Fully Customizable LED Control
With Gamers valuing control over the aesthetics of their Gaming PC more and more, it was an easy choice for GIGABYTE to include Pin Headers for third-party LED strips. These Pin Headers can be found on both the X99 and Z170X-Ultra Gaming Motherboards, allowing the user to have full control of the system’s onboard LEDs with GIGABYTE’s Ambient LED Application. Not only can users control the color of the LEDs but also the lighting method such as beat mode, which illuminates to the sound of your music, or pulse mode that phases on and off imitating a heartbeat or breath.

Keeping Your System Cool with Hybrid Fan Pin Headers
A system’s CPU and GPU can generate a lot of heat, and often gamers and enthusiasts purchase extra fans and liquid cooling equipment to keep their system cool while under a heavy load. With the Hybrid Fan Pin Headers users can fully integrate their after-market fans and liquid cooling pumps into their GIGABYTE motherboard.
