RGB HEADERSRGB

LIGHTING PERFECTED

ROG Strix X299-XE Gaming features a duo of onboard 5050 RGB headers and an addressable header that can be connected to compatible lighting strips, fans, coolers, and PC cases, creating a new world of illumination possibilities. It also comes with a ROG addressable strip .

*The addressable RGB header supports WS2812B addressable RGB LED strips (5V/Data/Ground), with a max power rating of 3A (5V) and a max of 60 LEDs.
* The Aura RGB-strip header supports 5050 RGB LED strips with a max power rating of 3A (12V). For maximum brightness, strip length should not exceed 2m.
**RGB and addressable RGB LED extension cables are included. LED strips and Aura Sync-compatible devices are sold separately.

INFINITE LIGHTING POSSIBILITIES

ASUS Aura SDK allows developers to take full advantage of the vast eco-system of Aura Sync-capable PC gear. From in-system illumination to peripherals and beyond, the SDK provides an evolving toolkit of options to enhance games and software with RGB lighting. Game effects, alerts, and audio can all be portrayed via Aura-compatible hardware, creating subtle or dazzling visual cues to augment the action. There's also scope to map system parameters such as temperatures to lighting, giving enthusiasts new ways to monitor vital information.

PERFORMANCE

VRM COOLING

The latest high-core-count Intel Core i7 and i9 CPUs consume serious amounts of power — so ROG Strix X299-XE Gaming is equipped with serious VRM cooling. Featuring a high-mass, finned heatsink, the expansive surface area dissipates heat efficiently. And, to push the platform as far as you desire, we've even included a bracket that allows you to mount a bundled fan to accelerate the airflow.

M.2 HEATSINK

PERFECTED COOLING FOR UNLEASHING PERFORMANCE

ROG Strix X299-XE Gaming motherboards are equipped with an M.2 heatsink integrated into the PCH heatsink. With a huge cooling surface, the M.2 heatsink perfectly chills an inserted M.2 SSD — for consistent performance and reliability. Featuring a stylish angular design, the M.2 heatsink adds a beautiful touch to the build, while the T-sensor detects temperatures in the vital M.2 area for instant monitoring.
