Setting up lighting effects

To create a lighting effect:

Select your cooler in the iCUE home screen.
Select Lighting Effects.
Select Ring.
Click the + button in the Lighting Layers section to create a new lighting layer.
Select the lighting effect you want in Lighting Type.
- NOTE: Selecting a Lighting Link effect will apply that effect to all of your iCUE-compatible devices.
Customize your lighting effect however you want.

Changing screen display

You can use iCUE to change what is being displayed on the screen of your ELITE LCD. You can select from presets such as monitor readouts such as coolant temperature, or create a screen of your own by picking a picture or an animated GIF from your files.

You can also select a screen to display whenever iCUE is not running, such as when you lock your PC or turn off your PC completely.

To change the screen display:

Select your cooler in the iCUE home screen.
Select Screen Setup.
Select the screen you want to display in the Screen Types section.
- If you select Image/GIF, please note that animated GIFs can be up to 480 x 480 pixels and have a framerate up to 30 FPS.
To select a screen to display when iCUE is not running, click Hardware Screen.
Select either the default screen or Image/GIF in the Screen Types section.
If creating a custom screen, click Save in the white Info box when you are done.
