ELITE LCD devices, such as the iCUE H150i ELITE LCD XT Display Liquid CPU Cooler and the iCUE ELITE CPU Cooler LCD Display Upgrade Kit, support animated .GIF files of up to 30 Megabytes. While you can simply download an existing .GIF that meets the filesize requirement, custom animations should be made to fit the display’s 480 by 480 pixel resolution with a framerate of up to 30 frames per second for best results.
Import your video clip or animated GIF to edit.
Video clips can be converted into animated .GIF files in most video editing software. Open up your editor of choice and import your video clip.
Adjust the sequence settings to 480x480 (1:1 aspect ratio).
Create a new sequence with this clip and change the sequence settings to 480 by 480 pixels and adjust the framing until you get the desired crop. Keep in mind that this 480 by 480 square will actually be played back on a circular display.
Make additional edits as needed.
Export this project as an animated .GIF file and keep in mind that 30 Megabytes is the limit, so if you go over that, you'll need to either adjust the framerate, lower the resolution, or shorten the runtime of the animation.
Export the finished project as an animated GIF.
With the animation now exported, launch CORSAIR iCUE, switch to the profile that you wish to have this .GIF applied to and add the file to the ELITE LCD.
Import the GIF you created into CORSAIR iCUE.
The custom .GIF can also be saved directly to the ELITE LCD onboard memory, useful for instances where iCUE isn’t running, such as when you lock your PC. Simply go to the Hardware Screen menu for the ELITE LCD device, add the custom .GIF and click the save button.
Add the GIF as a Hardware Screen to playback when Windows is locked or iCUE isn't running.
