoping the PURE would mean a more barebones edition without LEDS (also cheaper).
EDIT: lols, Creative's general manager actually said this:
"... And that’s not all, the AE-5 also takes the sensory experience beyond sound with a 16.8 million color light show.”
Holy hell, what's next? Some LSD strips?

Daniel_K's modded drivers are only X-Fi series cards
The problem with Windows 10 and fall update are with the creative apps
No I think that was going to be the Sound BlasterX AE-3 but so far nothing
